Final Report on Phased Archaeological Data Recovery at the Boulder Bend Site, AZ W:16:7 (ASM)/AR-03-01-03-233 (ASNF), Arizona State Route 78, Greenlee County, Arizona
Editor(s): Michael W. Diehl

Summary
Desert Archaeology, Inc., personnel conducted phased archaeological data recovery at the Boulder Bend site. The site includes a small architectural mound located on Apache-Gravesides National Forests (ASNF) land west of the State Route (SR) 78 right-of-way, and an associated potsherd and flaked stone scatter that extends east of the SR 78 right-of-way, and is migrating down slope from the vicinity of the architectural mound. The Boulder Bend site straddles SR 78. The area of the site west of SR 78 is within land owned by the ASNF, and it is also within the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) easement of the extant road, but lies outside the Area of Potential Effect (APE) of the proposed realignment of SR 78. The area of the site east of SR 78 is within ADOT-owned land, and is within the APE of the proposed realignment of SR 78.
Previous surveys found that the Boulder Bend site was eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D, due to the potential to provide significant information about Mimbres Mogollon prehistory in eastern Arizona (Diehl 2005; Hill and Lonardo 2000). Based on the concentration of artifacts around the architectural mound, and based on the appearance of the mound, evidence collected during phased data recovery is consistent with these earlier findings. A preliminary report and clearance letters were submitted to AZTEC Engineering, Inc., in February 2008.
