Investigations of 20 prehistoric and historic sites in the Globe-Miami area were undertaken as the result of plans for the realignment of State Route 88 (SR 88) between Tonto National Monument and the junction of US 60 in the Globe-Miami area, Gila County. Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) carried out this study under contract to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Fieldwork was conducted on ADOT right-of-way on the Tonto National Forest (Forest) with special-use permits (Authorization Nos. 2034-19, 22, 23, 25, 26, and 3l, GLO23, GLO25) issued by the Forest under authority of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 and the Antiquities Act of 1906. Work was performed in accordance with the project’s data recovery plan (Doyel et al. 1996) and the site-specific work plans (Doyel and Hoffman 1997a; Doyel et al. 1997). Volume 1 provides an overview of the project, a summary of all phases of the data recovery program, and detailed descriptions of the excavated sites and non-mortuary features. While the predominant focus is on the prehistoric sites, which represent the majority of the sites investigated, historic components that occur at these sites are described as well. Rare historic Apache occupations identified as a result of excavations are reviewed.
