Author(s): Rebekah Thimlar; Lea Mason-Kohlmeyer

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Community Matters: Enhancing Student Learning Opportunities through the Development of Community Partnerships" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In October of 2016, Pima Community College’s Centre for Archaeological Field Training worked with the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on a project to determine if the Stations of the Cross trail and Calvary statues on their property were eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The Calvary statues were constructed in 1952, with the Stations of the Cross added within a few years. Their long history in Tucson speaks to their significance to the Sisters and the community. Research for the project included mapping, photographic documentation, oral interviews, and archival research. This poster examines the research and conclusions of the project and documents the process of determining if a property is eligible.
