Rancho Vistoso Community Archaeological Site Inventory Report

Author(s): Douglas B. Craig

Year: 1986

Summary

Archaeological fieldwork for the Rancho Vistoso Survey was done between March 31, 1986 and July 3, 1986. A total of 240 person days was expended surveying the nearly 8,000 acres within the project boundaries. Forty-six sites and 128 non-sites were recorded and given field designations (FD’s). Two large prehistoric villages, known from earlier archaeological work in the area, were also mapped in detail and systematic surface collections made.

The following section describes all surface artifact concentrations considered to warrant status as archaeological sites. These sites have been assigned Arizona State Museum (ASM) site numbers. They are the main areas of concern for management purposes. To facilitate relocating these sites and features within the sites, a PVC stake was set in to serve as the site datum. Each PYC datum is capped and inscribed with the project name and field designation of the site. These can be relocated as necessary during later stages of fieldwork.

The final section of the report offers a brief assessment of the significance of each site with respect to more general site classes. Recommendations are made for conducting future archaeological work in the project area. These site descriptions and assessments should be considered preliminary pending a more detailed analysis of the artifacts recovered.
