description: Between November 29 and December 10, 2001, archaeologists from SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants (SWCA) conducted archaeological testing at Site AZ AA:12:232 (ASM), a prehistoric archaeological site known as the Cortaro Road Site in the Town of Marana, Pima County, Arizona. Archaeological testing was related to the construction of a business facility and was conducted at the request of Arizona Pavilions Development, Inc., in order to comply with the Town of Marana Grading Ordinance. Testing was designed to identify cultural resources that may be affected by the construction, and to evaluate any such cultural resources for significance as determined by their eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
