description: On March 1, 1989, Dr. David Doyel and Todd Bostwick of the City of Phoenix Archaeology Division were accompanied by Park Ranger David Stamper on an inspection of an archaeological site located on Shaw Butte in northern Phoenix. This field trip was requested by Sarah Hall-Jara, North Mountain Park Manager, in order to evaluate a site which is present within the boundaries of the City of Phoenix North Phoenix Mountains Preserve. Because the mountain preserve is a popular place for hiking by local citizens, the archaeological site could potentially be impacted by increased use and development of the park. Therefore, the City Archaeology Division was asked to determine if the site is prehistoric, and to make recommendations concerning the study and protection of the site. In addition to the field inspection, records on file at Pueblo Grande Museum and the Department of Anthropology at Arizona State University (ASU) were examined for any information that had been recorded previously for the site. The results of the field inspection and records check, as well as a discussion of the possible functions of the site, are presented in the following report. This is a draft report.
