description: Between October 20 and 23, 2004, archaeologists from EnviroSystems Management, Inc. (EnviroSystems) conducted a Class III cultural resources inventory of 1,568 acres of private land between Coolidge and Florence, Pinal County, Arizona. The 1,568 acres are part of a 3,260-acre parcel proposed for residential development (the remaining 1,692 acres were not examined during this project because 442 acres of the parcel were under cotton cultivation at the time of the inventory and the other 1,250 acres were surveyed for cultural resources between January and June of 2004). Because the development will require a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit from the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), the archaeological inventory was performed in support of the Section 404 permitting process. The cultural resources inventory resulted in the documentation of 6 previously unidentified archaeological sites and 22 isolated occurrences of cultural materials. In addition, 20 previously recorded sites have been identified in the 3,260-acre project area. Addendum to original report also included. In December 2004, cotton was harvested from the 442 acres and the ground visibility became sufficient for cultural resources examination. Consequently, EnviroSystems inventoried the additional 442 acres on January 19, 2005. Two isolated occurrences (IOs) were identified during the additional inventory.
