Notes: Survey of more than 7,000 acres on the Ak Chin Indian Reservation yields 51 archaeological sites from Hohokam and historic Papago cultures.  The archaeologists involved believe the sites “as a group” are eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, and that irrigated farming poses a threat to the sites.
