2 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE August 1995 James E. Ayres

The fiscal year 1994-1995 report of the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission (AHAC) provides an overview of Commission activities and, most importantly, summarizes "the performance of state agencies in their historic preservation activities . . . " and programs as required by A.RS. 41-1352. This annual report makes it abundantly clear that the past year was one characterized by the outstanding efforts of numerous individuals, departments, and agencies responsible for various aspects of the broad subject of history and historic preservation in the State of Arizona. These entities are responsible for promoting, teaching, and researching the history of Arizona and protecting and preserving its historic resources.

During the course of the past fiscal year, the Commission exercised its mandate to offer advice and counsel to the legislature and to state departments and agencies. It commented on a wide variety of historic preservation issues, including several bills before the legislature. The Chair made a presentation to a House committee in support of HB 2061, a bill that included AHAC as a member of the Legislative Governmental Mall Commission, which is now codified under A.RS. 41-1361.

Additionally, AHAC continued to assist the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) with its Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (!STEA) program of transportation enhancement funding by having a member serve on the proposal review committee. The Commission has a strong interest in the ADOT process for providing matching grants for enhancement projects throughout Arizona. Among other, these grants may be awarded to worthy historic preservation projects. Several projects, covering a wide array of subjects, have been selected for funding over the three-year existence of the program.

Also of significance was the inclusion of the Chairman of AHAC as a member of the Arizona State Land Department's (ASLD) interim study committee to review the cultural resource compliance process as it applies to state trust lands (Laws 1995, Chapter 91, Section 2) . Preparation of this, our 14th annual report, was made possible by the reporting efforts of state departments and agencies, organizations, commission members, and other individuals. The indispensable support during this fiscal year of Arlene Bansal, Director of the Arizona Department of Library, Archives and Public Records, is gratefully acknowledged. The direct responsibility for compiling this report fell to Leslie Anderson, who serves as the Commission's secretary, meeting organizer, and in many other essential capacities. Her outstanding efforts on our behalf are immensely appreciated.

Former Commission member Robert Giebner of Tucson, a pioneer in the historic preservation movement in Arizona, succumbed to illness in November 1994. His numerous contributions will continue to have an impact on all of us for many years to come.

6 ARCHAEOLOGY ADVISORY COMMISSION Reported by Ed Riggs and Judy Brunson-Hadley

Chair's Message

The Commission has undertaken a number of new projects while continuing its efforts on important existing projects such as the annual Arizona Archaeology Awareness Month and the Site Steward Program.

The Archaeology Awareness Month activities in March 1995 were well attended; and the Archaeology Fair held at the Tubae Presidio State Historic Park was very popular. Planning for Archaeology Month has become a year-round event. As soon as the booths were taken down for the 1995 fair, then planning meetings for the next year's events, to be held at Pueblo Grande Museum, were started. The size of the fair is becoming larger every year, as word of the event has spread.

The Site Steward Program continues to grow as more people become aware of this model program and offer to become volunteers. With almost 500 volunteers monitoring cultural resource sites statewide for vandalism, it is the largest such program in the United States.

The Tribal Preservation Symposium in the previous March was well received and generated a great deal of interest in a second meeting focusing on Traditional Cultural Properties. In cooperation with the Intertribal Council of Arizona, a second meeting was held in February 1995 with an attendance of over 100 people and representatives from 13 tribes. At the request of the tribes, another conference is being planned now. In addition, the SHPO Tribal Internship Program is proceeding. The program offers Native American students an opportunity to work with the SHPO staff and learn more about the compliance process and other SHPO duties.

A new challenge undertaken by the Commission in fiscal year 1994-1995 is to prepare guide­ lines to assist in the development of historic and prehistoric resources as heritage interpreta­ tion sites. Increased recognition of cultural tourism as an important economic resource has placed emphasis on the importance of the Commission's involvement in this area. The guide­ lines are being prepared in cooperation with representatives from federal and state agencies, educational institutions, and the private sector.

The Commission continues to be involved in numerous activities, including current planning for identifying our goals for the next three-year plan. The Commission's Sunset Review was quite favorable, and the Commission has been extended for another 10 years.

Arizona's Volunteer Site Steward Program The Arizona Steward Program is an organization of volunteers, sponsored by the public land managers of Arizona and the Hopi Tribe. Members of the Steward Program are selected, trained, and certified by the SHPO and the Archaeology Advisory Commission. The chief objective of the Steward Program is to help prevent destruction of prehistoric and historic archaeological sites in Arizona through site monitoring. As the Program moves into its seventh year, the Archaelogy Advisory Commission has seen it grow from the 200 volunteers at the end of 1989 to over 450 Stewards at the end of 1994, with an additional 90 candidates waiting to be trained and certified. The two-day annual 1994-95 Site Steward Conference, attended by approximately 80 Site Stewards and land managers was held in Sedona, Arizona on May 20-21. The current Chair of the Archaeology Advisory Commission, Judy Brunson-Hadley gave the welcoming address, followed by a representative of the Haulapai Cultural Resource Office, Ronald Susanyatamea, who spoke of the tribe's struggle to save certain sites that have special meaning to the tribe. Rick Moore from the Grand Canyon Trust spoke about site vandalism on the 8 Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona. Professional photographers, Kent Keller and Smoky Wolfe, provided training in using photography to set up baseline data on archaeological sites and explained the procedures that investigative photographers must use to produce court permissible photographs. Field training was scheduled for the second day of the conference, with staff from the Coconino National Forest providing the training in crime scene management, site monitoring, rock art documentation, and vandalism associated with the Traditional Cultural Places of Arizona's First Americans.

This year, in addition to planning the semi-annual Regional Coordinators' Meetings, editing the quarterly newsletter the Arizona WATCH, and organizing the annual conference, the State Program Coordinator is working with the Bureau of Land Management to develop two training videos for new stewards-one which can be used to introduce the Site Steward Program to groups interested in knowing more about what the program is all about and one combining observation and safety techniques with crime scene management training.

On the regional level, in addition to their regular site monitoring, Tucson Site Stewards have received regional training in rock art mapping under the tutelage of Arizona State Museum archaeologist, John Madsen and, in April, participated in the Catalina State Park's Annual Arts and Heritage Day. Stewards in Sierra Vista are getting involved with patrolling paleontological sites along the San Pedro riparian area under the direction of the Bureau of Land Management. They also participated in the "Amazing Arizona Festival" in April, to encourage locals to volunteer as Site Stewards. The Regional Coordinator for the Salt River Region has been busy working with various land managers at acquiring new sites for her growing number of stewards to monitor, and also participated in the Bartlett Lake Conservation and Clean Up Day in April. The Arizona Strip Region north of the Grand Canyon has been busy recruiting Civil Air Patrol members into the program. Six new stewards, who work as cowboys for the Horseshoe Ranch off of Bloody Basin Road, will be monitoring sites in the Perry Mesa area along the Agua Fria River. In addition, the Sisters from the Santa Rita Abbey in Sonoita were trained as stewards to monitor several sites located on and near their abbey. After the discovery of a mastodon in the Prescott National Forest, Prescott Site Stewards provided around-the-clock monitoring until the Forest Service could excavate the bones and provide better protection for the site. New stewards have been trained in Sedona, Cottonwood, Tucson, Flagstaff, and many other communities throughout the state in the past year.

The spirit and resolve of the Site Stewards in preserving and protecting Arizona's cultural resources is steadily growing in communities across the state and is an example to other states are interested in developing similar programs. Gail Van Moorleghem, with the Utah Rock Art Research Association had this to say about Arizona's unique program at the International Rock Art Conference in Flagstaff: "It was amazing to hear the Arizona Land Mangers repeat over and over how valuable the Arizona Site Steward Program is to them." In May, a representative from the New Mexico State Historic Office, Glenna Dean, flew to Arizona to attend the conference so she could report to her staff how the operations of the Arizona program is funded and organized. Every week, the State Program Coordinator, Mary Estes, receives calls from agencies all across the country asking questions and wanting materials about Arizona's Site Steward Program.

9 ARIZONA COMMISSION ON THE ARTS Reported by Shelley Cohn

The Arizona Commission on the Arts is the designated agency of state government responsible for promoting and supporting the arts. Within the Commission's mission are specific programs and projects which interface with the goals of the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission (AHAC). Following is a summary of the projects that have taken place during the last year that complement the goals of AHAC. In August 1992, the state purchased the historic Corpstein Duplex as the permanent home for the Arizona Commission on the Arts. Tribal Museums Program In July 1989, the Arizona Commission on the Arts received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to develop a technical assistance program for tribal museums statewide. Since that time, the Commission has convened quarterly meetings for staffs of Arizona's growing tribal museum community. Attendance averages 40-50 participants and the meetings cover issues of cultural preservation and include technical assistance workshops on tribal museum development. A second National Endowment for the Arts grant provides financial support for museum staff and projects. Two projects are in the planning stages: a gathering of state basket weavers and a storytelling project. Arizona: The Look of Communities is a program that offers matching grants for projects that support visual quality planning and design. Projects supported have included: • City of Williams-design and fabrication of a "western gateway to the community" • Town of Queen Creek-a plan to enhance their urban trails system with public art amenities • Yoemem Tekia Foundation-design for a cultural center for the Pasqua Yaqui Tribe Heritage Tourism Guide, Arizona Legacy, in cooperation with the Arizona Capitol Museum and the Arizona Office of Tourism, planned and produced a state heritage tourism guide. The directory is being distributed by Arizona Highways and the Arizona Office of Tourism. A second printing is planned. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 mandates the set­ aside of federal funding for enhancement activities, including non-motorized transportation facilities and scenic and historic preservation. The Arizona Commission on the Arts staff distributed guidelines and information about the program and provided technical assistance to communities considering application. The Arizona Commission on the Arts has a seat on ADOT's committee which reviews proposals for enhancement projects and makes funding recommendations to the State Transportation Board. The first two rounds of funding resulted in 32 enhancement projects with funding of $9.5 million. Eighteen of these projects have cultural components including public art and adaptive re-use of historic transportation buildings for cultural uses. Museum Environment Test Kit The newly equipped museum test kit has up-to-date equipment for museums and exhibition facilities to check the ultra-violet light, humidity, and other environmental forces in their facilities. It is available for a small fee. ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION GENERAL SERVICES DIVISION Construction Services Section Reported by John Webster

Two buildings had repair and/or restoration work done during fiscal year 1994-1995 and ADOA Construction Services worked with the State Historic Preservation Office to insure that the work was appropriate for the continued preservation of the historic structure. The two buildings are: • Department of Agriculture Building at 1688 West Adams was refurbished and AOOA Construction Services worked with the State Historic Preservation Office for advice and approval for historical restoration of various parts of the building. In particular the entrance and lobby including terrazzo floors, marble floors, wainscot, wood doors, chandeliers, light fixtures, wood trims, stairs, handrail, and plaster were restored. Corridors including rubber flooring, marble wainscot, wood doors, trim, and hardware; decorative brass and plaster were also restored. Additionally the second floor hearing room including wood paneling, cabinets, rubber floors, doors, and trim were restored. The remainder of the building was appropriately refurbished in a complementary treatment to enhance the restoration efforts. • Carnegie Library at 1101 West Washington had its leaking standing seam metal roof repaired by ADOA Construction Services working with the State Historic Preservation Office to review and approve the construction documents for this project. The solution chosen was predicated on preserving the historic integrity of the building. The existing metal roof was coated with a liquid roofing membrane, which conforms to the existing metal seams and details.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Reported by Steven Schaefer

The Arizona Department of Commerce continues to work closely with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and local preservation organizations through the Arizona Main Street Program. In fiscal year 1994-1995, the following activities took place: 1. Main Street, in cooperation with the SHPO, continued to assist property owners with Heritage Fund grants. This year, in addition to five commercial building grants, Main Street itself received funding to conduct a study "Community Involvement in Historic Preservation - A Sense of Place." This study is intended to focus on how preservation issues are addressed locally, and what factors need to be addressed to encourage local preservation. 2. Main Street assisted eight local projects with $5000 grants from the Heritage Fund: • Weatherford Hotel, Flagstaff • Velasco Building, Flagstaff • Aspen Building, Flagstaff • Aronson Building, Flagstaff

11 • Levitan Building, Flagstaff • Coconino County Courthouse, Flagstaff • Cowen Building, Williams • Bowden Building, Williams The total amount from the grant fund was $44,250 for the above projects. 3. Main Street and the SHPO continued to work closely on the Certified Local Government Program (CLG). Through joint meetings and increased education, the majority of Main Street communities are CLGs. 4. Main Street, the SHPO, and the Arizona Preservation Foundation stage the Annual Governors Awards for Historic Preservation in downtown Phoenix. These awards recognize the achievements in historic preservation throughout the state. The state and local Main Street programs have been instrumental in the preservation and utilization of many historic buildings this year, including: • The train depot in Flagstaff • The Coconino County Courthouse in Flagstaff • The "Corral" building in Parker • The Silver King Hotel in Florence • The old jail house in Cottonwood More than 25 other historic buildings were assisted through the Main Street program in fiscal year 1994-1995. This work not only maintains the individual character of the local community, but also ensures the preservation of the history of rural Arizona. This history can serve as the catalyst for economic development.

Listed in the Arizona and National Register of Places on April 13, 1977. The building was built in 1916 in the Neo­ Classical Style of local granite blocks (1916 photograph).

12 ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY Reported by Neal Young The Department of Economic Security (DES) is committed to ensuring strict adherence to the State preservation law for all activities related to the management of all owned properties. During state fiscal year 1994-1995, DES coordinated the assessment of its property located at 38th Street and East McDowell Road, Phoenix, Arizona with the State Historical Preservation Office. No buried archaeological remains were found, but the shards of pottery which were observed indicated that the area was used during the Hohokam Classic Period (A.O. 1150 to 1450).

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY AND MILITARY AFFAIRS Reported by James A. Moye The Department of Emergency and Military Affairs is involved in projects to discover and protect the cultural sites on land used to maintain the combat skills of our National Guard troops. Work on these projects is done in cooperation with the State Historic Preservation Officer.

Papago Park Military Reservation

The Department of Emergency and Military Affairs provides space on Papago Park Military Reservation, in Phoenix, to the Arizona National Guard Historical Society for the Arizona Military Museum. The Museum is recognized by the Department of Army Center for Military History in Washington D.C. The Museum, which is maintained and operated by volunteer members of the Society, contains artifacts from the Conquistador period to Desert Storm. The Museum is open to the public, free of charge, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. It is located at 5636 East McDowell Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85008.

Florence Military Reservation

In an effort to protect the natural resources in the areas used for training National Guard troops, it is necessary to change locations periodically to allow the habitat to recover. Last year the National Guard had selected nine new sites for training on Florence Military Reservation. Three of these sites have been eliminated as possible training sites as a result of the archaeology surveys done in 1994. A recovery plan has been completed and mitigation of the remaining six sites is scheduled to begin August 24, 1995 with data recovery field work. As funds become available, the Department of Emergency and Military Affairs will contract for a Cultural Resources Management Plan for the Military Reservation. Archaeological and biological surveys have been completed on training areas in the southern portion of the reservation. The results will be incorporated in the Florence Military Reservation Environmental Assessment due for publication in 1996.

13 Camp Navajo Formerly Navajo Depot Activity

The Ethnographic and Historical Building surveys contracted by the Department of Emergency and Military Affairs have been completed and accepted by the State Historic Preservation Officer. The archaeology surveys of the two major areas of the facility, the area used for training (Buffer Zone) and the interior storage (Limited) area, are about 50 percent completed. Information collected in these surveys will be included in the Facility Cultural Resources Management Plan. Archaeology surveys have been completed on smaller training areas inside the Buffer Zone. The completed surveys are for the Indian Village, Tappen Springs, and Mickle Tank. Western Army Aviation Training Site (WAATS) Extreme Northeast Comer Barry M. Goldwater Range The Department of Emergency and Military Affairs is continuing the cultural work required for development of the WAATS Training Area Environmental Impact Statement. This training area covers some 3,600 square miles of southern Arizona, including the 90,000 acre WAATS gunnery range on the Goldwater Range.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF LIBRARY, ARCHIVES AND PUBLIC RECORDS Museum Division Reported by Michael D. Carman The Museum Division operations in both the historic State Capitol building and the Arizona Hall of Fame Museum in the restored Carnegie Public Library provided programs for a total of 81,722 visitors this year. Visitation increased slightly by 3,012 visitors over fiscal year 1994- 1995 levels. The number of tours that the Museum Division provide continues to decrease because of the shorter legislative sessions in recent years. The Museum Division has been able to increase the numbers of self-guided visitors to offset the loss of school tours and continues to expand its service to the public. The short-term roof coating for the Arizona Hall of Fame Museum was completed after several delays and it seems to be holding up well. The next step for that building is to undertake repair and correction of sub-roof problems and to reinstall stone work on the parapet over the front door when additional funds are available. The second of a three phase roof repair project for the State Capitol Museum building has been completed. Workmen completed the repair of parapet walls on the back of the old Capitol building to eliminate leaks that have damaged plaster and woodwork over both stair wells. The first phase of this effort was resealing the light fixtures on the dome. The project will be complete when repairs to skylights and clerestory windows are finished in early fiscal year 1994- 1995.

14 The Museum Division has also completed the first phase of work authorized under the 1994 Heritage Fund Grant. A new fire detection and alarm system for the State Capitol Museum has been designed and approved. Funding for installation is not covered in the grant but is expected in early fiscal year 1994-1995. The Museum Division has also received a proposal for assessment of the overall condition of the old Capitol building in preparation for funding requests to prepare the structure for its centennial. This report is expected in the fall of 1995 and will complete the Heritage Fund grant. Fred Haroey and the Haroey Girls and Healers, Hucksters and Heroes exhibits continue in the two main exhibit areas at the Arizona Hall of Fame Museum. Much of the exhibit activities continue to be focused on the State Capitol with more changing exhibits in the main floor halls and two exciting new exhibits on the second floor. The Museum Division has an exhibit on state symbols in one end of the old Territorial Library designed to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and an exhibit on everyday life in the Arizona Territory in the other end of that room. The State Capitol Museum, the State Historic Preservation Office, and Arizona Public Service Company conducted the eighth annual photography contest and exhibit for Historic Preservation Week. The winning photographs, and runners-up, include many of the better known historic and archaeological sites in Arizona, and were on display at the Capitol Museum in the spring and early summer of 1995.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND MINERAL RESOURCES Reported by H. Mason Coggin

Activity involving historic preservation during fiscal year 1994-1995 by the Department of Mines and Mineral Resources included the following projects: The Boras Headframe, a historic mine hoisting platform and related equipment were salvaged from a site near Bisbee and moved to Phoenix where it is being preserved and restored to its original condition. It will be erected at the west end of Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum, the Polly Rosenbaum Building, at 1502 West Washington. The headframe is a 1915 structure that will be used to symbolize mining and explain how it has changed from the brute force technology at the turn-of-the-century to the high technology industry that it is today. It was donated to the Department by the Copper Queen Branch of the Phelps Dodge Corporation. The State Historic Preservation Office has matched funds and in-kind services and the headframe should be erected before the end of 1995. The Car Made From Rocks exhibit. The Department and the Museum have developed a program to demonstrate how society depends on minerals for its existence. The exhibit will be an assembly run automobile with an interpretation of how the various minerals that make up the car were mined and processed. The exhibit will travel around Arizona visiting schools, fairs, and social events. Funds are currently being raised for this exhibit and several events are scheduled for 1995 and 1996. The Museum and the Department had nearly 35,000 visitors in 1994 and over 13,000 of those visitors were school children in organized groups. The mission of the Department of Mines

15 and Mineral Resources includes dissemination of information about Arizona's mining heritage; the education of students and teachers in this area is one of its most important goals. In this regard, the Museum staff has gone into the field to assist the Arizona Mining Association in its summer program for classroom teachers, entitled Minerals in Society. Department personnel also serve as guest speakers to schools on the history of mining in Arizona.

The Department of Mines and Mineral Resources continues to maintain a collection of publications, maps, manuscripts and other pertinent information on Arizona Mines and Mineral Resources. During calendar year 1994, many writers and historical researchers made use of the Department's collections, as well as the traditional uses by miners, prospectors, geologists, and mining engineers.

The Department has worked in behalf of having the Orphan Mine site on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon added to the National Register of Historic Places.

New collections of maps, manuscripts, photographs, and mine reports acquired during 1994 include the Grover Heinricks Collection, the Roland Mulchay Collection, and the Kinnison Collection. The Department also received a significant collection of maps and information on the McCabe Mine and several important books and periodicals for the library. Cataloging of these collections continues and has a high priority. The Department is cataloging and preserving these documents for their technical content as well as their historical significance. The work is being done by a hard working and dedicated staff of volunteers. In this effort, the Department has received guidance from both the Department of Library, Archives and Public Records and the Arizona Historical Society. This collection of information has become one of the largest of its kind in the southwest.

The A. L. Flagg photo collection, which was donated to the Department last year, has been catalogued. Twenty-four out of the 2,000 photographs were enlarged to 16x20 prints, framed, and shown at the Finch Gallery in Phoenix. The photos are a great collection of life and industry in early Arizona and Mexico.

The Department has contributed to several historical conventions with speeches and exhibits, including the Mining History Association's annual convention in Nevada City, California. This coming year, Department personnel and volunteers will join with mining companies, contestants, mining industry suppliers, the State Mine Inspector and the Arizona Lottery to hold the first ever National Team Mining Competition at the Arizona State Fair. This competition will bring back a century old tradition while explaining the growth of the mining industry and its development into high technology over the last century.

Other scheduled historic events include participation in the History of Mining in Arizona Symposium and the Arizona Mineral Symposium to be held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Society of Mining Engineers in Phoenix.

Santa Cruz Church,Tucson, Pima County Courtesy, Department of Library, Archives and Public Records ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Reported by Leroy Brady Archaeological and historic property surveys for all proposed highway undertakings continue to be coordinated for projects throughout the State. The volume of work steadily increases each year. All reports are processed by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) through the State Historic Preservation Office in compliance with state and federal laws. Projects are coordinated with other state and federal agencies, as appropriate. Archaeological date recovery has been completed along all three sections of the State Route 188 project, Sycamore Creek, Slate Creek, and Punkin Center. Data recovery for the first four segments of the State Route 87 project between Saguaro Lake Road and Sycamore Creek has been completed. Data recovery continues along the remaining segments, through the Gila County line. Data recovery also continues along State route 69 between Cordes Junction and Mayer. Additional sections of the Interstate 10 frontage road projects are being investigated. Deeply buried, and unique Archaic Period deposits are being excavated. Data recovery is scheduled to begin at portions of the Grewe Site near Casa Grande that will be impacted by the proposed reconstruction of State Route 287. Final reports have been produced for the Hohokam Freeway Project, the McDowell Road to Shea Boulevard State Route 87 Project, and the State Route 98 Realignment Project. The Parkways, Historic and Scenic Roads Advisory Committee continued its review of applications for the designation of roadways in Arizona. The designated portions of old U.S. Route 66 were signed through the towns of Holbrook, Joseph City, Flagstaff, Winslow, Williams, Ashfork to Seligman, and Oatman to Golden Shores. U.S. 161, Kayenta to Utah State Line, and U.S. 89A, Bitter Springs to Fredonia, are under active consideration. 17 State Route 90, I-10 to Sierra Vista, was signed Buffalo Soldier Trail, as memorialized by the legislature.

ADOT has installed 315 information boards in rest areas throughout the state. These boards highlight the historic and scenic attractions of the area in which they are located. Separate boards highlight the history of Arizona railroads, mining, Native Americans, the old west, state parks, and public lands.

The ADOT office continues, through coordinations with the Department of Library, Archives and Public Records and the Arizona Historical Society, to approve the text for historic markers on Arizona highways.

ARIZONA GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT Reported by Duane L. Shroufe

The Arizona Game and Fish Department has no statutory authority over historical or archeological resources within the State, but it strives to preserve and protect those resources on their properties and when doing cooperative projects on private and public lands. The Department utilizes an Environmental Assessment Checklist on all activities which may impact the environment. Compliance with Executive Order 11593, Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment; PL 93-291, Archeological and Historic Preservation Act, 5-24-74; and CEQ Guidelines, Fed Register 43 (230), 11-29-78, Sect. 1508.8 are all considered within the checklist. If it is suspected that a project may affect an archaeological, historical, or cultural site, a review and clearance is requested from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). All applicants for Department grants are also required to comply with this process.

During fiscal year 1994-1995, the Department contracted with Tierra Right of Way Services, Ltd., for archeological assessments on two properties which were recently purchased by the Commission. These properties, Sipe White Mountain Wildlife Area and Wenima Wildlife Area, both located near Springerville, Arizona, have significant archeological and historical resources. Efforts will be made to preserve and protect these resources.

The Department was involved with 32 construction projects, 14 of them on Commission lands. Construction projects involved: a warehouse expansion, utilities expansions, a handicap access pier, and habitat enhancement projects, such as water delivery systems and fencing. All received cultural reviews, either by federal agency archaeologists, or contract archaeologists, and SHPO clearance.

Cultural Resources Office

The mission of the Cultural Resources Office is to help Arizona's local historical museums. The Arizona Historical Society's statutory based, professional-service-contract outreach program to local historical museums is the primary means to achieve this goal. This program fulfills the requirements A.RS. 41-821, H & I, which instructs the Arizona Historical Society (AHS) to designate, certify, and contract with local historical societies. Fifty not-for-profit local historical museums are now certified and therefore eligible for contracts. These contracts are meant to improve these organization's collections and to increase preservation and interpretation of local history. Consequently, these contracts contribute to and advance this agency's efforts to reach its mission to collect, preserve, and interpret all of Arizona's history. During this reporting year, the Cultural Resources Office conducted 10 consultation visits and issued 21 contracts for artifact, archival, and oral history preservation. This office also provided three presentations: in Parker on reorganization, in Casa Grande on You Are What You Collect, in Tucson for the Department of the Interior on identification and management of artifacts. It also gave a living history demonstration for the Yuma Crossing program. Additional activities by this office included updating and publishing the 1995 edition of the Official Directory-Arizona Historical Museums and Related Support Organizations. The Cultural Resources Manager is the State Chair for the American Association for State and Local History Awards Program and successfully nominated Marguerite Noble for an Award of Merit for her life's work on behalf of historical preservation and interpretation; she also received the Arizona Historical Society's Al Meri to award for her accomplishments. Other activities include the production of two historic markers ( Frank B. Garland Pioneer Home, Tombstone and Fort Valley, Flagstaff); providing research materials and consultation for AHS-Tempe Museum's opening exhibit Geronimo and the Chiricahua Experience to open in January 1996 and continued service on the Historic Sites Review Committee and the Parkways, Historic and Scenic Advisory Committee. Historic building preservation activities by this office include maintenance and repair of agency's Hubbell Trading Store (Winslow), American Flag Ranch (Oracle), and the Strawberry School House (Strawberry), and completion of the restoration of the Douglas-Williams House (Douglas).

Arizona Historical Society-Northern Arizona Division (Flagstaff)

A traveling exhibit on historic buildings in Flagstaff's south side was produced as a result of research the previous year and continued to travel to schools and other community locations.

In July of 1994, a 1929 Baldwin Articulated Locomotive, previously located at the Coconino County Fairgrounds, was moved onto the museum grounds. Arizona Department of Administration, Risk Management Division allocated the museum $9,500 for fencing and observation platforms. This project was completed and volunteers are working on restoring the appearance of the logging engine to its original appearance.

19 Renewal funds were made available for several projects for the preservation of the 1908 museum building. Three chimneys were taken down completely, to roof level, and rebuilt. Wall areas of the building where re-pointed and missing mortar replaced as needed. A drainage problem outside the back porch was modified to direct water away from the building and its foundation. The back steps of the museum were rebuilt to original appearance, and the 1967 wheelchair ramp on the front porch was removed and replaced with a more efficient ramp that allows better access to the museum and meets Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifications. All designs and materials were developed from JANUS Associates plans.

Arizona Historical Society-Central Arizona Division (Tempe)

The Central Arizona Division spent approximately $5,000 to repair the roof of the Ellis Shackelford house at 1242 North Central and to re-roof the Little House at 1218 North Central.

The Division also improved the air conditioning units and upgraded the kitchen flooring for the Shackelford house. This work was done in cooperation with the City of Phoenix Preservation Office.

The Publication Division staff were heavily involved in assembling the program and overseeing local arrangements for the joint Arizona-New Mexico Historical Convention. The Easter weekend event attracted 274 amateur and professional historians from both across the country for a full slate of papers and field trips. In addition, the Publications Division concluded a marketing agreement with the University of New Mexico Press to market and distribute two AHS books -Antrim is My Stepfather's Name: The Boyhood of Billy the Kid, by Jerry Weddle, and Constance WynnAltshuler's Cavalry Yellow and Infantry Blue. Several hundred attended the annual holiday book fair.

The Journal of Arizona History received 50 manuscript submissions, of which 23 were accepted for publication. The Journal published 15 articles and 77 book reviews. W. Lane Rogers', From Colonia Dublan to Binghampton: The Mormon Odyssey of Frederick, Nancy, and Amanda Williams (Spring 1994) won the C.L. SonnichsenAward for best article; Jeanie Marion, As Long as the Stone Lasts: General 0.0. Howard's 1872 Peace Conference (Summer 1994) won the James F. Williott II Award for best article by a non-professional historian.

The Publications Division published two books in fiscal year 1994-1995: Those Old Yellow-Dog Days: Frontier Journalism in Arizona, 1859-1912 by William H. Lyon; and The Red Captain: The Life of Hugo O'Conor. Commandant Inspector of the Interior Provinces of New Spain by Mark Santiago. The latter was published for the ABS-Tucson Museum Department to accompany an exhibit on the founder of the Tucson presidio. Partial funding for the book was provided

20 by the Tucson-Pima County Historical Commission. Meanwhile, two other book projects cleared the editorial process and are in production. Confederate Pathway to the Pacific: Major Sherod Hunter and Arizona Territory, C.S.A. is L. Boyd Finch's story of the Confederate officer who captured Tucson and of the Civil War in the Southwest. Before Rebellion: Letters and Reports ofJacobo Sedelmayr, S.J., translated by Daniel S. Matson, with an introduction and annotations by Bernard L. Fontana, is the previously unpublished letters of the Jesuit missionary to the Pimeria Alta on the eve of the Pima Revolt. The mission of the Publications Division has expanded to include responsibility for maintaining editorial standards of written materials for the Arizona Historical Society. In this regard, the Division has been engaged in editing exhibit text for the ABS-Tucson Education Department's Exploring 1870's Tucson, AHS Tempe Foundation and Agriculture galleries, and the Geronimo Exhibit.

There are a number of preservation-related projects in the Rio Colorado Division recently completed or currently in progress. Through a grant from SHPO, the Division was able to complete a structural and mechanical survey of the Century House Museum (an 1870's adobe with additions up through the 1940's). Now that necessary repairs have been recorded, the Division can begin to budget and seek grants for the Adobe Annex work. The largest project for the corning years is the rehabilitation of another 1870's adobe building, The Molina Block, for use as offices, collection storage, and public meeting space. 21 Each year, the Rio Colorado Division in Yuma puts up a new changing exhibit (this year an exhibit on the 50th Anniversary of the Yuma Rodeo). The Division also provides walking tours of Yuma's three historic districts, workshops or seminars on building or collection preservation, and conducts four tours a year to historic and archaeological sites. The annual Yuma Crossing Day Living History Program offers the public an opportunity to see history reenacted by characters from the 1540's through the 1940's. Staff provide living history reenactors for public programs and gives history-related slide shows. The past year, the Division contracted with the Yuma Proving Ground to conduct oral histories and collect archives to tell their history. The Division continues to collect artifacts and archives to process and help tell the story of the lower Colorado River area.

ARIZONA OFFICE OF TOURISM Reported by Leia James

The Arizona Office of Tourism leads our state's efforts to develop opportunities for heritage tourism. Currently, the Arizona Office of Tourism is working to help communities and attractions promote specific "cultural" itineraries from which visitors can plan a vacation that will take them across the state. Potential attractions include a large number of prehistoric and historic archaeological sites, Spanish missions, Old West historical locations, and a variety of historical museums. Many of these attractions already have been named among the top 25 most visited attractions in the state by the Arizona Business Journal.

In addition, the Arizona Office of Tourism promotes many historically-oriented events and activities in its Arizona Calendar of Events, including Arizona Archaeology Awareness Month scheduled for March, 1996. Not only does the Office use the calendar to promote these unique events, it also supports the efforts of the Arizona Historical Society and Arizona Historic Preservation Office by distributing literature about such events and attractions to potential visitors worldwide. ARIZONA PIONEERS' HOME Reported by Jeanine Dike

The Arizona Pioneers' Horne is a historic facility. Built in 1911, the building retains its historic features.

In February 1995, the nomination for the Pioneers' Horne was approved and the facility was placed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places.

August 1, 1995, the Pioneers' Horne applied to the State of Arizona for Heritage Funds to evaluate the facility for further exterior renovations and maintenance projects.

ARIZONA STATE LAND DEPARTMENT Reported by Kenneth C. Rozen The Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) controls 9.4 million acres of State Trust land that were granted to the state by the federal government when Arizona was admitted to the Union. These Trust lands are managed by the ASLD to produce revenues for state schools, as mandated 22 by federal law. Within this management context, ASLD's cultural resource management activities revolved around two major areas of concern; ensuring that ASLD's administration of Trust land is consistent with applicable state preservation laws, and promoting efforts to control damage to archaeological sites resulting inadvertently from unauthorized land use, or intentionally from criminal activity. Preservation Law Compliance Activities that ASLD permits on State Trust lands for the purposes of producing revenue for its Trust beneficiaries often have great potential to affect significant prehistoric and historic properties. Therefore, ASLD's most important activity relating to historic preservation is to administer a program in consultation with the State Historic Preservation Offfice (SHPO) to see that Trust lands are leased and sold in a manner that is consistent with the State Historic Preservation Act (SHPA). Key elements of this program are to review proposed land transactions for their potential to affect sites, to require field inventories prior to land sales and leases when warranted, and to develop means of preserving sites through avoidance or data recovery. Under the Arizona Antiquities Act (AAA), the Arizona State Museum (ASM) has authority to issue permits for archaeological studies on state land. Because ASM rules require that records of permitted studies be maintained by ASM, ASLD's cultural resource review program involves consultation with the ASM, as well as with SHPO. ASM Records Checks-To ensure that important sites are not inadvertently sold or damaged as a result of activities permitted under leases, ASLD first notifies ASM of the proposed land transaction, and requests a written recommendation regarding the need for a field inventory. Numbers of proposed state land use applications sent by ASLD to ASM for comment in Fiscal year 1994-1995, by land use and ASM recommendation, are summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Numbers of proposed state land use applications sent by ASLD to ASM for comment in fiscal year 1994-1995, by land use and ASM recommendation.

"Other" includes applications on which ASM recommendation is pending or irrelevant)

23 These data show that ASM recommended that field inventories be done in connection with slightly more than half of the proposed land transactions of which it was notified by ASLD, during fiscal year 1994-1995.

SHPO Consultation- In cases where ASM recommends surveys, ASLD requires that such inventories be done before the transaction is completed. The resulting survey reports, and if needed, data recovery plans and data recovery reports are reviewed by ASLD in consultation with SHPO. During fiscal year 1994-1995, ASLD provided written comment to SHPO on 218 cultural resource documents that were produced in connection with 159 proposed land transactions. The documents are listed in Table 2, by document type and proposed land use. Of the 159 proposed transactions, 102 (64 percent) involved no archaeological sites or other cultural resources, while cultural resources were discovered on the lands involved with the remaining 57 (36 percent) of the proposed transactions. In total, ASLD consulted with the SHPO regarding the treabnent of 315 archaeological sites or other cultural resources during fiscal year 1994-1995.

24 Interagency Activity

On seven occasions throughout fiscal year 1994-1995, ASLD met with the SHPO and ASM in the agencies' continuing efforts to develop a three-way Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to clarify cooperative procedures for reviewing cultural resource studies done on Trust land. Meetings in fiscal year 1994-1995 were on July 6, 1994; September 21, 1994; November 4, 1994; February 23, 1995; April 10 and 11, 1995; and May 17, 1995. By the last of these, the agencies had completed a draft agreement, and had developed a series of supporting attachments which establish mutually acceptable standards for performing and reporting cultural resource investigations on all state land, including State Trust land. The ASLD met with Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), and SHPO staff on November 1, 1994 to discuss NRCS concerns that National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) compliance review was causing burdensome delays in the implementation of time-sensitive ground disturbing projects on private lands and lands under ASLD grazing and agricultural leases. The meeting included a discussion of the feasibility of obtaining support for a position to administer a para-archaeological program similar to the program once managed by ASM for ASLD.

Cultural resource staff of the ASLD participated in all four meetings of the Arizona Historic Advisory Commission in fiscal year 1994-1995, and submitted a written quarterly report to the Commission at all but one of the meetings.

Legislative Activity

As first introduced into the 1995 session, Senate bill SB1312 would have amended the State Historic Preservation Act (A.RS.§ 41-864) to allow SHPO 10, rather than 30, working days in which to review plans of state agencies involving Register-eligible properties. When heard in the Senate Committee on Government Operations on February 9, 1995, however, the bill was held by the committee chairman in favor of a strike-all amendment. The chairman asked that the amendment establish a date by which ASLD, ASM, and SHPO are to sign an agreement relating to cooperative cultural resource review procedures, and an interim committee, including representatives of the private business sector, to study the review process and make recommendations for improving its efficiency and effectiveness. After consulting with ASM, State Parks, and SHPO, ASLD drafted the amendment, which was filed into law.

Court Testimony

ASLD testified at a restitution hearing in Pinal County Superior Court on April 5, 1995, in connection with damage allegedly done to the Tom Mix Platform Mound by two defendants. ASLD asked for $24,000 based on ASM' s estimate of what it would cost to salvage and interpret data remaining in the disturbed areas, and to stabilize the mound to arrest further deterioration. In response to the Court's award of $500, ASLD asked the County for a clarification of why the physical evidence, bearing on the extent to which the damage was caused by the defendants, was not used by the County in support of ASLD's request.

25 Site Steward Program Activity

The ASLD continued to rely heavily on the Site Steward Program for monitoring illegal activity on archaeological sites, and credits the Program with numerous vandalism reports from throughout the state. To broaden ASLD's contact with Stewards, ALSLD attended the November 5, 1994 Flagstaff regional meeting in Flagstaff, at which one of ASLD's Flagstaff offfice staff was identified as a local ASLD contact for Site Stewards. At the annual Site Steward Program conference in Sedona on May 11, 1995, ASLD also identified one of its trespass staff to serve as primary ASLD contact for Site Stewards in Phoenix area.

Field Inspections

From July 27 through 29, 1994, ASLD performed an archaeological survey of 300 acres of State Trust land along Rawhide Wash in north Scottsdale. This work was necessitated by ASLD's internally-initiated plans to build a rainwater runoff retention basin along the wash. Cultural Resource staff inspected an archaeological site potentially affected by a proposed land treatment in Cochise County (August 22, 1994), a trespassed road in Pinal County (December 12, 1994), and archaeological sites affected by proposed transmission line work in Coconino County (March 29, 1995).

Public Presentations

Cultural Resource staff of the ASLD made presentations at the Natural Resource Conservation Districts (NRCD) Convention in Mesa (August 4,1994), a meeting in Phoenix of the Arizona Department of Administration Risk Management (October 19, 1994), and at the Traditional Cultural Properties workshop organized by the SHPO in Prescott (February 1-3, 1995).

28 ARIZONA STATE PARKS STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE Reported by James W. Garrison and Carol A. Griffith

The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is a division of Arizona State Parks. The responsibilities of the office are defined in state and federal law (A.RS. 41861-864 and 41-511.04; and P.L. 89-665, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended). Mandated programs include Comprehensive Historic Preservation Planning, Survey and Inventory of heritage resources; National and State Register nominations; Review and Compliance of federal and state undertakings; Grants Administration; Incentives Administration; Certified Local Government oversight; and Public Education Programs.

In fiscal year 1994-1995, there were a number of staffing changes in the SHPO. Bill Collins, former Inventory Specialist, assumed the position of Historian and is coordinating the SHPO's Survey and Inventory efforts. Fran Tropea moved from the Heritage Fund Grants Administrator position to the Federal Grants Program Administrator position, and Rhonda Breedlove was hired to oversee the Heritage Fund Grants for Historic Preservation. And finally, architect Robert Frankeberger assumed the position as Architectural Preservation Specialist and is coordinating the Certified Local Government Program.

In the past year, the Office has seen the residents of Arizona responding to SHPO efforts to continue implementation of the Five Year Plan for Historic Preservation. The Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC) continues to be very active in updating policy guidelines and overseeing the development of the plan as it relates to the Arizona Heritage Fund grant program.

The Historic Sites Review Committee reviews National Register nominations and provides recommendations to the SHPO on the eligibility of historic properties and archaeological sites. The Archaeology Advisory Commission provides advice on statewide archaeological issues and supports public archaeology programs such as Archaeology Month and the Site Stewards. In addition to these formal advisory bodies, the SHPO is fortunate to have numerous avocational and professional organizations with interests in historic preservation issues. Without volunteers providing valuable input the programs, the SHPO's effectiveness would be severely reduced.

On the following pages, the SHPO reports on its activities over the last 12 months. The reader is urged to look beyond the basic information to the intent of the programs. During fiscal year 1994-1995, the SHPO awarded seven federal grants and 20 competitive state (Heritage Fund) grants, totaling more than $1.4 million. At the same time, they had requests to fund projects totaling more than $5 million. The SHPO is currently monitoring 135 pass-through grants. The realization that the residents of Arizona have a major interest in preserving our state's heritage resources becomes more obvious every day.

In addition, this year the SHPO is working with the State Land Department and State Museum to streamline the process of reviewing compliance projects on State Trust land. This effort will hopefully clarify roles and procedures for the three agencies. 29 Over the last year, the SHPO has also worked with federal, _state, county, and local officials to consider the impacts of about 5,000 projects on cultural resources. The SHPO added 2,235 properties to the statewide inventory of historic and archaeological properties and 25 property nominations were listed in the Arizona and National Registers of Historic Places. The Site Steward program continued to mature, protecting more than 200 archaeological sites statewide. The SHPO continued to work closely with the Certified Local Government (CLG) communities and on preservation projects across the state. The State Historic Property Tax Reduction program participation significantly increased again this year.

As part of this effort, the SHPO and the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc. organized and co-sponsored a Tribal Symposium to address tribal preservation issues. Based on a recommendation of this meeting, a workshop on Traditional Cultural Properties was held in the fall of 1994 with co-sponsorships from Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc., the Bureau of Reclamation, and the SHPO. More than 130 tribal and agency representatives attended the workshop.

The SHPO will continue to place a high priority on education of the public regarding the value of preserving our heritage resources. The education, outreach, and various interactive programs will continue as the SHPO hopes to instill a preservation ethic in all residents of this state. This philosophy guides many of the decisions and the direction set for SHPO programs. The SHPO invites the reader to read the Annual Report and learn of the preservation activities taking place in Arizona today and to offer comments on its programs or suggest options for the future.

Federal and State Historic Preservation Grant Programs

The Arizona SHPO administers two grant programs, the Arizona Heritage Grant Program (AHF) and the Federal Historic Preservation Fund Grant Program (HPF). In order to improve efficiency, reduce program costs, and simplify the grant application process for applicants, the fiscal year 1994-1995 grant applications for both the federal and state grant-in-aid programs continue to be combined into one cycle with one application packet, the grant application process incorporated both federal priority issues and Arizona Heritage Grant priorities as identified in the Arizona Heritage Fund Five Year Plan. Grant application packets were made available in March and grant workshops were held in Flagstaff, Tucson, and Phoenix. A total of 92 applications were received with requests totaling more than $5 million dollars.

31 Historic Preservation Fund Grants

The HPF Program was established by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The fund is appropriated annually from Congress to the National Park Service and then apportioned from the National Park Service to the states. State Historic Preservation Offices use part of this apportionment to run their preservation programs. The balance of the apportionment is awarded in the form of 60/ 40 matching grants to private and public groups. The grants enable cities, towns, Indian Tribes, state agencies and rural areas to conduct projects that identify, protect, and preserve historical and archaeological properties. In fiscal year 1994-1995, the SHPO offered one type of HPF subgrant:

Certified Local Government (CLG) Subgrants- available only to communities which participate in the CLG Program. CLG sub-grants support a wide range of preservation activities including: the development of historic preservation education projects, survey and inventory of historic and archaeological sites, and National Register nominations.

The total federal allocation for fiscal year 1994-1995 was $538,605. Of this amount, $53,860 was available for competitive sub-grants to CLGs. Based on SHPO recommendations, the Arizona State Parks Board approved funding for seven CLG projects totaling $52,700. The fiscal year 1994-1995 Certified Local Government Grants (Table 1) are listed below.

Mill Horne Jerome $5,000 Annual Certified Local Government Conference

Arizona Heritage Fund Grants

Proposition 200 established a $20 million Arizona Heritage Fund (AHF) for use in a variety of programs coordinated by Arizona State Parks and the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Of this total, 17 percent of the $10 million allocated to Arizona State Parks is used for local, regional, and state historic preservation projects that require funding for easements, stabilization, rehabilitation, education and preservation ordinance development, reconstruction, restoration, interpretive development, acquisition, and maintenance. The funds are administered by the Arizona State Parks Board (ASPB) through the SHPO.

32 The ASPB and the citizen-based, Historic Preservation Advisory Committee utilized The Five Year Plan for Historic Preseroation in establishing priorities for awarding grants from the historic preservation component of the AHF.

Twenty projects totaling $1,395,994 were recommended by the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee and approved by the Arizona State Parks Board for funding. A summary of the fiscal year 1994-1995 grant awards are listed in Table 2.

34 Statewide Comprehensive Preservation Planning

Development of historic context studies, which place historic and prehistoric resources within a framework of time, place, and research issues or themes, continues to be a major component of the SHPO's Statewide Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan.

The following contexts have been completed and are available at the SHPO:

• Prehistoric Irrigation in Arizona • Historic Trails in Arizona* • Homesteading in Arizona, 1862-1940 • Lithic Sites in Arizona • Basques in Arizona, From Spanish Colonial Times to the Present • Commerce in Phoenix, 1870-1942 • Gold and Silver Mining in Arizona, 1848-1945 • Chinese in Arizona, 1870-1950 • The United States Military in Arizona, 1846-1945 • Prehistoric Non-irrigated Agriculture • Rock Art in Arizona* • Transcontinental Railroading in Arizona, 1878-1940

The following studies will be drafted in the coming year:

• The Paleoindian and Archaic Periods in Arizona, ca. 10,000 BC-AD 100 • Prehistoric to Historic Transition Period in Arizona, AD 1500-1700 • Ranching in Arizona • Vernacular Architecture in Arizona

Next year will also see the updating of the Arizona's Comprehensive State-u.Jide Historic Preservation Plan. The last plan was completed in 1992 and has been the standard by which preservation efforts have been prioritized for the past three years. The new plan will update these priority issues by undertaking an assessment of preservation efforts to date, and planning our future goals and objectives. The Plan will reflect the vision and goals of all the people who effect or are effected by the variety of preservation efforts throughout Arizona.

*Studies that were completed this year.

35 Survey and Inventory Program

The Survey and Inventory Program is the basic foundation of the identification, evaluation, and registration of historic and archaeological properties which may ultimately merit a place on the Arizona and National Register of Historic Places. As such, the Survey and Inventory program both supports, and is supported by, all the other elements of the SHPO.

Properties are identified as a result of the many programs in which the SHPO participates, including Survey and Planning and Certified Local Government grants, National and Arizona Registers of Historic Places, Review and Compliance, and other program areas. The SHPO also receives many inquiries from individuals, agencies, and consultants regarding the eligibility of properties for the Arizona and National Register of Historic Places.

Survey activities lead to a heightened awareness in the state's population of our heritage and the need for its preservation. It provides impetus for communities to develop historic zoning and ordinances, and it leads communities and builders to consider more carefully their actions towards irreplaceable cultural resources. Sometimes this stems from potential tax incentives or tourism revenues, but more often it comes from the realization that resource preservation lends character to life through the maintenance of a unique setting.

Registration of Properties into the Cultural Resource Inventory

The Cultural Resource Inventory is a data bank that is constantly being modified as new information is obtained. The Inventory consists of (1) the State Inventory Book, (2) paper files organized alphabetically by county, (3) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) maps and county atlases for Arizona with survey and site inventory data plotted on them, (4) computerized files, and

The Rucker Canyon Archaeological District, Courtesy, State Historic Preservation Office Cochise County, Chiricahua Mountains 36 (5) the historic and archaeology libraries. The computerized site and survey files contain information for both historic and archaeological properties.

Oversight responsibility for the Cultural Resource Inventory is divided between two staff members. The Historian in charge of surveys is responsible for the correct entry of data related to historic sites while the Archaeological Projects Specialist is responsible for overseeing the proper entry of data for archaeological sites. The Historic Sites Recorder, a position funded by the Arizona Heritage Fund, is responsible, under the supervision of above two staff, for the day-to-day entry of data and the maintenance of the map collection and paper files.

Historic Properties In fiscal year 1994-1995, a total of 1,298 buildings, structures, objects, and historic sites were entered into the Cultural Resource Inventory. Historic sites are plotted on Arizona State Highway County Atlases. As a point of interest, public input resulted in the addition of about 35 historic properties being entered into the Inventory. In addition, considerable effort has been expended in the last year to enter detailed data and reduce backlogged work. It is estimated that over 95 percent of all historic sites of which the SHPO has gathered information are entered into the computerized files.

Archaeological Properties The boundaries of 190 cultural resources survey projects conducted in fiscal year 1994-1995 were also entered into the computer inventory and were plotted on USGS topographic maps. These projects represent 64,628 acres of survey coverage. These surveys found a total of 937 prehistoric, historic archaeological, and historic properties. Of these, a total of 156 prehistoric archaeological, 58 historic archaeological, and 22 multicomponent sites were added to the Inventory. These sites were provided to the SHPO through either the state and/ or federal compliance processes, or through our historic preservation granting process. All of the archaeological properties that were listed on the National Register of Historic Places during

The Rucker Canyon Archaeological District, Courtesy, State Historic Preservation Office Cochise County, Chiricahua Mountains 37 this year were also encoded and entered into the Cultural Resource Inventory. As part of the inventory process, all archaeological sites (including prehistoric and historic) and survey areas were plotted on USGS topographic maps. For most of fiscal year 1994-1995, the Historic Sites Recorder position was unfilled. Because of this, the number of archaeological sites above represents only a small portion of those for which the SHPO has reports. A significant backlog of these properties has built up since September, 1994. The number of 156 prehistoric sites and 190 survey projects is a severe undercount of properties that will eventually be added to the Inventory. It is hoped that once the SHPO is fully staffed, this backlog will decrease and next year's figures will reflect all the site and survey information that the SHPO has gathered.

Review and Compliance

During fiscal year 1994-1995, the compliance staff at SHPO reviewed over 4000 federal undertakings pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Many of the federal undertakings are initiated by the large federal landowners such as the Forest Service, National Park Service, and the Bureau of Land Management, but there have been growing numbers of submissions originating from various Department of Defense agencies and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) which have added to the workload. A significant amount of federal undertakings also originate from cities and counties in Arizona that administer Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs and others come from applicants needing a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Federal Highway Administration also routinely consults with SHPO regarding need highway construction and highway improvement projects. All in all, SHPO deals with almost 50 federal agencies and reviews a very wide spectrum of projects proposed for development in Arizona.

In addition to federal projects, the SHPO reviewed over 530 state projects pursuant to the State Historic Preservation Act. The Arizona Department of Transportation generates most of these consultations for their road projects; but other state agencies such as the Arizona State Land Department, Arizona Game and Fish Department, and Arizona State Parks consult with SHPO. The SHPO staff reviews all of the Arizona Heritage Fund grant applications to ensure that state funded grant projects will not adversely effect significant cultural resources.

The SHPO office reviewed 352 zoning and planned development projects for Maricopa, Pima, and Yavapai counties and the cities of Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Tempe. This voluntary program is growing as more communities and developers recognize the need to consider the impacts of projects on historic properties. Cities and towns such as Prescott and Oro Valley have incorporated a SHPO review into their local ordinances. This demonstrates the strong commitment in Arizona to protecting significant cultural resources.

Most compliance projects are routine and over half of the reviews ended within 30 days with a determination of "no effect" based on little likelihood to impact significance cultural resources or avoidance of such resources. However, some projects required significant attention due to complex consultations involving many parties and jurisdictions. Examples of more complex compliance projects include new freeway construction, closure of military bases, new

38 transmission line construction, and expansion of areas used for mining. SHPO assisted in the negotiation of a number of complex projects and in developing Programmatic Agreements for those projects including the execution of a Programmatic Agreement for all road projects on the Navajo Nation signed by both the New Mexico and Arizona SHPOs and the Programmatic Agreement for the closure of Williams Air Force Base.

Certified Local Government Program

The Certified Local Government (CLG) program establishes an administrative relationship between municipal governments, the SHPO, and the National Park Service. The purpose of the program is to increase local government and constituent participation in the federal historic preservation program by creating a formal role between the CLG and various federal programs. The CLG takes on a participatory function in the National Register of Historic Places nomination process and in design review for both locally and federally-assisted projects. A special apportionment of the SHPO federal allocation is also set aside for use by CLGs. A complete list of CLG grant projects for 1994-95 is included in the section on Historic Preservation Fund grants.

The major requirements to become a CLG include passage of a local historic preservation ordinance and empowering a local preservation commission to implement and enforce the ordinance. The SHPO then offers specific assistance in local preservation techniques, and conducts an annual monitoring and evaluation of the local program.

Arizona's CLG program was initiated in 1986, with eight communities joining the program in the first year. The program has grown over the years. Two communities were certified in 1994-95 making a total of fifteen active CLGs in Arizona. The SHPO would like to assist and encourage communities that are not yet CLGs with developing local programs. Current efforts have been directed toward communities that have some type of program in existence, such as Tombstone, or have strong potential for establishing a program, such as Tempe.

Several of the CLGs joined the program after extensive historic property surveys and National Register nominations had already been accomplished. This enabled the cities to utilize the CLG funds for public education, outreach efforts, and local preservation planning projects. Thus, the CLG program has generated a substantial degree of public interaction concerning preservation in the communities. CLG communities have the advantage of an organized historic preservation commission to support the various aspects of the preservation process at the local level.

39 One of the SHPO responsibilities in the CLG program is to conduct an annual training session for local preservation commissions and the local community support staff to assist them in carrying out their review responsibilities and help in strengthening their programs. Since most of the local commissions consist of seven members, the CLG program potentially provides detailed information and training in technical preservation to over 100 commissioners, and this number increases with program growth. The 1995 annual CLG Conference was held April 28 and 29 in Jerome. The program addressed issues important to local governments, including legal requirements of CLG's for: administration of their preservation ordinance, the role of CLG' sin survey and in the National Register process, grants administration, and public education. The highlight of the meeting was the forum of presenters from Williams, Phoenix, Yuma, Mesa and Prescott, who shared their experience in these issues with the representatives in attendance from prospective CLG's. As ofJuly 1, 1995 the process of certification for local governments was changed. Henceforth, certification will be accomplished by the State Historic Preservation Office, without further National Park Service review.

Preservation Tax Incentives

As tangible links to its past, a community's historic buildings reflect the unique character of its neighborhoods and gathering places. Various federal and state laws have been enacted to support the preservation of these buildings through tax reductions and incentives. Arizona's historic property owners can benefit from these programs if their properties meet certain criteria. The federal and state programs are summarized below.

The State Historic Property Tax (SPT) Program

Non-Income Producing (Residential) Properties. The residential component of the SPT program offers a reclassification of property effectively reducing the property tax assessment for owners of properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a 15 year agreement by which the property is maintained according to federal standards, and must be used wholly or partially for non-income producing purposes.

Commercial Properties. Revisions to the historic property tax laws went into effect in the fall of 1992, and 1993 marked the first year of the commercial component of the SPT program. This portion of the program offers a property tax reduction on improvements to owners who rehabilitate National Register listed commercial, industrial, or rental residential properties.

Under provisions of this new act, the owner of a historic commercial building can request to enter into a 10 year program whereby the building's first year tax rate is assessed as before, while any modifications intended to restore or rehabilitate the property during the 10 year period are assessed at only one percent of their full cash value. The intent of this program is to provide the owner an opportunity to make the building presentable to potential tenants and allow such tenants the opportunity to make improvements without the threat of significant tax increases.

40 Between January 1994 and June 1995, 544 properties were added to the SPT program, for a total of 1,634. Of these, 14 properties were in the new commercial category. The fiscal year 1994-1995 additions represent a 47 percent increase over the previous year. This increase is due in part to the addition of 11 new residential historic districts to the National Register and the addition of properties to four existing National Register districts in fiscal year 1994-1995. The phenomenal growth of SPT properties, then, illustrates the continuing popularity of the program as well as the ongoing efforts of SHPO staff to educate the public.

The following table reflects the number of applications received and processed for the State Historic Property Tax Program from January 1, 1994 to June 30 ,1995

• All properties delisted in 1994-95 were owner-occupied residences which became rentals.

In the summer of 1993, the State Historic Preservation Office began an active campaign of encouraging historic property owners throughout the state to become involved in the SPT program. These educational sessions continued through ear1 y 1994 in meetings with Arizona's CLGs.

The SHPO staff has continued to work to implement the commercial aspect of the program. Beginning with the 1994 annual reports, review of commercial properties marks an increase in the overall management of the growing SPT program. To aid in program management, all SPT property information was entered into a shared computer database in 1993, and every public information sheet was revised to make it more informative and instructional.

SHPO reviewed all Arizona State Parks Board rules pertaining to the SPT program as part of a five year review process. Changes have been proposed to reflect not only the addition of the commercial component to the program, but also the numerous management changes since its inception in 1978. 41 Federal Investment Tax Credit Program (FITC)

While the State program offers an incentive to residential property owners, the federal program is oriented toward investment properties. The FITC authorizes a 20 percent investment tax credit for substantial rehabilitation of historic properties, coupled with accelerated depreciation for income-producing properties. Like the state program, properties must be listed individually or as contributors within a historic district listed on the National Register. Application for the program is made through the SHPO, with review and certification required through the National Park Service. The Rehabilitation Tax Credit is available for owners of income-producing properties who undertake substantial rehabilitation of historic properties. The plans and specifications for the rehabilitation of these properties are reviewed by the SHPO and, after being accepted, are forwarded to the National Park Service, which has final authority over certification. In most cases, the process of planning, applying for certification, and project completion may take more than 12 months, so several projects overlap the fiscal year.

Reaching The Public The SHPO is known for the diversity and extent of its public programs, which are designed to heighten awareness of historic preservation issues and the unique character and value of our state's cultural resources. Summarized below, these programs include Arizona Archaeology Month, Historic Preservation Week, coordination of the Governor's Awards for Historic Preservation, and outreach to our constituents through publications and presentations.

Arizona Archaeology Awareness Month, March 1-31, 1995 Arizonans celebrated the 13th annual Arizona Archaeology Awareness Month (March 1-31) with over 100 events and activities across the state. The Archaeology Fair was held on Saturday and Sunday, March 25-26, at the Tubae Presidio State Historic Park. The Fair was a cooperative venture among Arizona State Parks, the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the National Park Service, the Arizona Archaeological Society, and the Southwest Archaeology Team. Approximately 5,000-6,000 people attended the two-day Fair which featured guided tours of archaeological and historical sites and parks, as well as exhibits, demonstrations, lectures, hands-on activities, and living history reenactments offered. This event was truly representative of the Archaeology Awareness Month theme: 42 #Preserving 12,000 Years of Heritage." The Fair was successful in reaching out to a portion of Arizona (extreme southern Arizona) not previously visited by an Archaeology Fair.

The Governor's "Volunteers in Archaeology Award" was presented to Richard and Florence Lord of Prescott for their volunteer efforts at photographing archaeological investigations at sites throughout the Southwest. The Lords have assisted numerous state and federal agencies in these endeavors and developed a unique and extremely helpful tripod device for taking overhead photographs of archaeological sites. This award is presented by the Governor's Archaeology Advisory Commission as part of Arizona Archaeology Awareness Month.

The Arizona Archaeological Society (AAS) sponsored a bookmark design contest in Arizona schools. Designs were submitted by schools throughout Arizona. Selection of the designs used on bookmarks was made by the AAS. More than 21,000 bookmarks were distributed by AAS at field trips, lectures, fairs, and meetings to various agencies, and also to local schools and libraries, statewide. Cash prizes were awarded to students whose designs took the First, Second, Third places, and Honorable Mention. Many other Archaeology Awareness Month events were offered in the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas, as well as in Bullhead City, Douglas, Flagstaff, Mesa, Page, Prescott, Somerton, Sonoita, Springerville, Thatcher, Winslow, White River, Yuma, and many of the State and National Parks in the state.

Heritage Preservation Month April 20-May 20, 1995

Arizonans have celebrated National Historic Preservation Week for more than 20 years. Beginning in the spring of 1994, under SHPO leadership, the festivities were extended to a month-long observation called Heritage Preservation Month. For a whole month, Arizona communities held events that spotlighted the preservation of the tangible evidences of

43 Arizona's rich and varied past. Individuals, organizations, and local, county, state, and federal agencies joined together to recognize the benefits of historic preservation. The SHPO coordinated the observance of Heritage Preservation Month and produced a statewide Calendar of Events, a poster, and conducted the annual photography competition. A major focus of the month was the annual Governor's Awards ceremony, cosponsored by the SHPO, the Arizona Preservation Foundation, and the Office of the Governor. Each year, the Arizona Department of Commerce also presents Main Street Design recognition awards to a number of Arizona communities. ·

Heritage Preservation Month activities included the addition of a noonday SHPO Lecture Series held on five Thursdays during the month. The speakers and their topics were well received. These were Bob Graham, Tailings of Two Cities, the story of historic preservation in two mining company towns-Clifton and Clarkdale; Rick Lewis, Bacavi Village and the Hopi Terrace Gardens, a new look at preserving traditional Hopi architecture and landscape; Bernard Schmidt, The Gadsden Purchase Play: How did Arizona Get its Boundaries, putting the spotlight on a dramatic 1853-54 international gamble by significant players, setting Arizona's present boundary lines; and James W. Garrison, State Historic Preservation Officer, Architects on the Arizona Frontier.

The 1995 poster featured a collage of Arizona doorways illustrating the slogan, Historic Preservation: Entrance to the Past.

SHARLOT HALL MUSEUM Reported by Catherine Stephan

This report summarizes the historic preservation activities of Prescott Historical Society for fiscal year 1994-1995.

The Museum received an Arizona State Parks Heritage Grant to restore Fort Misery, one of the first log dwellings in the area, to its original configuration. Fort Misery was moved to the museum grounds and reconstructed in 1937; however, photographs show that the current configuration only slightly resembles the original. Museum staff are doing some of work, such as hewing replacement logs with period tools in 1860s costume as an educational program for visitors. Fort Misery is listed in the Arizona Register of Historic Places.

Fumigation was completed on the historic 1877 William C. Bashford House, and logs from Fort Misery will be treated for termites.

A Santa Fe Railroad oil storage building was donated to the Museum by the City of Prescott. Built by the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1920's, the sturdy 20 foot by 30 foot sheet-metal-clad building will be used for storage. A grant request to Santa Fe Pacific Foundation for repair and paint of this historic building was funded.

Steam generators and humidistats were installed to control humidity in all collections and archival storage areas. This was funded by a grant from State Risk Management, Loss Control Division.

44 A Sunday at the Museum historic preservation program in April featured Elizabeth Ruffner relating the history of preservation in Prescott and Curator Norm Tessman presenting a slide show of wins, losses, and threatened resources.

Listed in the Arizona and National Register of Historic Places on August 15, 1994. Completed in November 1939, the arrrwry was built in Vernacular Depression Era (under the WPA program) style with concrete and native materials.

THE AMERIND FOUNDATION, INC. Reported by Anne I. Woosley In cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, the Amerind Foundation sponsored another advanced seminar in its Amerind New World Studies Series. This seminar brought together archaeologists researching Salado prehistory, specifically those studies relating to excavation and analysis of sites impacted by the Roosevelt Dam Project. Scholars represented local universities, including Arizona State University and the University of Arizona, as well as organizations such as the Center for Desert Archaeology, Estrella Cultural Research, Gila River Indian Community, Statistical Research, Inc., and Tonto National Forest.

In October, 1994, Northern Arizona University (NAU) officially feted the centennial of the construction of the first campus building, Old Main. Several hundred University associates and friends were present to hear testimonials concerning the history of the building and the early days of town-and-gown relationship which contributed to the development of NAU and Flagstaff. Birthday cake and punch were served to all. The Old Main Centennial celebration served as the rallying point of an art endowment campaign which has a goal of raising $200,000 to acquire art work for the NAU collection. Pieces created by NAU students and faculty will be included the art to be acquired. Along with printing a photography of the NAU Old Main Centennial celebration, the December 1994/January 1995 issue of Historic Preservation News contained an article entitled "Big Plan on Campus" which described recent preservation activities at colleges nationwide and characterized NAU as "among the country's best examples of campus preservation planning." Historic Preservation News is published by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. In fiscal year 1994-1995, the NAU Anthropology Laboratories conducted five archaeological surveys designed to discover and assess archaeological sites within construction zones, as required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. These surveys were conducted for the Indian Health Service and clients from the private sector. The Anthropology Laboratories also undertook several larger historic preservation projects involving archaeological inventory survey, ethnographic studies, archaeological excavations, and ruins preservation assessments. These projects were conducted for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Animas-La Plata project in Colorado, for the U.S. National Park Service's Flagstaff Area National Monuments, and for the Coconino National Forest. Archaeological 49 test excavations were undertaken as part of a housing and maintenance yard project at Sunset Crater National Monument. Anthropology Laboratories research specialist Christopher Harper and graduate assistant Lisa Pfost conducted a pre-stabilization assessment study of cliff dwellings at Walnut Canyon. Pfost continued her work during the summer as an archaeological intern at Wupatki and Walnut Canyon National Monuments, conducting preservation-related archival research and field documentation of archaeological sites. During the spring of 1995, Christian Downum, Director of the Anthropology Laboratories, and Lisa Pfost conducted a pre-stabilization assessment and mapping project at the Honanki cliff dwellings on the Coconino National Forest.

Archaeological survey and inventory of historic properties, including prehistoric sites, was also conducted at Walnut Canyon National Monument and on the CO-Bar Ranch north of Wupatki National Monument. A total of about 80 acres were surveyed, and five previously unrecorded prehistoric sites were documented. These activities were conducted by graduate students in the NAU Cultural Resources Management course, taught by Downum. Information from the survey on the CO-Bar Ranch will be included in the final report on the CO-Bar Ranch survey, an effort funded by an Arizona State Historic Preservation Office survey and planning grant.

Charles Hoffman supervised field work by two undergraduate students who conducted archaeological surveys on the CO-Bar Ranch. These students documented about 15 new archaeological sites. Results of their efforts will be incorporated into the report in preparation for the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office, as part of the larger CO-Bar Ranch project.

Participation in Archaeology Week

Charles Hoffman and Christian Downum of the Anthropology Department faculty offered public lectures during archaeology week at the Museum of Northern Arizona and for the Arizona Archaeological Society, Flagstaff Chapter. Charles Hoffman and two undergraduate students, Cheryl Babb and Jennifer Minor, organized the CO-Bar symposium, held at Flagstaff City Hall. This symposium was devoted to the archaeology, history, and natural history of the CO-Bar Ranch north of Flagstaff, and issues surrounding its preservation.

Training in Historic Preservation or Archaeology

The Anthropology Department offered the following formal courses in archaeology and historic preservation:

• ANT 524 Cultural Resource Management • ANT 525 Historic Preservation • ANT 599 Historic Archaeology Also, in May 1995, in collaboration with the U.S. National Park Service, NAU offered the 2nd Ruins Preservation Workshop, focusing on the preservation of prehistoric archaeological sites and masonry structures. Nine persons attended, including personnel from Arizona State Parks, the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office, the Coconino National Forest, and several private archaeological consulting firms.

50 Preservation of Utilization of Historic Structures

Miguel Vasquez, associate professor in Anthropology, continued his work to restore farming terraces at the Hopi village of Bacavi. This work is funded by the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office and Feed My People, International.

Cline Library Lecture

Julie McIntire presented a lecture on the history and development of the Flagstaff Catholic schools and buildings at the Cline Library auditorium on September 14, 1995. Her presentation was part of a larger lecture series, and served as the basis for an article on the same subject appearing in Mountain Living Magazine.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA Reported by Raymond H. Thompson

Historic preservation activities at the University of Arizona involve work and planning re­ lated to the historic buildings of the institution and the protection of archaeological resources on state land.

Historic Preservation Policy

The most important action during fiscal year 1994-1995 was the adoptation of a Historic Preservation Policy by the President's Cabinet on November 14, 1994. President Pacheco appointed Raymond H. Thompson the University Historic Preservation Coordinator. David Duffy and Susan Bartlett of Campus and Facility Planning are working with Thompson to develop a Historic Preservation Plan to implement the policy. The text of the University of Arizona, General Administrative Policy Relating to Historic Preservation Activities follows:

Purpose

The University of Arizona recognizes that historical, archaeological, cultural, and architec­ tural resources must be considered in the planning for land and facility use and develop­ ment. The purpose of this policy is to express the University's stewardship role and respon­ sibilities regarding the preservation of these resources within the University Planning Area, and at other locations owned or under the control of the University (e.g., Campus Agriculture Center, Tumamoc).

Policy

1. The University will continue to comply with the provisions of the State Historic Preser­ vation Act of 1982, and the Arizona Antiquities Act of 1960, as amended. 2. The University will document historic or potentially historic resources consistent with the 1982 Act, in a professionally competent and responsible manner, and in consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).

51 3. The University will consider adaptive use or reuse of historic resources (e.g., buildings and sites) under ownership and control of the University in the planning and implementation of projects. 4. The University will encourage public appreciation of historic values through educational programs, and through the study and interpretation of archaeological, architectural, and historical resources throughout Arizona. 5. The University's designated Historic Preservation Coordinator (HPC) is responsible for ensuring compliance with the above policy guidelines and all applicable regulations of the State. 6. The I-WC is responsible for coordinating University activities and projects with the SI-WO as necessary or appropriate, and will be supported in these efforts by campus planning staff. 7. The University of Arizona's HPC will be appointed by the President, is the University's designated liaison with the SHPO, and is responsible for annual reports to them on preservation activities of the University.

Archaeological Activities

The Arizona State Museum has statutory responsibility for archaeological resources on state land, for burials on state and private land, and for the repatriation of material in its collections to Indian tribes. The Museum participated in Arizona Archaeology Month, offered 22 lectures on Arizona prehistory as a part of its out-reach program, and worked closely with the Arizona Site Steward Program. The Museum issued 117 Arizona Antiquity Act Permits for 59 organizations, 55 Blanket Permits to do archaeological survey, and 62 Project Specific Permits to conduct testing and other data recovery excavation. Museum archaeologists received and commented in a timely manner on 293 Arizona State Land Applications, recommending clearance in 123 cases and archaeological survey in 170 cases. Fifty-eight cases were handled under the state statutes protecting burials, and several cases from the last fiscal year were carried over into this fiscal year. Work continues on the inventory of museum collections required by state and federal repatriation legislation. Several information sharing meetings were held between Native American groups, other interested parties, and Museum personnel. The Archaeological Site and Survey File Office issued 2,000 new site numbers and received 964 new site cards this fiscal year. The Office also recorded 395 survey projects. Just under 600 requests were made to use the site file. These requests generated about five telephone calls per week and almost 15,000 paper copies of site information. Work continues on the maintenance and upgrade of the Museum's site survey and its computerized version, AZSITE and related files. For example, the new AZSITE has 11,200 checked and re-entered records, 4,570 of which were added in fiscal year 1994-1995. A major step toward cooperative sharing of site data through AZSITE was the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Cultural Resource Inventories on State Land by the Museum, the State Historic Preservation Office, the Arizona State University, and the Museum of Northern Arizona.
