description: In September and October of 1995, a team of archaeologists from the Tucson office of SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants conducted testing operations at nine sites located on private lands at the mouth of Pima Canyon, north of Tucson, Arizona. The sites-AZ BB:9:227, 228, 229, 230, 232, 233, 234, 235, and 236 (ASM)--were originally recorded in 1987 during a survey conducted by SWCA (Seymour 1992). Testing was done according to a SHPO-approved plan of work submitted in July, 1995. The work was done at the request of Mr. Mark Weinberg of Foothills Resort Properties, the owner of the property. Although the work was conducted on private lands, it was done under a job-specific permit issued by the Arizona State Museum (No. 1995-lOOps). The plan of work was formulated by Mark C. Slaughter of SWCA, who served as principal investigator and project manager. The field crew consisted of David Doak (field director), Morgan Rieder (assistant field director), Geri Antone, James Wadsworth, Rick Ward, and Alex Valdeviezo, all of SWCA. This document is divided into two parts. In Part I there is a discussion of what was done during the testing operation and a capsule summary of the findings. In Part II there is a research design and a plan for further work to be done at two of the sites.
