Notes: Cultural Resource Report No. 40.   The Bureau of Reclamation identified areas to be used for borrow (a place where dirt is removed and transferred to a secondary area) in the construction of the New Waddell Dam.  The Waddell Project was concentrated between the drainages of the Agua Fria River and the New River, and was initially worked at 17 sites, with two added at a later date.  The sites consisted of large agricultural fields, work houses, some pit structures, resource procurement and processing sites, and a crematory site.  The sites are in the Northern Periphery of the main Hohokam locations in the Phoenix valley.  While this volume is not part of the two volume set Settlement, Subsistence and Specialization in the Northern Periphery (Archaeological Consulting Services, Cultural Resources Report No. 65, Green, ed., 1989) it could be considered a foundational document (pun intended).
