description: The results of archaeological Phase 1 data recovery, including exploratory excavation and supplemental archival research, of an artifact scatter, Component B, within the municipal boundaries of the Town of Sahuarita, Pima County, Arizona, are presented in this report. The work was requested by Sage Landscape Architecture and Environmental for the planned Quail Crossing Boulevard alignment to be constructed by the Town of Sahuarita on State Trust Land (State Land Department Row #16-112095). Specifically, the data recovery project area is Component B of EE:1:349 as identified in Stone (2007). The work followed the plan and recommendations outlined in the Research Design and Plan For Archaeological Data Recovery (Wocherl 2007). In January and February of 2008, Desert Archaeology, Inc., personnel undertook exploratory testing at Component B. William H. Doelle, Ph. D., of Desert Archaeology, was the Principal Investigator for the project and Helga Wocherl, Ph. D., was the Project Director (Arizona Antiquities Project Specific Permit No. 2008-068ps; Arizona State Museum Accession Number 2007-0813). Although prehistoric artifacts are present on the surface, no prehistoric subsurface features or artifacts were found. Historic era features and artifacts were found outside the proposed construction right-of-way, both on the surface and in subsurface features. The project findings indicate the presence of a domestic setting connected with ranching/farming land use. Based on the nature of the findings, the historic aspect of Component B meets eligibility requirements to the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D. The project background, the methods employed, and results obtained during archaeological data recovery and supplemental archival research are detailed in this report. Additional project records are curated at the Arizona State Museum (ASM).
