Archaeological Investigations West Papago - Inner Loop Sections of Interstate 10, Group 1, Los Aumentos, State and Private Lands, Maricopa County, Arizona
Author(s): Ronald K. Yablon
Year: 1890
Summary
The Museum of Northern Arizona, under contract to the Arizona Department of Transportation, has completed test investigations in five areas along the route of the proposed West Papago-Inner Loop sections of Interstate 10. Area 1 - NA15,787 included a portion of a site identified by Midvale as the Los Aumentos Ruin. However, with the exception of two small canals, there was no subsurface evidence of prehistoric or important historic occupation. Area 2 - NA15,788 and Area 3 - NA15,789 were devoid of any important cultural resources. However, site numbers were assigned for administrative purposes. Area 4 - NA15,790 included a portion of a small Hohokam site. There was evidence of a Santa Cruz phase occupation and a Classic period (re)occupation. However, most of the site lies south of the right-of way and was not investigated during the testing program. Area 5 - NA15,791 produced both historic and prehistoric remains. The recovered historic remains indicated an occupation starting about 1920, with the maximum occupation occurring during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Archival data which could not be confirmed in the field indicates Anglo interest in the area starting in 1868. Observed prehistoric remains were few in number and occurred as scattered isolated loci.
