Summary

This report presents HRA's final data recovery investigations at four prehistoric sites (42WS1748, 42WS4465, 42WS4718, 42WS4472 and 44WS4474) located on the north side of Washington City, in Washington County, Utah. A single pithouse at the fifth site, Obsidian Cache Pithouse (42WS4474), was excavated several years earlier between February and April of 2006. These five sites were excavated to recover the important information prior to the construction of residential housing development. The sites dated to the Middle and Late Archaic, Basketmaker II, and Post-Puebloan periods. All five sites were recorded by HRA in 2004-2005, and in 2006 they underwent extensive test excavations on behalf of the State of Utah, School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA). The Obsidian Cache Pithouse was not located on lands managed by SITLA lands and was excavated by HRA with the private landowner’s permission.
