| Popis: | This book presents the results of the archaeological investigations that were conducted along then Light Rail route before and during its construction. As with any project that receives federal funding, METRO was legally required to undertake archaeological investigations along the project corridor; but production of this volume reflects not only METRO's commitment to legal compliance with environmental laws, but also the commitment of the cities of Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa to preserve and protect the rich prehistoric and historic heritage upon which they are built— a heritage that is reflected in the very name of Phoenix. As a result of our investigations, we encountered a wealth of archaeological materials, investigated 1,049 features, and recovered over a quarter of a million artifacts— not surprising given that the Light Rail route traverses numerous prehistoric villages that were occupied by the Hohokam about 1,000 years ago. While only a very few of these artifacts can be described in this volume, most of them are curated (stored under controlled conditions so they can be preserved for future generations of researchers) at three local museums— Pueblo Grande Museum in Phoenix, the Tempe Historical Museum in Tempe, and the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa. Here we discuss some of the more interesting prehistoric and historic artifacts and features that we found, and relate how their analysis has advanced what we know about the prehistoric and early historic occupations of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Central Phoenix/East Valley Light Rail Transit Project (CP/EV) is a 31.85-km (19.8-mile) public transit project constructed by Valley Metro Rail, Inc. (METRO), a nonprofit corporation formed by the Cities of Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, and Glendale to plan, design, construct, and operate the light rail transit system. Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) was responsible for conducting archaeological monitoring tasks at selected locations along the line throughout the construction phase of the project, and preconstruction testing and data recovery at the prehistoric habitation sites of Pueblo Grande and La Plaza. From February 2005 through February 2007, ACS provided these services under contract to PBS&J-PGH Wong Engineering, METRO’s Contract Administration Consultant (CAC); beginning in March 2007, ACS was under direct contract to METRO. The project was funded in part by the FTA and therefore was considered an undertaking subject to consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended), and the National Environmental Policy Act. |
