Archaeological Testing of Site AZ U:5:184 (ASM), Fountain Hills, Maricopa County, Arizona
Author(s): Michael Stubing; Douglas R. Mitchell
Year: 1997
Summary
This report presents the results of archaeological testing of site AZ U:5:184 (ASM), a Hohokam artifact scatter. The testing was conducted at the request of MCO Properties, owner of the land containing the site.The survey also located one other prehistoric site (AZ U:5:183 ASM), and 14 isolated occurrences.
The archaeological survey of the parcel identified site AZ U:5:184 (ASM) as a scatter of approximately 30 sherds and 2 ground stone fragments in a 50 by 40 m area (Mitchell and Ryden 1996:4). No features were observed on the site surface, however the site was considered to have potential for buried deposits. Archaeological testing was recommended to determine the significance of the site, and to assess its potential for inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and a testing plan was written (Mitchell 1997).
The archaeological testing at AZ U:5:184 (ASM) included instrument mapping of the site, surface collection of artifacts, and the excavation of three 1 by 1 m excavation units. No features were found within the site. The excavation units indicate the site does not contain subsurface deposits, and appears to be limited to the surface artifact scatter. The site does not appear to be eligible for inclusion to the NRHP, and no further archaeological work is recommended.
