Summary

This report presents the results of archaeological testing and limited data recovery for a portion of the Lombeye Ruin, AZ T:12:109(ASM), in Phoenix, Arizona. Two Salt River Project (SRP) canals, owned by the Bureau of Reclamation, are to be relocated as part of a proposed residential development by Providence Development, Inc. A previous archaeological survey determined that the canal relocations would adversely affect the Lombeye Ruin (Fangmeier 2003). In compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, a treatment plan was prepared to help mitigate potential adverse effects to the Lombeye Ruin resulting from the canal relocations (Mitchell et al. 2004).

The two canals are located on the north and south edges of Providence Development’s on-going residential project area. This report focuses on testing and data recovery for the southern canal relocation. Monitoring for the northern canal relocation will occur at a later date. A segment of the SRP Southern Avenue canal was tested previously for a different project and four prehistoric features were documented (Homburg and Ciolek-Torrello 2000). SWCA tested an additional 220 m within the canal alignment to determine the nature and extent of cultural features within this area that will be disturbed by the proposed SRP Southern Avenue canal relocation. No features were found during this additional testing. Two features, an homo and a midden, were excavated and are documented in this report.
