description: This report documents the findings of archaeological testing conducted for Bourn Partners as part of their due diligence assessment of approximately 60 acres of land. Archaeological testing was conducted by Desert Archaeology, Inc., between 25 July and 2 August 2005. A total of 18 person-days was spent on the field investigations by Sarah Herr, Greg Whitney, Richard Antone, and Sarah Luchetta. William H. Doelle, Ph.D., of Desert Archaeology, Inc., was the principal investigator. Cultural resource surveys conducted in 1937 and 2002 (Stephen 2002) recorded three Hohokam period artifact scatters on or near the 60-acre parcel under consideration—AZ AA:12:1 (ASM), AZ AA:12:2 (ASM), and AZ AA:12:5 (ASM). The goals of the current testing were to evaluate the potential for significant archaeological remains on the property. Testing confirmed the presence of three sites on the parcel, the original AA:12:1 and AA:12:2, and a historic-period canal, AZ AA:12:1011 (ASM). However, the sites were so severely impacted by late twentieth century land use that they no longer meet the significance and integrity criteria necessary to be considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. No excavation permits were required by the state, although by repository agreement, all artifacts and project records will be curated at the Arizona State Museum (ASM) under Accession Number 2005-688.
