Between March 9 and April 6 2009, PaleoWest Solutions in Archaeology monitored approximately 45-50 meters (m) of utility trenching. Two trenches were excavated to a depth of approximately 2.25 m for the new Arizona Federal Credit Union (AFCU) building currently under construction. The longest trench, only a portion of which was monitored (approximately 35-40 m), ran across the entire width of the street. The second trench, also only a portion of which was monitored (approximately 10 m), was excavated across east bound lanes only. Both of these trenches will eventually continue on toward the south, into an area that has been previously cleared of archaeological remains by Soil Systems, Inc (SSI) (Breternitz 1994; Breternitz et al. 1993; Cable 1988; Foster et al. 1992; Howard 1989; Leonard 1998, 2008a; Leonard et al. 2008). The majority of the current monitoring project took place at night.
