Between October 2002 and April 2003, Logan Simpson Design Inc. (LSD) conducted archaeological excavations at six prehistoric Prescott Culture sites around Willow and Watson Lakes, situated in the Granite Dells, a picturesque area of exposed granite bedrock located approximately 6.5 to 8 km (4 to 5 miles) north of the city of Prescott. The results of these excavations and the specialized studies of recovered artifacts and cultural samples are presented herein and, it is hoped, contribute to an increased understanding of the development of the Prescott Culture as a distinctive prehistoric cultural tradition in Arizona.
