Summary

This report discusses the results of archaeological data recovery conducted at eleven prehistoric sites within the proposed Carlota Copper Mine (Carlota). The project area is located west of Miami, Arizona, principally on lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service, Tonto National Forest. In order to comply with the appropriate federal legislation regarding the cultural resources within the project area, Carlota contracted with SWCA to conduct archaeological investigations. A series of archaeological studies and plans have been completed and written for the archaeological investigations (Ahlstrom, Euler, and Doak 1993; Goodman 1995; Mitchell and Zyniecki 1994; SWCA 1993). This is the third preliminary field report prepared as a result of data recovery efforts. Two others have reported on data recovery investigations at three prehistoric sites (Howell and Mitchell 1996) and eleven historic sites (Goodman and Greenwald 1996). Shows the project area in east central Arizona and shows the locations of the eleven sites within the project area.
