description: This volume presents data from large-scale archaeological excavations at the prehistoric site of Las Capas, AZ AA:12:111 (ASM). Data recovery was conducted by Desert Archaeology, Inc. and included investigations at both the site itself and a well-developed associated canal, AZ AA:12:753 (ASM), and agricultural field system. An Arizona Antiquities Act permit was obtained, as Pima County, the sponsoring agency, is a subdivision of the state and, as such, is subject to the Arizona Antiquites Act. The fieldwork was conducted and the report written according to Arizona Antiquites Act standards.
