Abstract:

The results of archaeological investigations at 36 sites in the Painted Rock Reservoir, Maricopa County, Arizona are reported. In-depth descriptions of 32 properties are provided as well as the results of laboratory analyses of a selected sample of ceramic, lithic, shell, and turquoise artifacts. Identified property types include rock feature sites, petroglyph sites, campsites, trails, ceramic and lithic scatters, village complexes, ground stone and chipped stone processing sites, and a lithic quarry. Hohokam and Patayan site affiliations are common, and historical and modern Papago site affiliations are common, and historical and modern Papago materials are present. The extent to which Archaic occupations are present is difficult to determine. Two historical Euroamerican sites are present. This study was undertaken to complete identification and documentation activities of a previous sample 10 survey of the reservoir Teague and Baldwin 1978. Preliminary evaluations of the information potential of the properties and management recommendations for them are provided.
