Data Recovery at AZ T:12:413(ASM) for the Roeser Haciendas Development Project, Phoenix, Arizona

The site (AZ T:12:413[ASM]) was recommended as eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Avoidance to the site was not feasible so data recovery was conducted under an existing City-approved Plan, entitled “General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Projects Within the Boundaries of the City of Phoenix, Arizona” (Montero et al. 2008). A Supplemental Data Recovery Work Plan submitted to the City (see Mitchell 2011) was approved and implemented. As a result of the data recovery project, 63 features were investigated that included field houses, pit houses, pits, extramural surfaces, canals, isolated hearths, and two burials. The prehistoric Hohokam remains represent occupation in the project area during the late Red Mountain phase (A.D. 400-600) of the Pioneer Period, the Sacaton phase (A.D. 900-1100) of the Sedentary period, and the Soho phase (A.D. 1100-1300) of the Classic period.
