Final Report for Archaeological Testing of the 55 Acre Kyrene 500 kV Receiving Station Area, Maricopa County, Arizona
Author(s): Robert E. Gasser
Year: 1979
Summary
A 55 acre parcel of private land adjacent to the' existing Salt River Project Kyrene Steam Generating Plant was surveyed by the Museum of Northern Arizona in March, 1979. At that time three areas of artifact concentrations were noted and the area was designated NA15,779. The previous investigator (Keller 1979) recommended backhoe trenching within the areas of artifact concentration to determine if undisturbed cultural deposits remain beneath the field plow zone. This investigation placed six backhoe trenches in the three areas and found no significant intact cultural resources. Five of the trenches failed to reveal any undisturbed cultural material, while one trench exposed part of a pit filled with cultural debris. Archaeological clearance for the parcel is recommended.
