description: The City of Phoenix requested that archaeological work be conducted at the location of the proposed Coral Pointe Apartments Project in Phoenix. The Project is on private property but will receive federal funding so the effects of this undertaking on cultural resources must be considered to comply with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. According to the City of Phoenix archaeological site files, several prehistoric canals cross the area of potential effect (APE). The City required testing of this parcel and determined that this work could be done under the existing City-approved Plan, entitled “General Cultural Resources Testing Plan for the City of Phoenix Projects that Involve Prehistoric Canals with the City of Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona” (Stubing and Turner 2007). Subsequent data recovery was conducted under an existing City-approved Plan, entitled “General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Projects within the Boundaries of the City of Phoenix, Arizona” (Montero et al. 2008). Archaeological investigations in the project area included 675 linear meters of backhoe trenches and 620 sq m of mechanically stripped areas. Forty one features were identified that included field houses, pits, and canals. Preliminary examination of the pottery from this site, AZ T:12:395 (ASM), suggests that it dates to the late Gila Butte and early Santa Cruz phases of the Hohokam Colonial period around A.D. 750-850. The excavations conducted at the site have mitigated the impacts to it by the proposed project and no further work is recommended. Artifact and other sample analyses are in progress and will be included in the final report.
