THE COCHISE QUARTERLY Volume 1 Number 2 June, 1971 CONTENTS Early Hunters and Gatherers in Southeastern Arizona by Ric Windmiller 3 From Rocks to Gadgets A History of Cochise County, Arizona by Carl Trischka 16 A Cochise Culture Human Skeleton From Southeastern Arizona by Kenneth R. McWilliams 24 Cover designed by Ray Levra, Cochise College A Publication of the Cochise County Historical and Archaeological Society P. O. Box 207 Pearce, Arizona 85625 2 EARLY HUNTERS AND GATHERERS IN SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA* By Ric Windmiller Assistant Archaeologist, Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona During the summer, 1970, the Arizona State Museum, in co- operation with the State Highway Department and Cochise County, excavated an ancient pre-pottery archaeological site and remains of a mammoth near Double Adobe, Arizona.. Although highway salvage archaeology has been carried out in the state since 1955, last sum- mer's work on Whitewater Draw, near Double Adobe, represented the first time that either the site of early hunters and gatherers or re- mains of extinct mammoth had been recovered through the salvage program. In addition, excavation of the pre-pottery Cochise culture site on a new highway right-of-way has revealed vital evidence for the reconstruction of prehistoric life-ways in southeastern Arizona, an area that is little known archaeologically, yet which has produced evidence to indicate that it was early one of the most important areas for the development of and a settled way of life in the Southwest. \ Early Big Game Hunters Southeastern Arizona is also important as the area in which the first finds in North America of extinct faunal remains overlying cul- tural evidences of man were scientifically excavated. -

Southeast Arizona The Nature Conservancy Legacy Club August 11- 18, 2012 SPECIES LIST (List follows the newest AOU order) Black-bellied Whistling-Duck––4 in the wetland near Elgin, whistling as they flew Mexican Duck (Mallard)––at the Elgin wetland and Willcox’s “Lake Cochise” Northern Shoveler––a few lounging at the Willcox ponds Ruddy Duck––one male and a female, paddling behind the reeds at Willcox golf pond Scaled Quail––a few glimpsed near Whitewater Draw, seen well as they crossed the road Gambel’s Quail––small groups seen almost daily Montezuma Quail––heard only, whistling in Huachuca Canyon, what a tease! Pied-billed Grebe––1 at the Willcox golf pond Great Blue Heron––at the Elgin wetland and flying behind Casa de San Pedro Black-crowned Night-Heron––1 immature flushed at the Willcox golf pond White-faced Ibis––2 distant birds at Whitewater and others flying over the Willcox ponds Black Vulture––a single perched on the cliff above Patagonia’s roadside rest, great scope views for all. Turkey Vulture––throughout White-tailed Kite––3 in the Elgin grasslands, what a thrill to see them at dusk, after a very full day Northern Harrier––1 in the Elgin grasslands Cooper’s Hawk––1 near Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve, one very close by as we passed it on the road leaving Tucson Gray Hawk––heard only in several locations in the lowlands. With ample time in two of its favorite haunts, we were surprised not to get “cracking” views. Swainson’s Hawk––fairly common along the roadsides on most days, particularly noticeable near Portal. -
Chapter 3. Affected Environment Lower Sonoran/SDNM Draft RMP/EIS 253
Chapter 3. Affected Environment Lower Sonoran/SDNM Draft RMP/EIS 253 3.1. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the environment within the Lower Sonoran Planning Area that would potentially be affected by actions proposed under the alternatives described in Chapter 2, Alternatives (p. 27). While the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is only responsible for managing BLM-administered public lands (public lands) within the Planning Area (i.e. the Lower Sonoran and Sonoran Desert National Monument [SDNM] Decision Areas), proposed decisions may affect environmental components outside the Decision Areas. Therefore, unless indicated otherwise, discussion and analysis in this section encompasses the Planning Area as a whole. The environmental components potentially impacted consist of resource and management activities listed below. The foreseeable environmental effects of the alternatives on these same resource and management activities are described in Chapter 4, Environmental Consequences (p. 371). Resources Resource Uses Air Quality Lands and Realty Cave Resources Livestock Grazing Management Climate Change Minerals Management Cultural and Heritage Resources Recreation Management Geology Travel Management Paleontological Resources Special Area Designations Priority Wildlife Species and Habitat Management National Landscape Conservation System Soil Resources Administrative Designations Vegetation Resources Other Special Designations Visual Resources Social and Economic Water Resources Tribal Interests Wild Horse & Burro Management Hazardous Materials and Public Safety Wilderness Characteristics Social and Economic Conditions Wildland Fire Management The data and descriptions of these categories are drawn from the Analysis of the Management Situation (AMS) (BLM 2005) and subsequent, completed resource assessments on several of the environmental components occurring within the Planning Area. The AMS is available for public review at the BLM’s Phoenix District Office. -

Gold Deposits Near Quartzsite, Arizona
GOLD DEPOSITS NEAR QUARTZSITE, ARIZONA. By EDWARD L. JONES, Jr. INTRODUCTION. This report is based on information obtained by the writer in April and May, 1914,. while he was classifying the lands in the Colorado River Indian Reservation. The area considered includes the south ern part of the reservation and the region extending eastward from the reservation to the Plomosa Mountains. The geology and ore deposits within the reservation were more particularly studied, the time allotted to the examination being too short to permit detailed work in the area farther east. For information concerning placers outside the reservation the writer is indebted to Mr. E. L. Du- fourcq, who conducted the testing of placer .ground near Quartz- site. Mr. W. W. McCoy, of San Bernardino, kindly furnished the early history of the La Paz district, and Mr. Edward Beggs, of Quartzsite, gave much useful information regarding the La Paz placers. In 1909 Howland Bancroft x made a geologic reconnaissance of northern Yuma County .and much of the country around Quartz- site and farther west to the reservation line. In his report he men tions the La Paz district and briefly describes placers in the Plomosa Mountains and prospects on gold-bearing quartz veins in the vicinity of Quartzsite. The map that accompanies the present report (PI. IV) is compiled from the records of the General Land Office. The area within the reservation has been subdivided into sections; the land east of the reservation is unsurveyed. The mountainous areas in the reserva tion are indicated on this map by patterns showing the geologic rock formations; the mountains in the unsurveyed area are repre sented approximately by hachures.
