description: This document presents the results of archaeological testing, including mapping and surface collections, at two prehistoric sites, AZ U:1:128 (ASM) and AZ U:1:129 (ASM), in northern Scottsdale, Arizona. Previous archaeological work in a 480-acre parcel owned by Desert Mountain Properties, Inc. (Desert Mountain), included a survey (Bilsbarrow and Stone 1994) and a monitoring project (Hampson 1995). The testing project area includes the northern part of the original survey area. These sites are large, diffuse artifact scatters that probably date between A.D. 1000 and 1250 and likely are affiliated with the Hohokam culture. The sites may be related to larger habitation sites nearby, but the evidence collected during testing was minimal. Sherds and lithic artifacts from the sites indicated that they were used in limited activities such as plant processing and hunting, Based on the testing results, the sites do not appear to be eligible for inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places, and no further archaeological work is recommended.
