This report describes the archaeological excavations at, and subsequent laboratory analysis of material from, the Westwing Site, AZ T:7:27 (ASU), lying within the Salt River Project and the United States Bureau of Reclamation rights-of-way between the Westwing Substation and the Eastwing Substation, Maricopa County, Arizona. The excavations concentrated on the area to be impacted by construction of Tower Number 4 of the transmission line and the associated access road and support facilities. On June 22, 1973, a letter agreement to conduct archaeological investigations at the site was negotiated between Arizona State University and the Salt River Project. On August 2, 1973, a similar contract to conduct archaeological research on adjacent portions of the same site was negotiated between Arizona State University and the National Park Service, acting in behalf of the Bureau of Reclamation. Field work under the direction of the author began on July 3, 1973, and terminated August 17, 1973. The work force consisted primarily of undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Anthropology from Arizona State University. Twenty-three days were spent in the field during which 131 worker-days were expended, 75 on the Salt River Project right-of-way, and 56 on the United States Bureau of Reclamation right-of-way. Laboratory processing and analysis of the recovered material and report preparation were carried out at Arizona State University under the direction of the author.
