description: This report discusses the results of archaeological testing at AZ T:16:19 (ASM) by SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA). Previous archaeological survey in the area of a proposed residential development identified prehistoric Hohokam artifacts, more recent O’odham sherds, and a few Euroamerican artifacts that were collectively grouped into site AZ T:16:19 (ASM). Miller Holdings, Inc. (Miller Holdings) of Scottsdale, Arizona requested that SWCA conduct archaeological testing to determine if the site was significant and if it would be impacted by their proposed residential development. AZ T:16:19 (ASM) is adjacent to the Ak-Chin Reservation on private land at the southwest edge of the town of Maricopa, Arizona. SWCA excavated 2512 linear meters of backhoe trench at the site. This trenching resulted in the identification of three cultural features (two aboriginal refuse deposits and one Euroamerican adobe house). Prehistoric artifacts at the site date to the Pioneer through Classic periods (A.D. 500-1400) although use appears to have been greatest during the Sedentary period (A.D. 950-1150). The majority of O’odham sherds at the site can be dated to the protohistoric period (pre- A.D. 1625). Later O’odham occupations dating to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are also evident. The Euroamerican component consists primarily of one adobe house and a cluster of 1910s through 1930s artifacts near the house.
