description: The City of Phoenix’s (COP) Downtown Development Office plans to construct facilities related to the Phoenix Bioscience Center on COP-owned land in downtown Phoenix. The COP cost center number for the project is ED10000012. Because project activities may cause adverse impacts to subsurface cultural resources - both prehistoric and historic - the COP Parks and Recreation Department Pueblo Grande Museum (PGM), which coordinates archaeological projects for all COP departments (Bostwick 2004) requested that EcoPlan Associates, Inc. (EcoPlan) implement an archaeological testing program to inform the treatment of cultural resources in the project area. This COP-funded testing program is being conducted by EcoPlan under on-call contract number 117951 between the COP Parks and Recreation Department and EcoPlan. This testing program is intended to comply with the terms of the Arizona Antiquities Act (Arizona Revised Statutes [ARS] §41-841, el seq.), the Arizona Board of Regents Rules 8-201 through 8-207 as authorized by ARS §15-1631, and the COP Historic Preservation Ordinance. The testing area is located partially within the boundary of site AZ T: 12:70 (ASM) (hereafter, Pueblo Patricio); also, the testing area had been the location of several historic buildings, the surface components of which no longer exist. This preliminary report presents, in summary fashion, the results of archaeological testing within the project area.
