Class III (Intensive) Cultural Resources Survey of Five Well Sites on Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe Lands, Near Leupp, Navajo County, Arizona: Photos

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) investigated a potential well field southwest of the community of Leupp on the Navajo Nation, and north of Meteor Crater on Hopi Tribal lands. Five well sites had been identified to assess the overall potential for developing a well field to pump ground water for delivery by pipeline to the Peabody Coal Mine as well as to Hopi and Navajo communities. Each of the well site parcels was approximately 100 acres, for a total project area of approximately 500 acres. Well Site 1, Well Site Alternate 1, Well Site 2, and Well Site 3 are on Navajo Nation land; Well Site 4 (also known as the Sunshine Well) was on land owned by the Hopi Tribe. Under an on-call contract with Reclamation, Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) conducted an intensive Class III cultural resources survey of the five well sites to provide an inventory and assessment of cultural resources that might be affected by the proposed undertaking. Thirteen prehistoric and historic sites and 84 isolated occurrences were identified.

美国垦务局（U.S. Bureau of Reclamation，简称Reclamation）在纳瓦霍族领地（Navajo Nation）卢普社区西南侧，以及霍皮族部落土地上的陨石坑（Meteor Crater）北侧区域，针对一处潜在水井场开展勘查工作。本次勘查共确定5处井址，以评估开发水井场的整体可行性：该水井场可抽取地下水，通过管道将水资源输送至皮博迪煤矿（Peabody Coal Mine），同时服务霍皮族与纳瓦霍族社区的供水需求。每处井址地块面积约100英亩，项目总占地面积约500英亩。其中1号井址、1号备选井址、2号井址及3号井址均位于纳瓦霍族领地内；4号井址（亦称“阳光井”）坐落于霍皮族所有的土地上。受垦务局委托，依据双方签订的随叫随到服务合同，考古咨询服务有限公司（Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd.，简称ACS）对5处井址开展了高强度的第三类（Class III）文化资源调查，旨在对拟议工程可能涉及的文化资源进行清单编制与评估。此次调查共发现13处史前及历史遗址，以及84处孤立遗存。本数据集附带的照片均拍摄于此次调查期间。照片日志可通过tDAR编号393877获取，调查报告可通过tDAR编号393876获取。
