description: Archaeological investigation of two sites on the selected lands for a proposed exchange involving the transfer of public, Tonto National Forest administered lands to private ownership. This document details the results of the testing program that was completed on two sites within the Ellison Creek Project area, AR-03-12-04-1311 and AR-03-12-04-1335. This work was implemented in order to evaluate the eligibility of these sites for the National Register of Historic Places. One site (AR-03-12-04-1335) is a prehistoric sherd and lithic scatter, possibly representing a short-term camp or resource procurement location, and the other (AR 03-12-04-1311) is a set of rock alignments of historic-to-recent age. Based on the results of testing, only Site AR-03-12-04-1335 is recommended to be eligible for NRHP inclusion.
