description: This report presents results of archaeological testing by Desert Archaeology, Inc., at two archaeological sites located on the proposed El Rancho Santa Rosa Residential Development near Maricopa, Arizona. The purpose of this work was to determine if the sites meet eligibility requirements for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. This activity was conducted at the request of Reeve &amp; Associates, Inc., to comply with Section 106 of the National Preservation Historic Act, as stipulated in the conditions of a Section 404 permit (Permit No. 2004- 01259-SDM) issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the development. Fieldwork began on 15 March 2005, and was completed in seven person-days, on 16 March 2005. A total of 201 m of trench was excavated at T:16:152, and 196 m of trench was excavated at T:16:153, providing an approximately 2 percent sample of the area of each site. The only archaeological feature discovered was a roasting pit of indeterminate age at T:16:152. The project findings indicate the sites do not contain culturally significant archaeological remains, and consequently, are not eligible for inclusion in the National Register. A recommendation is made that construction of the El Rancho Santa Rosa Development proceed as planned.
