Archaeological Testing at AZ DD:4:141 (ASM): A Prehistoric Site in the Tinaja Hills Pima County, Arizona
Author(s): Deni J. Seymour; R. Thomas Euler
Year: 1989
Summary
This report presents project background information and the results of investigations conducted at an archaeological site located in the Tinaja Hills of southern Arizona. A site evaluation, controlled surface collection, and trenching program was conducted at AZ DD:4:141 (ASM) between October 9 and 17, 1989, by SWCA. This investigation (SWCA Project No. 90336-1) was carried out under contract with Caterpillar, Inc, of Phoenix, Arizona. The work was conducted by a crew of three archaeologists and required 15 person-field days to complete.
AZ DD:4:141 (ASM) was first identified and recorded during an archaeological survey conducted by SWCA during the summer of 1988 (Euler 1988). This survey was initiated under contract with Celia Barr Associates as part of the Arizona Proving Grounds planning process. Further investigations at the site have been necessitated by the fact that the project area is currently under development as the Arizona Proving Grounds for Caterpillar, Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona. The site under consideration is situated in an area of a planned materials pit. The location was chosen by Caterpillar, Inc. because of the unusual nature of underlying deposits which are suitable for construction activities. Since the area has been specifically targeted for planned construction activities and would thus be adversely affected, it was recommended that a testing program be carried out. The purpose of this program was to determine whether or not significant subsurface deposits are present as they relate to National Register criteria.
