Author(s): Daniel Garcia; S. Jerome Hesse

Year: 2015

Summary

Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority (PMGAA) proposes the Northeast Area Development Plan (NADP), which would relocate the existing airport passenger terminal complex to the northeastern corner of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (the Airport), in the City of Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. Ricondo and Associates, Inc., under contract to PMGAA, retained SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) to conduct National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility testing at four archaeological sites—AZ U:10:316 (ASM), AZ U:10:317 (ASM), AZ U:10:320 (ASM), and AZ U:10:321 (ASM)—in advance of development. Testing fieldwork took place on November 2-5, 2015, and was conducted in accordance with the approved work plan: A National Register of Historic Places Eligibility Testing Plan for Sites AZ U:10:316 (ASM), AZ U:10:317 (ASM), AZ U:10:320 (ASM), and AZ U:10:321 (ASM) at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona (Hesse 2015). No archaeological features or significant cultural deposits were identified as a result of the investigations. The four archaeological sites warrant no additional study or preservation, and SWCA recommends that they are ineligible for NRHP consideration.
