A Cultural Resource Survey for an AT&T Buried Fiberoptic Communication Cable Between Apache Junction and Tucson: State Land Portion

Summary

Archaeological Consulting Services, ltd. (ACS) performed a cultural resource inventory and assessment investigation for the proposed AT&T buried fiberoptic communication cable between Apache Junction and Tucson, Arizona. This work was performed at the request of Mr. Kenneth Reinert of Coates Field Services, Inc. The field survey was directed by Dr. Richard Effland and was conducted during the period from May 3 to May 16, 1985. The cable will be buried within the western edge of the right-of-way for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Highway 80/89 south of Apache Junction to just north of Tucson. The purpose of the study conducted by ACS was to identify all historical and archaeological sites present within the project right-of-way and evaluate their significance. The focus then was to identify possible effects of burying the cable within a site and to explore means to avoid or minimize these effects. A total of five archaeological sites were identified during the survey. A records search of the State and Federal Registers housed at the State Historic Preservation Office was also performed. This records search verified that no other properties either listed on or eligible for the State or National Registers of Historic Places would be affected by the project.
