End of Fieldwork Report: Archaeological Data Recovery at AZ AA:12:311 (ASM) for the Coventry Homes Sewer Line
Author(s): David B. Tucker
Year: 1996
Summary
Archaeologists from SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants excavated within site AZ AA:12:311 (ASM) from September 4th to September 20th, 1996. A total of 41 person-days were spent investigating nine features and seven sub-features. These excavations were located along a proposed sewer line for Del Webb’s Coventry Homes. Prior archaeological testing utilized a backhoe to dig trenches in accessible areas along the line (Terzis 1996). Four features were noted in the profiles of these trenches, all within the bounds of site AZ AA:12:311 (ASM). The present project was intended to recover enough data to mitigate the impacts to these features.
A total of sixteen features within AZ AA:12:311 (ASM) were investigated along the proposed route of a sewage pipe for Coventry Homes. The features included roasting pits, thermal features, general midden areas, a cremation, and an inhumation. Artifact analysis will entail careful examination of the ceramics, lithics, faunal bone, shell, macrofloral, and pollen. The results of these analyses will help establish the chronology of the site, as well as what activities took place there. A complete report is in preparation.
