Popis: This report describes testing and data recovery excavations conducted in advance of the realignment of the Little Green Valley section, of State Route 260 between Payson and Heber. The work was sponsored by the Arizona Department of Transportation; the lead federal agency and landowner was the Tonto National Forest. Seven sites were investigated in the Little Green V alley section: Ponderosa Campground, AZ O :12:19/AR-03-12-04-1159 (ASM /TNF); Junco Springs, AZ O:12:87/AR-03-12-04-1437 (ASM/ TNF); Bonobos Vista, AZ O:12:88/AR-03-12-04-1438 (ASM/TNF); Plymouth Landing, AZ O:12:89/AR03-12-04-1411 (ASM/TNF); Elks End, AZ O:12:92/ AR-03-12-04-1162 (ASM/TNF); AZ O:12:90/AR-03- 12-04-1490 (ASM/TNF); AZ O:12:91/AR-03-12-04- 1386 (ASM/TNF). Additionally, a small survey related to the project identified AZ O:12:93/ AR-03-12-04-1507 (ASM/TNF). Site components date from the Early Agricultural period (circa 400 B.C.-A.D. 500) to the modern period of the original highway construction. The height of occupation at the largest site in the project area, Ponderosa Campground, was between the tenth and twelfth centuries A.D. The results of fieldwork, archival analysis, the analysis of artifacts and samples, and the discussion of human remains are described in this report. In this fourth section of the larger State Route 260 project, our results include: (1) a refinement of the chronologies built during the previous phases, particularly information about the Early Agricultural period; (2) the identification of a lithic quarry and intensive flaked stone production industry at Ponderosa Campground; and (3) insights from two single-component sites and the large multicomponent sites into the nature of settlement and the larger economic and social network of the sub-Mogollon Rim region.
