Summary

The project consists of a records search and intensive pedestrian cultural resource inventory conducted on Reclamation-withdrawn lands along both sides of the Verde River south of Bartlett Dam. The project area consists of two irregularly shaped footprints to the west and south of Bartlett Reservoir and along the lower Verde River.

Statistical Research surveyed 586 acres of land in 2022 and 2023. Forty-nine archaeological sites were recorded and 77 isolated occurrences. Twenty-nine archaeological sites were determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and 20 were determined ineligible. The 49 sites consist of 31 Native American, 13 Euroamerican, and 5 dual-component Native American/Euroamerican sites. Twenty-seven of the sites had been previously recorded. Of the 49 total sites, 29 of them contain data relevant to one of more of the following research themes identified for the project: settlement, subsistence, technology, and regional economic development.
