description: This document presents the results of archaeological monitoring in advance of Sun State Builder’s (Sun State) anticipated construction of warehouse facilities within an L-shaped area. This project area is situated within a Hohokam village habitation site with a known platform mound. The project area also encompasses a historic residential property that has not been evaluated for National Registry of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility. The project involved excavation (mechanical grading and scraping) for construction of foundation columns, retention basins, a loading dock, and a parking lot. Logan Simpson documented 10 features and a variety of prehistoric and historic period artifacts from disturbed secondary depositional contexts. All features were exposed and recorded in plan only: trench excavations were not implemented, and so features were not exposed in profile. In general, features could only be partially exposed during mechanical grading, and the lower portions of seven deeply buried features (Features 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10) are preserved beneath the base of the graded area. The prehistoric features and artifacts observed within the project area are not recommended as contributing to the overall eligibility of the prehistoric Hohokam site AZ T:12:116(ASM) under Criterion D. Given the heavily disturbed contexts of the features, Logan Simpson recommends that detailed investigation of exposed portions of the four truncated and partially intact prehistoric features within the project area would not have yielded new or significant information about AZ T:12:116(ASM). Logan Simpson further recommends that detailed investigation of the six disturbed historic period features would not have yielded new or significant information about historic occupation and development in west Phoenix. Consequently, no further investigations are recommended within the project area.
