Abstract
ABSTRACTIn July 1966 under a contract with the Arizona Highway Department and the Bureau of Public Roads the Arizona State Museum in cooperation with the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted salvage excavations on two sites on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation near Forestdale, Arizona. Two phases of occupation were represented at one of the ruins investigated, the Skiddy Canyon Ruin. A kiva, pithouse and a number of burials show cultural affiliation with the Forestdale Phase dated between A.D. 600 and 800. A series of rectangular masonry rooms, a trash area, and burials were characteristic of the Linden Phase which has been dated provisionally between A.D. 1100 and 1200. A second site excavated, the Gobbler Tank site, is a small Linden Phase seasonal unit. Excavation of these sites has enabled a preliminary description of the Linden Phase in the Forestdale region.
