This document presents the results of burial investigations and limited archaeological data recovery investigations at Sites AZ O:5:155(ASM) and AZ O:5:156(ASM) within a proposed private development known as Simonton Ranch.

The project area is located less than one-half mile northwest of downtown Camp Verde in Yavapai County, Arizona.
