description: Over the next several years, State Route 260 (S.R. 260) from Payson, Arizona to Heber, Arizona will be realigned and improved by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). This includes the construction of 45.8 mi of highway between Mileposts (MP) 256.2 and 302. Archaeological sites are found only in the western 22 mi of highway below the Mogollon Rim. Archaeological data recovery has been completed for the Preacher Canyon (Herr, Stein, and Cook 2000) and Christopher Creek segments (Herr and Stein 2000). Work associated with the highway improvement includes campground construction by the Tonto National Forest (TNF). Archaeological data recovery at Sharp Creek campground, in the vicinity of the Christopher Creek construction segment, has also been completed. This report presents the results of testing in the third construction segment, Kohls Ranch, as well as a plan for data recovery at sites deemed eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
