Summary

At the request of City of Phoenix (COP) Street Transportation Department, Logan Simpson Design Inc. (LSD) investigated the discovery of human remains exposed during trenching by COP for a storm drain construction project in central Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. The project consisted of the installation of a storm drain, catch basins, and connector pipes as well as the moving of water meters and fire hydrants. In compliance with COP policy and the Arizona Antiquities Act, LSD previously had prepared a monitoring and discovery plan for this project (Breen 2005) and monitored portions of the project area in the vicinity of three projected relict canals, but no significant cultural resources or human remains were identified (Bild 2005). The discovery was made on July 14, 2005 by a COP employee supervising the trench excavation. All work ceased immediately in the vicinity of the discovery and LSD was contacted to confirm the discovery and proceed with recovery of the burial. LSD designated the burial Feature 1, and Arizona State Museum issued a new site number, AZ T:12:229 (ASM). The burial was investigated by LSD in compliance with A.R.S. § 41-844 and A.R.S. § 41-865 and recovered under the conditions of an existing burial agreement between COP and ASM. LSD conducted supplementary monitoring during subsequent trench excavation west of the burial discovery to ensure that additional human remains or other important cultural resources would not be impacted by construction-related activities.
