Reward Mine and Associated Sites: Historical Archaeology on the Papago Reservation

This is the final report of the Vekol Hills Archeological Proj ect. The project was done to lessen the impact of proposed open pit copper mining on archeological resources within an area of the Papago Indian Reservation, Pinal County, Arizona. Archeological resources comprise the remains of Reward Mine, another turn-of-the-century mining camp, and a Papago camp of the same period. A program of data recovery, including mapping, surface collection, and excavation, was undertaken during 1979 in order to comply with provisions of Federal environmental legislation.
