description: The archaeological research reported in this volume was conducted under contract with the Desert Vista Campus, Pima County Community College District. The contract provided for data recovery excavations at two sites located on portions of the campus property: AZ BB:13:15 (ASM) and AZ BB:13:74 (ASM). Both sites had been tested using backhoe trenching in 1992 (Huckell 1993), and had been found to have significant subsurface remains. While we were aware of the research potential of the portion of BB:13:15 to be excavated, we could not have predicted the impact it would have on those of us who worked on the project. A critical part of this project was the development and implementation of a preservation plan for the portions of BB:13:15 located on campus property. The archaeological excavations and research documented in this report were only one portion of a conditional clearance provided the college. That clearance included the following conditions. Once the archaeological excavations were completed, the college's use of the site area would not include future high-intensity land uses, such as the construction of buildings or grading to a depth of 2 ft or more below the undisturbed ground surface. If such high-intensity uses are proposed, it is expected — based on this agreement and endorsed by the State Historic Preservation Office and Pima County Community College —that additional consultation regarding the effects of those plans will be required with the State Historic Preservation Office. If a substantial area will be affected, additional data recovery would be expected to occur prior to construction.
