Archaeological Testing Beneath the Duffield Addition to the Fish-Stevens-Duffield House, AZ BB:13:24 (ASM), Tucson, Arizona

Summary
In October 1998, Desert Archaeology, Inc. conducted archaeological testing inside the Duffield portion of the historic Fish-Stevens-Duffield House. The structure was until recently the location of Janos restaurant. The restaurant has vacated the structure and the Tucson Museum of Art is planning to convert the area to gallery space. The building is owned by the City of Tucson and leased to the Tucson Museum of Art. Architect Bob Vint performed an assessment of the property in September 1998 and noted that the extreme northwest corner of the structure was deteriorating (Appendix A). The condition of the structure worsened rapidly and by early October it became apparent that portions of the wall would have to be repaired. The most likely cause of the deterioration was identified as moisture rising from the ground, and an excavation under the floor in the interior of the house was proposed to determine the source of the water causing the structural damage. Desert Archaeology was asked to excavate the test trench inside the structure to determine whether undisturbed archaeological deposits were present.
