description: The UMOM Additional Testing Project is located in Phoenix. The UMOM development project is a multi-phased development project that began in 2009 and involves the acquisition of property, the demolition of existing buildings, and the construction of multi-family housing and associated amenities. The project is on private property, but has received federal funding from Housing and Urban Development (HUD), so the effects of this undertaking on cultural resources have been considered in order to comply with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Because the project is located within the City of Phoenix, the UMOM archaeological investigations have been conducted under the City of Phoenix’s Programmatic Agreement with HUD. This report describes the results of Phase II of the UMOM archaeological testing project. The archaeological investigations at site AZ T:12:414(ASM) in the UMOM development resulted in the discovery of a small historic canal and an isolated, prehistoric field house. The historic canal may be a distribution canal for the historic Maricopa Canal located just north of the property. Although no artifacts were associated with the field house, it was C14-dated to the late Colonial-early Sedentary period (A.D. 880-1000).
