Popis: The COP Archaeology office reviewed the project and provided recommendations in an August 20, 2008 Archaeological Assessment. The COP Archaeology Assessment notes that the eastern edge of the project area located in an area that has been disturbed by prior utility installations. Several prehistoric canals have been previously recorded within the project area. In addition, segments of the Maricopa Canal and the South Branch of the Maricopa Canal are located along the northeastern and southern edges of the project area, respectively. Also, a portion of the Coronado Historic District is located in the southwestern corner of the project area. A previous archaeological project conducted adjacent to the project area recommended archaeological monitoring due to the potential for subsurface deposits (Kennedy 2005). The COP Archaeological Assessment recommends that archaeological monitoring be conducted at the following locations: the plotted locations of the Maricopa Canal and its south branch; and within 50 ft. of the plotted locations of the prehistoric canals. Due to the extent of previous ground disturbance, no archaeological work was recommended for the project area along 16th Street. With one exception, all excavation within the areas recommended for monitoring was observed by a qualified archaeologist. Five isolated prehistoric features were found as a result of the monitoring. The features consist of three canal segments, a pithouse, and an indeterminate pit. This is a revised report.
