description: This report presents the results of archaeological monitoring of a project off West Portland Street. The monitoring was conducted at the request of the City of Phoenix Neighborhood Services Department under an on-call archaeological services contract between the City and SWCA, Inc. (Contract no. 101005). The project was assigned project number PGM 2002-11 by the City of Phoenix Archaeology Section. Archaeological monitoring was conducted during auguring and hand excavations at the site. Monitoring was required because the project lies within the boundaries of the prehistoric site known as Las Colinas (AZ T:12:10 [ASM]). Four tertiary flakes and a small ground stone artifact fragment were encountered during monitoring. The artifacts were isolated and found in soil that was previously disturbed. They were not associated with features and no intact subsurface features were observed during excavation. No known significant archaeological resources are likely to be adversely affected by construction associated with this project, no further work is recommended.
