The Roosevelt Platform Mound Study (RPMS) was one of three mitigative data recovery studies that the Bureau of Reclamation funded to investigate the prehistory of the Tonto Basin in the vicinity of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. The series of investigations constituted Reclamation's program for complying with historic preservation legislation as it applied to the raising and modification of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. Reclamation contracted with the Arizona State University Office of Cultural Resource Management (OCRM) to complete the research for this investigation.
The RPMS was an eight year archaeological research project that began in April 1989. It focused on sites of the Salado period, especially on platform mounds and the residential compounds clustered around the mounds. The study examined sites within four archaeological site complexes, created only for project administrative and management purposes. It investigated sites in the Pinto Creek Complex, a group of large and small villages that were part of extensive settlement on the south side of the Salt River. For administrative purposes only, the complex was divided into two groups of sites referred to as "management groups," one east and one west of Pinto Creek wash. Sites to the east are in the Livingston Management Group; those to the west are in the Schoolhouse Management Group.
This report is the eighth volume in the RPMS report series (the Roosevelt Monograph Series) and the sixth volume that serves primarily as a site description report. It discusses all the sites in the Schoolhouse Management Group, except for the Schoolhouse Point Mound (AZ U:8:24[ASM]/AR-0321-06-13a[USFS]). In total, the volume presents 23 site descriptions. It also presents some of the analyses and integrated conclusions that address the project research objectives that Bureau of Reclamation and Tonto National Forest archaeologists outlined in the RPMS research design (Rice 1990a).
Another publication describes the set of sites east of Pinto Creek, in the Livingston Management Group (Jacobs 1994a). A third publication reports on the Schoolhouse Point Mound, AZ U:8:24(ASM)/AR-03-12-0613a(USFS) (Lindauer 1996b), a site west of Pinto Creek that is within the Schoolhouse Management Group and the largest site on Schoolhouse Point Mesa.
This two-part report is the seventh and final site description volume for the Roosevelt Platform Mound Study, an eight-year archaeological research project in the Tonto Basin of central Arizona that began in April 1989. It was funded by the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior, and was conducted by the Office of Cultural Resource Management in the Department of Anthropology at Arizona State University. The work was performed under a permit from the Tonto National Forest.
The Cline Mesa sites reported in this volume were in the Cline Terrace Complex. The Cline Mesa sites total 35 in number and include all sites in the Cline Terrace Complex with the exception of Cline Terrace Mound, the large platform mound in the center of the complex.
The Schoolhouse Point Mound Data tables provide a summary of the artifacts recovered during Arizona State University (ASU), Office of Cultural Resource Management's (OCRM) Roosevelt Platform Mound Study (RPMS) excavations at Schoolhouse Point Mound (AZ U:8:24(ASM), AR-03-12-06-13a(USFS)). The Schoolhouse Point Mound table Shell Artifacts from Screened Contexts presents a summary of the shell artifacts recovered from excavated contexts that are screened. The table lists designated archaeological contexts - strata - at the site, and then provides the frequency (count) of different shell artifact types for each stratum. The strata represent major natural or cultural depositional events such as erosional fill, roof fall, floor contexts, and sterile substrate. Strata are depicted as horizontal rows of interconnected boxes on a Harris Matrix. Within a feature, each stratum is designated by the feature number (e.g., 10, 11, 12, etc.) and a letter that designates a particular stratum (e.g., A, B, C). The letters are assigned in descending order. Mixed levels and artifacts collected out of context are designated by a "?". Artifacts from each feature (or mixed context) are tallied according to strata. Please see column metadata for further detail. Please also see the data table "Schoolhouse Point Mound Data: Strata" for further data about each stratum, including the assigned stratum type, at the following tDAR url: https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394231 The Schoolhouse Point Mound Data tables were originally published on the Roosevelt Platform Mound Monograph Series No. 6 titled "The Place of the Storehouses, Roosevelt Platform Mound Study: Report on the Schoolhouse Point Mound, Pinto Creek Complex, Part 2." The tables were published in an appendix at the end of the volume. Please see the report volume at the following tDAR URL:

This dataset is a subset (containing records of the dams present in the state of Arizona) of the National Inventory of Dams (NID). The NID database contains information on 79,777 dams throughout the United States and its territories. The National Inventory of Dams began in 1972 with the National Dam Inspection Act and continues to be updated with the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 and 1996. The Corps of Engineers is authorized to maintain and publish the inventory. Significant changes have been made to the inventory data over the last 20 years, including the addition of new dam records and removal of breached dams, and duplicate dam records. The data is submitted from all 50 states, US territories and 16 federal agencies. The NID includes all high and significant hazard potential classification dams. Low hazard potential dams must exceed 25 feet in height and15 acre-feet in storage or exceed 50 acre-feet in storage and 6 feet in height. This inclusion criteria is applied to all dams submitted to the NID. The Corps calculates two fields, NID height and NID storage, which are the maximum values in their multiple respective fields and these values are used in the inclusion criteria process. Since the last update in 2001, one new field, submit_date, has been added. This field represents the date the agency submitted the data to the Corps of Engineers. All 109th congressional information contained in the NID was populated based on a GIS query of the dam coordinates. If a dam has no coordinates (noted as -999.999, -999.999 in the database), no congressional information is associated with that dam.Tabular data was downloaded from the National Inventory of Dams (https://nid.sec.usace.army.mil) for Arizona. Layer was created by the Map and Geospatial Hub using the coordinate information contained in the tabular data.
Integrated dataset of ceramic survey and excavation data from CARP, OBAP, HARP, ULCPP, EMVPP, and RCAP projects. Dataset has provenience, collection type, ceramic type and ceramic form. It has 45,995 entries representing 242,592 potsherds. This integrated database was created using the public integration at https://core.tdar.org/workspace/integrate/930.
