description: The purpose of this study was to project the levels of archaeological and historical sensitivity and determine relative levels of impacts that could potentially occur with the introduction of the proposed Mead to Phoenix ±500kV DC Transmission Line. The results of the regional study, conducted from July through September of 1982, identifies previously recorded archaeological and historical sites, predicts areas where encountering sites are probable and establishes criteria to determine the sensitivity of known and predicted cultural resources. The information compiled was of sufficient detail for the purpose of siting alternative routing corridors. Between December 1982 and March 1983, the cultural resources data relevant to two-mile-wide study corridors were refined and an impact assessment was conducted. Fieldwork was performed in January 1983. Although large areas within the study area appear to lack organized sets of cultural remains, discrete areas within the region contain abundant evidence of thousands of years of organized human adaptation. The most perceptible evidence of this adaptation, that enduring in the archaeological record, is largely organized with respect to the resources, biotic and other, distributed throughout the region. During prehistoric time, prior to the introduction of agriculture from Mexico and perhaps through the early Hohokam period, an archaic lifeway prevailed throughout the region. Among the later native inhabitants, there existed a basic dichotomy between hunting/gathering and agricultural adaptational modes. Agriculture was practiced most intensely along the Colorado River, along the Agua Fria River, in the plateau country north of present day Bagdad, to a lesser extent in areas along the Big Sandy River and at springs in the Black Mountains. The majority or remaining portion of the study area served as a source of natural resources.
