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. -

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. -

Fisheries personnel in Whitehorse, Vancouver and Ottawa were most helpful and we would especially like to thank Michael Hunter, Gordon Zealand, Sandy Johnston, Peter Etherton, Elmer Fast, Tim Young, Obert Sweitzer, and Ciunius Boyle. The help and patience of personnel from the Yukon Archives, Hudson's Bay Arohives, and Publio Archives of Canada, partioularly Bob Armstrong, the arohivist in charge of Fisheries documents, is gratefully acknowledged. Interviews with Yukon residents: G.I. Cameron, Charles "Chappie ft Chapman, Silvester Jack, Dorothy Jackson, Elizabeth Nyman, Angela Sidney, George Simmons, Virginia Smarch, Dora Wedge and Ed Whjtehouse provided information that was otherwise not available. Julie Cruikshank suggested useful reference resouroes for Indian fishing information. Aileen Horler and Tim Osler offered suggestions during the embryonic stage of the study. Valuable editorial comments were provided by Gavin Johnston. Sandy Johnston provided ourrent information on the Canada/U.S. Yukon River salmon negotiations. The report was typed by Norma Felker, Sharilyn Gattie and Kelly Wilkinson. ii SUMMARY Prior to the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, fishing in the Yukon was primarily done by indigenous peoples for subsistenoe. For a number of Indian bands, fish, and partioularly salmon, was the primary food souroe. Contaot with White furtraders initiated a ohange in the Indian lifestyle. -

Marr Anthony L. Velasco April 2005 Prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Arizona Ecological Services Office 2321 W. Royal Palm Road, Suite 103 Phoenix, Arizona 85021 Under Cooperative Agreement N68711-02-LT-00030 For the U.S. Department of Navy Southwest Division Naval Facilities Engineering Command 1220 Pacific Highway San Diego, CA 92132-5190 W:\Carrie Marr\Chaff StudyContract\Final chaff report.doc ABSTRACT While the federally endangered Sonoran pronghorn (Antilocapra americana sonoriensis) population has plummeted on the Barry M. Goldwater Range in southwestern Arizona, biologists have questioned some range activities that may increase risk potential to the pronghorn. Sonoran pronghorn on the Barry M. Goldwater Range in southwestern Arizona are exposed to military radio-frequency chaff that is used by aircraft during training exercises. Chaff are fibrous, glass strands coated with metallic aluminum that disrupt an enemy’s radar; strands also were coated (historically) with a strip of lead to increase flutter [performance]. Considering the amount of chaff released over the last 50+ years, and the metals used on the chaff fibers, the risk potential to Sonoran pronghorn was high enough to warrant investigation. Sonoran pronghorn population levels are so low that the any additional stress placed upon species could be detrimental to the existence of the species. As a result, we studied Sonoran pronghorn oral exposure to chaff on the Barry M. Goldwater Range, Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, Organ Pipe National Monument, and Luke Air Force Range (herein these properties are referred to collectively as BMGR), and Kofa National Wildlife Refuge (KNWR) as a reference site. -

DESCRIPTORS Built Environment; Curriculum Enrichment; Foreign Countries; Historic Sites; *Local History; *North American History; Primary Sources; Secondary Education; Social Studies; *State History; Student Educational Objectives IDENTIFIERS Canada; National Register of Historic Places; Urban Development; Yukon Territory ABSTRACT This lesson aims to help students understand the impact of the Klondike Gold Rush on the development of Skagway, Alaska, a town which now has a year-round population of only 800 but which hosts half a million tourists annually. The lesson can be used in units on western expansion, on late 19th- and early 20th-century commerce, and on urban history. It notes that Skagway (located about 100 miles north of Juneau) was established as a result of an 1897 gold strike which began in the Klondike region of Canada's Yukon Territory, and it points out that even though Skagway's "boomtown" era lasted only briefly, it remains alive in
