Book excerpt: Project Description: In 2000 and 2001, SRI, completed phased archaeological data recovery at the Mescal Wash site (AZ EE:2:51 [ASM]), located at the Marsh Station Traffic Interchange and Pantano Railroad Overpass, Interstate 10, Pima County, Arizona. Phase 1 fieldwork was conducted between June 19 and July 27, 2000; Phase 2 fieldwork was conducted between January 16 and June 15, 2001. A total of 1,197 field person-days was expended during these periods. This work was conducted in support of the reconstruction of the existing interchange and overpass by the Arizona Department of Transportation. During the investigations, SRI identified 2,314 archaeological features, of which 474 features (not counting intramural subfeatures) were excavated. The excavated features included 97 structures and 377 extramural features (48 of which were burials).
