Tumacacori Plaza Excavation 1979: Historical Archeology at Tumacacori National Monument, Arizona

摘要

Excavations conducted at Tumacacori National Monument, Arizona, in 1979 recovered data that would have been destroyed by the installation of an underground drainage system in the Franciscan mission plaza and adjacent to the west wall of the mission church. This system was designed to aid in the stabilization of the historic structures. This report describes the surprisingly intact stratigraphy of the excavated area. Features and deposits were grouped into four areas of associated deposits and into four time periods ranging from ca 1750 to the present.
