A DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES, SAN BERNARDINO RANCH NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK, COCHISE COUNTY, ARIZONA prepared for: Johnson Historical Museum of the Southwest, Inc. Sun City, Arizona prepared by: Lyle M. Stone and James E. Ayres Archaeological Research Services, Inc. Tempe, Arizona August 1982 ABSTRACT Archaeological Research Service, Inc. recently completed an arch- aeological evaluation of a small portion of an early 19th century Mex- ican land grant located near Douglas, Cochise County, Arizona. The San Bernardino Grant property was acquired by Ignacio de Perez in 1822; Perez abandoned the grant in the early 1830's due to Indian hostilities. During the period from the mid-1880's until about 1920 the property was owned by John H. Slaughter, an Anglo rancher and Sheriff of Cochise Coun- ty. The Nature Conservancy acquired the property in 1980 and sub- sequently sold its interest to the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Johnson Historical Museum of the South- west, Inc. The 131 ac Johnson Museum property includes most of the San Ber- nardino Ranch National Historic Landmark (and National Register of His- toric Places) property, including all of the existing Slaughter Ranch buildings. One of the primary objectives of the Johnson Museum is the long term management (through research, preservation, and interpretive development) of cultural resources which are present on the property.
