description: Archaeological investigations at Williams Air Force Base (WAFB), located in southeast Maricopa County, Arizona, were initiated in response to the 1991 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission’s (the Closure Commission) recommendation to close WAFB following the passage of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (the Closure Act) (Public Law 101-510, Title XXIX). 
SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants, conducted a cultural resource inventory on approximately 2000 acres of all portions of WAFB that had not been inventoried previously or were not occupied by existing facilities; inventory documents from previous investigations were examined as well. Three cultural properties (sites) were known from previous archaeological investigations at WAFB and on parcels adjacent to the base. The Midvale Site, AZ U:10:24(ASU), which lies under much of the administrative and residential area of the base, had already been surveyed and listed on the NRHP. The other two cultural properties (AZ U:10:20[ASU] and AZ U:10:25[ASU]) were re-examined and included in the evaluation process; the Midvale Site received no additional study.
The cultural resource inventory for the 2000-acre portion of the base not previously inventoried resulted in the discovery and recording of nine additional sites (AZ U:10:60[ASM] through AZ U:10:68[ASM]). In order to define site boundaries and determine NRHP eligibility, a subsurface testing phase subsequently was implemented at eleven sites. Determination of boundaries during this phase was primarily for planning purposes and was not meant to be definitive. Following testing, 13 sites were defined within the base, including one site (a canal) that had not been identified during the cultural resource inventory. One of these sites is listed on the NRHP, four sites are not considered eligible for the NRHP, and eight sites are considered eligible for the NRHP.
Revised treatment plan in accordance with the May 18, 1995 Programmatic Agreement.
