History:

When BLM undertook this survey, Gwinn Vivian was Director of the Arizona State Museum. He was not part of the BLM survey team but had already done fieldwork in the 1960's centered on the elaborate road and water control systems. At that time, people thought the roads might be canals. Much of Gwinn Vivian's archeological interest has centered on pre-historic roads. In Arizona, Gwinn Vivian became the first Highway Salvage Archaeologist in 1964 and remained in that position through 1970. Arizona State Museum had begun an informal highway salvage program in 1955 in response to concerns that archaeological resources were being destroyed during highway construction.
