Author(s): Frederick Huntington; J. Holmlund
Year: 2019
Summary
The following report details the evaluation and mapping of the two portions of site A Z AA:11:12 (ASM) that fall within the right-of-way of the Western Area Power Administration's 115-kv transmission line between transmission line structures 9/4 to 9/7 and structures 10/4 and 10/5 located between the Saguaro Steam Plant and the Tucson Substation. The entire right-of-way was 200 ft. wide and included 4390 linear feet. The field work was conducted between June 9-16, 1986 by personnel from the Institute for American Research and Archaeological Graphics Service under Purchase Order No. 6-11-G 1-30644. In addition, John Madsen of the Arizona State Museum, who has worked at AZ AA:11:12 as part of the Northern Tucson Basin Survey, volunteered several hours of his time to show the mapping team around the site. During this initial walkover of the site, Madsen pointed out the location of a ballcourt and a capped mound as well as several exposed roasting pit features and dense concentrations of surface artifacts. Although both the ballcourt and the capped mound are located outside of the present project boundaries, their documentation aids in the evaluation of the site as a whole which is a prerequisite to evaluating the significance of the portions of the site situated within the bounds of the present project.
