Summary

This report presents the results of archival and archaeological document studies and archaeological testing for the Sky Harbor International Airport Master Plan Improvements project. Investigations were initiated on April 9, 1992, and completed on May 15, 1992, by SWCA, Inc. Environmental Consultants, under contract to Griener, Inc. Griener was under contract to the City of Phoenix Aviation Department to complete an environmental impact statement for expansion of airport facilities. The Federal Aviation Administration served as lead agency. Archival studies (Class I Survey) were conducted for four parcels: a 95-acre parcel to be included in the construction of the new third runway; the Northwest Parcel; the Northeast Parcel; and a segment of the proposed realignment of Street. Archaeological testing (Class II Survey) occurred within Parcel A. Originally, the investigations, were considered to be a Class II Survey because the archaeological testing was for a sample of Parcel A, However, the inclusion of the archival studies has resulted in both a Class I and Class II survey.
