description: This report presents the results of archaeological testing conducted within the proposed Hohokam Corporate Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The testing was requested by V.T., Inc. to assess cultural resources in the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) corridor that exists within the larger parcel. Proposed plans for the parcel include the development of the Hohokam Corporate Center, which would entail ground disturbing activities. The testing program was initiated to identify any cultural properties within the Bureau of Reclamation parcel, and to evaluate their potential for inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places. The testing parcel consisted of a corridor approximately 420 m (1378 feet) long north-south, and 12 m (40 feet) east-west. The corridor was based on the location of an historic canal, known as the San Francisco Canal, to which the Bureau of Reclamation has title. The centerline of the canal was staked prior to the archaeological testing by surveyors using historic property descriptions of the canal location. The project right-of-way corridor is 40 ft wide, extending 20 feet (6 m) to either side of the centerline stakes. Archaeological testing within the project corridor located four features consisting of two prehistoric canals, the historic canal that had been previously located, and a prehistoric burned surface. The features were collectively assigned site number AZ U:9:186 (ASM). None of the features are considered to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and no further archaeological work is recommended.
