description: At the request of the Indian-Oasis Baboquivari Unified School District, Desert Archaeology conducted fieldwork on June 29, 1994, to recover data from archaeological site AZ DD:1:82 (ASM). This archaeological site, along with two others—AZ DD:1:81 (ASM) and AZ DD:1:83 (ASM)—was discovered during survey of a proposed area for an intermediate school, a lagoon, and a sewerline north of the community of Topawa, on the Tohono O'odham Reservation (Bayman 1993a). Based on the original survey, it was concluded that all three of these archaeological sites were potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places under significance criterion D (Bayman 1993a). Because construction and operation of the proposed intermediate school and lagoon were expected to either destroy or seriously impact each of the three sites, it was recommended that a data recovery program be implemented at each site if an alternative location could not be selected (Bayman 1993a). Sites AZ DD:1:81 (ASM) and AZ DD:1:83 (ASM) are in the general location of the proposed school, and data recovery was undertaken in June of 1993, prior to the current project (Bayman 1993b). This follow-up report presents the results of data recovery at the third site, AZ DD:1:82 (ASM). This additional data recovery was deemed necessary since the location of the proposed lagoon would impact this third site. Data recovery was conducted by archaeologist James Bayman, with the assistance of John Antone, both employees of Desert Archaeology. This report summarizes the project area environment and archaeological background, and the methods and results of the data recovery program carried out at site AZ DD:1:82 (ASM) for the Indian Oasis-Baboquivari Unified School District. Results of this project are interpreted in the context of data recovered from previous excavations at the other two sites.
