08 Pecos Field Trips 2008 Pecos Conference Field Trips In general the field trips are planned for Sunday morning so people on their way home can participate in one if they so choose. Participation may be limited, so sign up early! We have designed trips to go north, east, south and west from the Pecos camp ground and have planned the meet times supposing people can get going from there by about 7:00 am. NORTH 1. Wupatki/Citadel/Lomaki/Box Canyon Ruins, Wupatki National Monument Led by Todd Metzger, National Park Service Meet: Wupatki Visitors' Center on SR 89 north of Flagstaff Mall at 7:30 am. Limited to 13 people. Sponsored by the NPS and NAU. This tour will focus on recent architectural research at Wupatki National Monument, with an emphasis on evidence for inter-group conflict and the role of ethnic boundaries in the settlement of the Wupatki area. We will start with a walking tour of Wupatki Pueblo, where we will discuss results of recent NPS-sponsored research on the architectural history of Wupatki. New information on the chronology of Wupatki, contents of the pueblo, and its construction sequence will be discussed. The tour then moves to the Citadel/Lomaki/Box Canyon ruins, where recent mapping and excavation projects have provided new information on the nature of architecture, settlement patterns, agricultural practices, and ethnic boundaries in that area. Archaeological evidence for conflict will be discussed, along with recent theories about the possible functions of Citadel and other sites in the area. The tour will be conducted on established NPS trails, no special transportation is required. The sites are located at 4400 to 5500 ft. elevation, expect warm temperatures for the latter part of the tour. The tour will conclude before noon. For further information contact Todd Metzger at 520- 526-1157, x222. 2. Hopi Led by Kelley Hays-Gilpin, Museum of Northern Arizona and Northern Arizona University, and staff of the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office Destination, meeting time & place TBA EAST 3. Two Kivas and Other Sinagua Sites Led by Chris Downum, Northern Arizona University Meet: Winona exit of Interstate 40 (#311) east of Flagstaff at gas station at 9:00 am. This tour will begin at Winona village, a site traditionally believed to have had a strong Hohokam presence in the period immediately following the Sunset Crater eruption in the late AD 1000s. The tour then moves on to Ridge Ruin, a major Sinagua pueblo (AD 1080 to 1175) with a substantial pit house component and twin ballcourts. The tour concludes at the Two Kivas site, excavated by John McGregor of the University of Illinois in 1962 and 1964. We will describe and discuss unpublished results from the ’62-’64 excavations, as well as Dr. McGregor’s interpretations of the site. John McGregor was convinced that Two Kivas was occupied by residents of Ridge Ruin, who moved their settlement about a mile to the north around AD 1170. 4 Chavez Pass Locality Led by Peter J. Pilles, Coconino National Forest Meet: Meteor Crater exit of Interstate 40 at gas station at 9:00 am Details TBA. 5. Chevelon Ruin Led by Richard Lange, Arizona State Museum Meet: McDonald’s parking lot, Winslow, AZ, (exit #253 on Interstate 40) at 9:00 am People should plan to get off at Exit 253, at the North Park Drive exit (which is also where the exits are for WalMart on the North side of I-40 and McDonalds and Basha's on the south side). Take North Park Drive south about 2 blocks. We can plan to meet at 9:00 am at the big parking lot behind the McDonalds, and slightly over toward the Basha's. That way people can grab a late snack for breakfast and a pit stop before heading out to Chevelon. Chevelon Ruin will be about a 40-minute drive from Winslow, and should be accessible to almost any vehicle. We can car pool a little at McDonalds if someone is really worried. The only problem might come with an active monsoon season that would make parts of the road in to Chevelon Ruin impassable to anyone, so we might have to go to Plan B if that happens (eg, going to Homolovi 1 and Homolovi 2, or just one of those, etc.). SOUTH 6. Sycamore Canyon and Hackberry Basin south of Camp Verde Led by Jerry Ehrhardt, Verde Valley Archaeology Society Meet: McDonald’s at Camp Verde exit (#287) of Interstate 17 at 9:00 am. A field trip to Sycamore Canyon near Camp Verde (50 miles south of Flagstaff) will include an overview of the full coverage archaeological survey of the canyon. Over 150 sites were found and recorded along a seven-mile stretch of this canyon. We’ll start at an easily accessible prehistoric racetrack site on State Route (SR) 260 south of Camp Verde to point out the survey area and several Honanki Phase (AD 1150-1300) hilltop pueblos on the south side of the canyon. We will discuss the regional trails, the line-of- sight network, and the location of the habitation structures and agricultural fields. From the stop on SR 260, we’ll drive 5 miles south of Sycamore Canyon on Fossil Creek Road to Hackberry Basin where we will hike about 2 miles roundtrip to a 75-room pueblo called Dorens Castle which dates in the period AD 1250-1330. You will need a high clearance vehicle to drive to the Hackberry Basin location. Car pools can be arranged from the McDonalds located on the southwest corner of Interstate (I 17) and SR 260. For those who can stay longer, another racetrack in Hackberry Basin and associated Honanki-phase sites can also be seen. Needed: High clearance vehicle; hat; water; lunch; good hiking boots 7 Perry Mesa Agricultural Landscapes Led by Hoski Schaafsma, Arizona State University Meet: Bloody Basin Road exit of Interstate 17 (exit #259) south of Cordes Junction at 9:00 am on the east side. From the meeting point we can caravan along Bloody Basin Road to the site of Bull Tank Farm where some of the most extensive contiguous agricultural terracing that we have mapped is easily accessible. At this site we can tour two linear “racetrack” features, extensive Perry Mesa-style agave gardens, two small stone masonry sites and sundry other features. For people who would like to see more, we can hike to La Plata Ruin (an 80-room pueblo dating to the AD 1300-1425 period) through the ancient fields or drive over and tour the ruin. Hoski imagines that this will take two or three hours. If people are interested in seeing more of Perry Mesa you can have lunch and then head south and then west to Pueblo Pato to see the 200 acres of agricultural features surrounding those ruins including grid-gardens, terraces and agave fields. Hoski will have maps of everything we have mapped up to that point and information handouts regarding our overall work on Perry Mesa. Needed: Lunch; water; more water (it is likely to be hot); sturdy hiking shoes due to the rocky nature of Perry Mesa; hat and sunscreen WEST 8. Cohonina Archaeology of Sitgreaves Mountain Region Led by David R. Wilcox, Museum of Northern Arizona, and Neil Weintraub, Kaibab National Forest Meet: Pitman Valley Road exit (#278) of Interstate 40 west of Flagstaff, north side (at Route 66 interpretative sign) at 9:00 am. We will drive north on Pitman Valley Road (paved) to a good gravel road and stop first to see a typical Cohonina site with a diversity of architecture dating in the early and middle AD 1000s. Using his geographic information system (GIS) Neil will show us the larger regional context of this site and we will discuss Cohonina archaeology in general. We will then drive in on a dirt road and stop to hike about 1/3 mile one way to the regional ceremonial center of Walavudu, a walled plaza site dating in the early and middle AD 1000s. We will also go farther in to see where the Rolling Rock site was excavated by the MNA/NAU Archaeological Field School and the Verde Valley Archaeology Society. Its three pithouses and two jacal structures and the 30 tree- ring dates recovered will be discussed with handouts. After lunch, for those who can stay longer, we will drive around to the northeast and Neil will conduct us to the RS Hill obsidian source and to a hilltop site located nearby. Needed: Lunch; hiking boots; water; hat. .

  • Chapter 3. Management Areas
    Chapter 3. Management Areas Introduction to Management Areas Management areas are areas that have similar management intent and a common management strategy that are more specific than forestwide guidance provided in Chapter 2. This direction does not substitute for or repeat forestwide direction, but rather provides additional direction for the applicable area. In the event that a plan decision in this section and the forestwide component in another section conflict, the more restrictive plan decision generally prevails. A project or activity-level evaluation, however, may be required to resolve the conflict; generally, however, the more restrictive plan decision prevails. Some management areas are special areas that have been designated by Congress or an office of the Executive Branch. They are managed to protect the special features or character for which they were designated and must be managed in accordance with relevant law, regulation, and policy and any area- specific management plan, such as the Verde River Comprehensive River Management Plan. Because of the complication of carrying forward direction from the previous forest plan there are two management areas that overlay the Sedona-Oak Creek Management Area (MA). The Oak Creek Canyon and House Mountain-Lowlands MAs are both subject to direction for the Sedona-Oak Creek MA and have unique direction that applies only to these overlay areas. In addition, there are several guidelines in the Sedona-Oak Creek MA to which the House Mountain-Lowlands MA is an exception. Scenery desired conditions (desired landscape character) for wilderness and wild and scenic rivers is described in the MA direction. For other management areas, see the Landscape Character Zones for this direction.

  • A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated with FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona
    A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated With FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona Prepared for: Verizon Wireless Tempe, Arizona Prepared by: Terracon Consultants, Inc. Tempe, Arizona Terracon Project No. 65157582 August 2018 ABSTRACT Report Title: A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated with FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona Report Date: August 2018 Agencies: Federal Communications Commission, Arizona State Historic Preservation Office Project Sponsor: Verizon Wireless (Verizon) Project Description: Verizon constructs and collocates telecommunications facilities in Arizona. Due to the involvement of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the projects, they are considered federal undertakings subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviews FCC-licensed undertakings pursuant to two nationwide programmatic agreements. Some of Verizon’s proposed undertakings may be found by the FCC and SHPO to have an adverse effect on historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The purpose of this General Historic Properties Treatment Plan (General HPTP) is to streamline the resolution of adverse effects to historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the NRHP by Verizon-sponsored undertakings on private lands in Arizona. This streamlined resolution will also include the preparation of a project-specific addendum to the General HPTP. The General HPTP does not apply to state, county, municipal, or Tribal lands including private lands within tribal reservation boundaries, or to lands under federal jurisdiction. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Section 1.

  • KIVA INDEX: Volumes 1 Through 83
    1 KIVA INDEX: Volumes 1 through 83 This index combines five previously published Kiva indexes and adds index entries for the most recent completed volumes of Kiva. Nancy Bannister scanned the indexes for volumes 1 through 60 into computer files that were manipulated for this combined index. The first published Kiva index was prepared in 1966 by Elizabeth A.M. Gell and William J. Robinson. It included volumes 1 through 30. The second index includes volumes 31 through 40; it was prepared in 1975 by Wilma Kaemlein and Joyce Reinhart. The third, which covers volumes 41 through 50, was prepared in 1988 by Mike Jacobs and Rosemary Maddock. The fourth index, compiled by Patrick D. Lyons, Linda M. Gregonis, and Helen C. Hayes, was prepared in 1998 and covers volumes 51 through 60. I prepared the index that covers volumes 61 through 70. It was published in 2006 as part of Kiva volume 71, number 4. Brid Williams helped proofread the index for volumes 61 through 70. To keep current with our volume publication and the needs of researchers for on-line information, the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society board decided that it would be desirable to add entries for each new volume as they were finished. I have added entries for volumes 71 through 83 to the combined index. It is the Society's goal to continue to revise this index on a yearly basis. As might be expected, the styles of the previously published indexes varied, as did the types of entries found. I changed some entries to reflect current terminology.

  • Q. What Is a Docent? a Docent Is Someone Who Interacts with the Public at the Forest Service Heritage Sites in the Sedona Area
    Cultural Resources / Becoming a Docent FAQ September 2018 Q. What is a docent? A docent is someone who interacts with the public at the Forest Service heritage sites in the Sedona area. The goal is to provide interpretation of the site for a greater visitor experience, education on site etiquette for these sites and any other sites that the visitor may encounter on their own, and protect the site by monitoring for inappropriate behavior by visitors. Q. Where do docents volunteer? Volunteers have a choice of working at the three Heritage sites in the Red Rock district of the Coconino National Forest: Palatki, V-Bar-V, or Honanki. You can elect to volunteer at any or all of these sites. Website: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/coconino/recreation/?cid=stelprdb5299994&width=full Q. Why are docents needed? We receive 25,000 visitors at each site each year. Due to past (and recent) issues with graffiti and ongoing threat of abuse, these sites are only open to the public on fixed days and hours. Specific areas are viewable only if there is a docent present to monitor, interpret, and educate. Q. What are the working hours? Palatki and V-Bar-V are open from 9:30 am until 3:30 pm. Honanki is open from 9:30 am until 4:00 pm. It is usually recommended that a volunteer spend an entire day at Palatki. V-Bar-V is conducive to full day or half day shifts. Q. What days can I volunteer? Palatki is open 363 days a year (Closed for Thanksgiving and Christmas) V-Bar-V is open Friday through Monday.

  • Fact Sheet Overview
    southwestlearning.org MONTEZUMA WELL Prehistory FACTOVERVIEW SHEET USGS/R.H. JOHNSON Montezuma Well, located in the Verde Valley of north-central Arizona, is a natural sinkhole that formed some 11,000 years ago when the limestone roof above collapsed. The Well was long the home of first Hohokam, Sinagua, and later, Yavapai and Apache people, and remains a source of irrigation water for the Verde Valley to this day. The Well is also a unique habitat in which several species are endemic (found nowhere else in the world), having adapted to the Well’s distinctive wa- ter chemistry. Environment The water in Montezuma Well has unusually high levels of dissolved carbon dioxide (nearly 100 times higher than most aquatic environments) and arsenic, as well as calcium and other chemicals. This combination prevents fish from living Looking south across Montezuma Well. within the Well, but is also responsible for the evolution of the five endemic species found within the Well: a diatom Gom( - allela montezuma), a leech (Motobdella montezuma), a water phonema montezumense), an amphipod (side-swimmers; Hy- scorpion (Ranatra montezuma), and a spring snail (Pyrgulop- sis montezuma), as well as several other species suspected of being endemic, but not yet formally described as such. Phytoplankton serve as the base of the Well’s simple food chain. These are eaten by the amphipods, which in turn, are eaten by the leeches. Each day at sunset, the amphipods rise to the surface to feed on algae, and the leeches follow, hunting the amphipods in the dark of the night (Govidich and Bain 2005).

  • Heritage Resources Specialist Report
    Forest Plan Revision DEIS Heritage Resources Specialist Report FINAL Submitted by: __/s/ _________________________ Peter J. Pilles, Jr., Coconino National Forest, Forest Archaeologist Preparers and Contributors section: Peter J. Pilles, Jr. Education: BA, Arizona State University, 1967 Years of Experience: 45 for: Coconino National Forest Date: June 30, 2011 Revised: Sept. 9, 2013 The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination against its customers, employees, and applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal, and where applicable, political beliefs, marital status, familial or parental status, sexual orientation, or all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program, or protected genetic information in employment or in any program or activity conducted or funded by the Department. (Not all prohibited bases will apply to all programs and/or employment activities.) Preface The information in this specialist report reflects analysis that was completed prior to and in conjunction with the completion of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the revision of the 1987 Coconino National Forest Land Management Plan (the Plan). The primary purpose of specialist reports associated with the DEIS is to provide detailed information to assist in the preparation of the DEIS. As the DEIS was prepared, review-driven edits to the broader DEIS resulted in modifications to some of the information contained in some of the specialist reports. As a result, some reports no longer contain information and analysis that was updated through an interdisciplinary review process and is included in the DEIS in its entirety.
