Where: Arizona · approx. 32.22, -110.97 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Santa Cruz River
What turns up: Deep territorial layers along the old presidio and Meyer Street district: hand blown squares, Hutchinson sodas, amber whiskey flasks, Chinese Bao Ding and opium tins from the barrio, and Mexican olive jar shards near the acequia lines by the Santa Cruz.
Access: Gray area.
The bed of the Santa Cruz is a contested navigable water question in Arizona and removing historic artifacts from a river bed is restricted; nearly all downtown ground is private or municipal and needs owner permission; nearby state trust and tribal parcels require separate permits, and artifacts over 100 years old on federal land are protected from disturbance without authorization.
