Class 3 Archaeological Survey of the Phase B Corridor, Tucson Aqueduct, Central Arizona Project. Late Archaic; Late Pioneer, Colonial, Sedentary, and Early Classic Period Tucson Basin Hohokam; and Sobaipuri Occupation in the Avra Valley, Southern Arizona

摘要

An intensive Class III survey, recording, and testing program was conducted for the Phase B segment of the Central Arizona Project Tucson Aqueduct. Located primarily in the Avra Valley, the Phase B aqueduct runs for about 80 km from Marana on the north to the southeast corner of the San Xavier Papago Indian Reservation on the south. An area of 3,370 ha was intensively surveyed, and 47 sites and 8 nonsites were recorded. These include Archaic; Late Pioneer, Colonial, and Sedentary Hohokam; and Prohistoric 'Sobaipuri' sites. Site types include 4 Archaic camps; 2 Hohokam villages; 6 Hohokam farmstead-field houses; 28 limited-activity sites, many of which were attributed to the Hohokam; 4 quarries; and 3 Protohistoric sites. Of the 47 recorded sites, 24 are recommended for data recovery.
