An Archaeological Survey of Two Arizona River Crossings Along the All-American Pipeline

Archaeological Consulting Services (ACS) conducted an archaeological survey of two major Arizona river crossings along the proposed route of the All-American Pipeline at the request of Dr. Ed Weil, Cultural Resources Manager, Applied Conservation Technology (ACT). ACT is coordinating the entire cultural resource effort along this proposed pipeline from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean and has subcontracted with ACS to undertake the Arizona portion of the route. Because the placement of the river crossings is important in determining the location of the line, and because they are located on private land, they were surveyed at an early stage in the project's development. The two crossings, one on the Gila River and the other on the San Pedro River, are over 100 miles apart and present very different cultural resource situations, thus they will be treated separately. This record contains a draft report.
