Results of Archaeological Testing for the Installation of Utility Poles at the Hog Farm Ballcourt Site, AZ AA:11:12 (ASM), near Marana, Pima County, Arizona

Author(s): David M.R. Barr

Year: 2006

Summary

In June 2005, SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) conducted an archaeological survey for Trico Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Trico), along the east side of North Trico Road for a proposed underground utility line (Barr 2005). Because the proposed utility line was located within the known site boundaries of the Hog Farm Ballcourt site (AZ AA:11:12 [ASM]), Trico redesigned the project as an overhead power line to minimize impacts to the archaeological site. SWCA developed an archaeological treatment plan (Griset 2006) for the redesign, which, following approval by Pima County and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), was implemented by SWCA in August 2006.

The treatment plan called for the excavation of 1 x 1-m test units centered on 11 proposed utility poles and 2 pole-anchor locations. Archaeological testing at 10 of the 13 proposed pole and pole-anchor locations identified no significant subsurface cultural deposits. SWCA recommends no further archaeological work at these 10 locations. Three proposed pole locations were not tested. Although subsurface deposits are unlikely at these three proposed pole locations, SWCA recommends archaeological monitoring during ground-disturbing activities associated with their installation.
