Concurrent with the construction of the Project was the implementation of a Historic Properties Treatment Plan (HPTP) (Hesse 2014a) for the 25 historic properties (i.e., cultural properties eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places [NRHP]) that had been identified in or within 50 feet of the Project area of potential effects (APE). Some form of treatment was proposed for all of the historic properties to avoid and minimize the Project's effects on eligible properties, and to mitigate the adverse effects on eligible properties where avoidance was not feasible. Treatment techniques designed to avoid and/or minimize effects included necking the width of the construction corridor, fencing, construction of the pipeline by boring and installing it beneath sites, construction monitoring, and the implementation of construction safeguards along access roads through sites ("road treatment"). Treatment designed to mitigate adverse effects where avoidance was not feasible involved data recovery excavation. Tribal monitors from the San Xavier District of the Tohono O'odham Nation assisted archaeological monitors in the implementation of the HPTP. Unanticipated discoveries during the Project led to the documentation of four new archaeological sites and an extension of the boundaries of a previously recorded archaeological site (AZ DD:6:80 [ASM]) within the APE. The four sites were all determined NRHP eligible and added to the list of sites requiring some form of treatment. The pipeline was placed in service on October 31, 2014. Monitoring of cleanup and r [...]

The first step in identifying archaeological sites was a cultural resources survey, conducted by SWCA Environmental Consultants in 2009. Although no archaeological sites were found during the survey, much of the study area was inaccessible due to development or lack of right-of-entry; given that the area is known to contain buried cultural resources not visible on the ground surface, SWCA had recommended identification testing prior to construction. In 2014, COT contracted SWCA to conduct the site identification testing for the current Road Improvement Project. The testing entailed a program of backhoe trenching within the APE. Most of the trenches were excavated to 1.5 meters (m) (5 feet) below modern ground surface (bmgs), and in areas sus...

A Class III archaeological inventory of the project area was conducted by Stephen (2000), and three prehistoric archaeological sites—AZ BB:9:353 (ASM), AZ BB:9:354 (ASM), and AZ BB:9:354 (ASM)— were identified within the area of potential effects (APE) of what is now designated as the Meritage Kai 291 South project. AZ BB:9:354 (ASM) was tested in 2004 by the Pima Community College Archaeology Centre (PCCAC) for its eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places/Arizona Register of Historic Places (NRHP/ARHP). The site was identified as a limited-activity area with no evidence of habitation, storage or resource processing, and limited potential for significant subsurface deposits; it was recommended ineligible for listing in the NRHP/ARHP (Kehres 2007). The PCCAC conducted another survey of the project area in 2014 to relocat...

This article examines the Aliens' collection of objects made by the Paipai of Baja California, particularly the pottery, donated by Ethel Allen to the Arizona State Museum (ASM) in Tucson. The Paipai are a Yuman-speaking people who today live in and around the village of Santa Catarina, which is about eighty miles south southwest of Calexico/Mexicali. The village is associated with the former Dominican mission of Santa Catarina (or Santa Catalina) de los Yumas, established in 1797 and destroyed in 1840 by a native revolt (Meigs 1935). The Paipai are linguistically related to the Kiliwa just to the south of them, the Ipai and Tipai (Kamia/Kumeyaay) in southern California and northwestern Baja, the Cocopa on the Colorado River delta, and the Arizona Pai groups (the Hualapai, Havasupai, and Yavapai) (see maps in Luomala 1978:fig. 1 and Owen 1969:fig. 1). The people referred to today as Paipai are actually an amalgam of what were formerly two separate groups, one of which spoke Paipai, the other Kuad, another Yuman language (Wilken 1987:19). Anthropologist Roger Owen stated, "It seems likely that Santa Catarina was originally a Kuatl settlement to which Paipai were brought by the missionaries. All of the remembered Kuatl rancher?as were around and to the north of

Even under the best of circumstances, the nature of the materials used in many of these specimens leads to early deterioration. This natural tendency is further exacerbated by crowded storage conditions, fluctuations in temperature and humidity, and susceptibility to devastating insect infestations. All of these conditions were slowly destroying a collection of native American ethnographic objects curated at the University of California, Davis, Department of Anthropology. Special funds were obtained from the National Science Foundation's Systematic Anthropology Collections Division to renovate the curation of the C. Hart Merriam Ethnographic Collection. This report details the problems encountered and the preventative conservation measures taken to protect the collection in the future.

The realigned road would cross through two previously investigated archaeological sites—AZ AA:12:11 (ASM) and AZ AA:12:788 (ASM), the latter more commonly known as the Rillito Fan site. Pima County Office of Sustainability and Conservation retained SWCA Environmental Consultants to develop and implement a Phase 1 data recovery (data testing) plan for the portions of these two sites that would be affected by the road construction. The purpose of data testing was to locate and identify the archaeological features and deposits that would be adversely affected by the road construction, and to provide the baseline archaeological and geomorphological data that would guide more intensive Phase 2 data recovery excavations. Phase 1 data recovery included the surface collection of culturally or temporally diagnostic or unusual artifacts, and the mechanical excavation of test trenches. Twent...

One recorded site, AZ BB:9:262/338 (ASM), is located in the northeastern portion of the proposed Kai 291 North project area. Lucas (2014) recommended that the site be tested for its eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historical Places (NRHP). The Town required that Meritage assess the eligibility of the site and include the results in its Mitigation Plan as part of its Planned Area Development Plan. This report presents the results of the site eligibility testing conducted by SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA), and recommendations for future management of the site.
