Abstract
Between 1989 and 1993, the Bureau of Reclamation funded four archaeological projects in theTonto Basin of central Arizona, all associated with the modification of the Theodore Roosevelt Dam that would eventually result in the flooding of many of the archaeological sites in the area. The projects were assigned different research objectives and were conducted by separate research teams. A large sample of the 700 sites in the region was selected for varying degrees of excavation, and the major portion of this article describes the techniques used in the excavation and survey of the selected sites.
