This document is a Section 110 transmittal letter for submitting a determination of eligibility (DOE) to the California State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The letter provides an overview of the archaeological work and historic research that has been performed for the site. It further discusses the re-examination of the site by Josh Smallwood in 2022. His additional testing in conjunction with the previous work supported a determination that the site was not eligible under any of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) criteria. The letter seeks concurrence from the SHPO for a DOE of not eligible for the NRHP and references an attached report that provides support for the evaluation.

Archaeological test excavations at nine sites and data recovery excavations at three sites in advance of highway realignment project in the Doubtful Canyon section of the SR 260—Payson to Heber project. A previously documented historic highway is also present in the project area. A small supplemental survey of additional right-of-way was conducted, although that work resulted in no newly identified sites.

We used ranch records and soil analyses to investigate the effects of cattle ranching on phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) balances in a humid, tallgrass savanna ecosystem in Tanzania. Over a 41-yr period between 1958 and 1999, the ranch supported an average of 10 435 cattle. These consumed an estimated 571 586 tons (t) of dry matter containing 692 t P and 6 230 t N. Of these nutrients, 162 t of P (23%) and 602 t of N (9.7%) were exported in animals leaving the ranch, while 222 t (32 %) P and 2 364 t of N (38 %) were transferred as excreta to the night corrals. The measured excesses of nutrients in the soil of the corrals were equivalent to 59% of all P and 19% of all N deposited in these areas over 41 yr. Total losses from the pastures amounted to 10.2% of P and 6.6% of N in the top 20 cm of tall grass savanna soil. These losses, especially of P, probably reduced the nutritional quality of the pastures and may have contributed to the reported decline in animal fertility. In addition, they may have promoted the spread of secondary woodland dominated by Vachellia (formerly Acacia) zanzibarica. Three general conclusions can be drawn from this study. First, humid tallgrass savannas on nutrient-poor soils are unsuitable for intensive livestock production. Second, over an extended period the loss of nutrients from cattle pastures can be ecologically significant. Ensuring the sustainability of grazing systems requires measures to counteract this loss, such as the use of shifting night corrals. Third, ranch records, while lacking the precision and detail possible in experimental studies, can provide valuable insights into long-term effects of ranching that would be difficult to obtain by other means., Rangeland Ecology and Management, 84

The cultural resources Class I Inventory consisted of a records review of the Roosevelt Lake flood control space. This study area falls within a larger area surrounding Roosevelt Lake that was the focus of Reclamation-sponsored cultural resources studies conducted from the mid-1970s through the 1990s as part of the Central Arizona Water Control Study Plan 6 environmental review and prescribed mitigation associated with increasing the height of the dam to its current height. Inventories conducted for Plan 6 resulted in the identification of 693 cultural properties, and the subsequent mitigative archaeological investigation of 139 prehistoric sites and 35 historic-era sites, and HAER documentation of the Roosevelt Dam and the Power Canal and Diversion Dam.

Objective of research. As deer are kept year-round on pasture (in summer in tundra in the northern coast of the Russian arctic; in winter — in forest-tundra and northern taiga), biogeocenosis and natural focality of most parasitic and infectious diseases were formed over the years. That should be considered when developing methods for combating them, and to determine the optimal timing of mass treatment and prevention measures. Materials and methods. The question naturally arises, which living and nonliving components ensure pathogen survivability, contribute to the emergence and spread of infectious and invasive diseases. Each disease is characterized by specific factors requiring careful examination and generalization based on the study of clinical records and epizootic diseases in reindeer of the European North of Russia. Results and discussion. Dominant diseases of reindeer in the European region of Northern Russia, requiring greater attention of veterinary experts and against which it is necessary to conduct a regular complex of veterinary, prevention and treatment measures are: anthrax, edemagenosis, cephenomiosis, necrobacillosis, echinococcosis, cysticercosis, rabies, leptospirosis, number of helminthoses (strongylatosis, monieziasis, cysticercosis, etc.). This is a brucellosis-free region, and for many tens years no outbreaks of FMD were reported. The vast majority of the tundra is located in the permafrost zone; the area is dotted with numerous canals, lakes, rivers, streams, marshes, between which in summer on shallow layered soil, grow bushes of willow, dwarf birch, berries, grass and lichen, the main food of deer. The fauna of the tundra is rich and diverse. Here live wolves, foxes, bears, rodents (lemmings, mice), rabbits, birds (geese, ducks, partridges, gulls) and other animals. In summer, “clouds” of midges (mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, flies) are flying in the air. In the region, there are still places virtually untouched by man. However, in recent years, intensive industrial development of the region began to carry out exploration and extraction of oil, gas and other minerals. Oil and gas pipelines, roads, power lines are built which certainly cannot affect negatively the extremely vulnerable nature of the North. For example, reindeer moss trampled or torn down by moving offroaders can be restored only after 7-10 years. Summer season in the North is a very short period, there are usually few warm and sunny days. These negative factors lead to reduced pastures and do not contribute to the growth of the deer population, their health status and fatness.

The planned realignment of State Route 260 (SR 260) between Payson and Heber by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) resulted in a multiphase archaeological investigation of the associated right-of-way and Area of Potential Effects (APE). The construction project includes 45.8 miles of highway. Numerous archaeological sites were identified during initial surveys in the project area along the western portion of the project area, below the Mogollon rim and on the Tonto National Forest (TNF). Archaeological sites are situated on the hills and terraces above permanent waterways, including Christopher Creek, Sharp Creek, Green Valley Creek, Tonto Creek, and Hunter Creek. Archaeological investigations within the project area are divided into six sections that include, from west-to-east: Lion Springs, Preacher Canyon, Little Green Valley, Kohls Ranch, Doubtful Canyon, and Christopher Creek. The Doubtful Canyon section is 3.5 miles long and is situated near the eastern end of the project area (Figure 1.1). This section overlaps the tie-ins constructed as part of the Kohls Ranch section. To date, archaeological investigations have been completed for the Preacher Canyon, Christopher Creek, Kohls Ranch, and Little Green Valley sections of the project area. The Sharp Creek Campground, a parcel adjacent to the Christopher Creek section, has also undergone testing and data recovery. In October 2009, nine sites in the Doubtful Canyon section were tested for eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) (Table 1.1). All the sites maintained their integrity, but only six had the potential to answer research questions about the prehistoric settlers of the sub-Mogollon Rim region and were considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register under Criterion D. After testing, two sites, AZ 0:12:120/AR-03-12-04-1860 (ASM/TNF), and Little Stinker, AZ O:12:121/AR-03-12-04-1861 (ASM/TNF), were considered ineligible for inclusion in the National Register. Research potential of the Sheep site, AZ 0:12:27 / AR-03-12-04-745 (ASM/TNF), Dittert's Quarry, AZ 0:12:116/AR-03-12-04-267 (ASM/TNF), and Transfer Station, AZ O:12:115/AR-03-12-04-265 (ASM/TNF), was exhausted during testing, and no further work was recommended. Data recovery was recommended for Flipping Bear, AZ O:12:28/AR-03-12-04-746 (ASM/TNF), the Spring site, AZ O:12:21/AR-03-12-04-1161 (ASM/TNF), and Tontozona Tarantula, AZ O:12:119/AR-03-12-04-1471 (ASM/TNF) (Herr and Stein 2009). Further significance testing was also recommended for the Morgan site, AZ O:12:117/AR-03-12-04-1402 (ASM/TNF). Additional testing and data recovery fieldwork was conducted between March 8 and April 22, 2010, within the APE of the Spring site, Flipping Bear, and Tontozona Tarantula. Work at the Spring site and Flipping Bear was substantial, as all features within the project right-of way were investigated. Historic wagon road, AZ 0:15:113/AR-03-12-04-652 (ASM/TNF), historic Forest Highway 11, AZ 0:12:33/AR-03-12-04-878 (ASM/TNF), and the Payson to Colcord phone line, AZ 0:12:34/AR-03-12-04-1312 (ASM/TNF), also cross the Doubtful Canyon section (Weaver 1998a). Most of the fieldwork and archival research on the road corridors and the telephone line was conducted in 2000, during the first section of the project (Herr, Stein, and Cook 2000; Herr, Thiel, and Stein 2000). A fourth site, AR-03-12-04-170 (TNF), identified as a quarry site by Dittert (1975), is located in the tie-in area between the Kohls Ranch and Doubtful Canyon sections; that site was investigated during the Kohls Ranch phase. This chert exposure lacked signs of cultural materials, and was considered ineligible for inclusion in the National Register (Herr and Stein 2001).

[ES] La arquitectura tradicional de la ciudad de Sevilla está caracterizada a lo largo de los siglos por la presencia de patios. Siendo éste el elemento principal y central de las tipologías residenciales. Se lleva a cabo una búsqueda de los inicios de estas tipologías, desde su origen hasta la época contemporánea. Analizando las clases de características surgidas en este ejemplo de tipologías que tendrán lugar en el centro histórico de Sevilla, destacando el barrio de Triana. Será ahí dónde se produzca el inicio de la vivienda colectiva, así como de los corrales tras un crecimiento de la población. Tras el estudio de las viviendas colectivas y de la casa patio sevillana en sus principios, la finalidad es analizar y establecer una conclusión de ejemplos contemporáneos que encontramos en la ciudad. Encontrando elementos en común con respecto a las tipologías residenciales que existen actualmente. Pasando por el estudio de la arquitectura que representa a grandes arquitectos como son Cruz y Ortiz. Y su obra fundamental de la casa en la calle María Coronel., [EN] The traditional architecture of the city of Seville is characterized throughout the centuries by the presence of courtyards. Being this one the main and central elements of the residential typologies. A research is carried out about the development of these typologies, from his origin up to the contemporary time. The different characteristics arisen in these typologies that come up in the historical center of Seville will be analzyed, emphasizing Triana's neighborhood. It is there where the beginning of the collective housing takes place, as well as that of the “corrals”, after a growth of the population. After studying collective housing and the Sevillian courtyard house in its beginnings, we intend to analyze and to establish a conclusion of contemporary examples that we find in the city. We will try to find elements jointly with regard to the residential typologies that exist nowadays, and will also study current architecture represented by great architects like Cruz and Ortiz, and more specifically his fundamental work of the house in the street María Coronel.

SRP requested that Logan Simpson conduct an intensive cultural resources survey of a 72.4-mile-long and 200-ft-wide (1,755-acre) segment of the SRP Coronado to Silverking 500-kV transmission line within the TNF and private land. This survey was requested for general inventory purposes and also in advance of proposed vegetation-maintenance activities within the project corridor. In addition, SRP may conduct maintenance or construction projects within the limits of the project corridor. Vegetation maintenance will be performed with mechanical mowing equipment, mounted on a track hoe or a rubber-tired frontend loader, and by hand-cutting using chain saws. All vegetation removal activities will be confined to the 200-ft-wide corridor with the exception of possible hazard tree removal, which would be accomplished using hand-cutting with chain saws only. Any disturbances that cannot be confined to the project corridor would be covered by a separate cultural resources survey once such areas are identified.

The University of Arizona Spring Field School was held at the Guevavi Mission, AZ EE:9:1 (ASM), from 2013 to 2015. A previous survey at the site had revealed that rodent burrowing was damaging a Mission-era (circa 1690s-1810s) midden. Vehicular traffic and weather-related erosion were damaging features in a dirt road. Among the goals of the fieldwork were to collect information from threatened features to then address several research questions. One question concerned the precontact history of the site. Numerous Early Agricultural period projectile points were previously found at the site. One area along the south edge of the site looked promising for an Early Agricultural period settlement; instead, a test unit revealed Sobaipuri and Hohokam artifacts. The Hohokam settlement, as revealed by pit structures and other features in the dirt roadbed and nearby areas, dates to the Colonial and Sedentary periods, from about A.D. 750 to 1150. It may be one of the largest Hohokam sites in this portion of the Santa Cruz River floodplain. The yet undiscovered Early Agricultural period settlement may lie in the floodplain of the river, with the recovered lithic artifacts having made their way to the site when incorporated into adobe bricks. Previous researchers identified an adobe structure, feature 20, and two areas with light-colored soil, Features 18 and 19, on the City of Nogales property. Another question was to determine the function of these three features. It was unknown if the structure was a multiroom residence or a church. Excavation of the northern room revealed it was a dwelling that had burned after it was abandoned. It was likely the home of some of the Christianized Native Americans at the mission. Feature 18 was revealed to be a pen and chute area for animal management, and Feature 19 was a corral. These types of features are not usually preserved at Spanish mission sites, due to their ephemeral nature and postmission disturbances. The unusual preservation of these animal management features provides significant information about how residents of the site took care of the horses, cattle, and sheep raised there. The final research question focused on the mission midden, feature 26, located on a steep slope on National Park Service property. Two 2-m square excavation units provided a sample of Mission-era and post-mission (1810s) trash, including Native American ceramics, faunal bone, plant remains, and items manufactured in Mexico, Spain, and China. The primary meat source was cattle, and residents ate a variety of Old World and New World plants. The oldest known peach pits and chili seeds in Arizona were recovered from the Guevavi Mission midden. The few imported goods revealed that trade networks allowed luxury goods from far-away places to be carried to the mission. The discovery of slag, lime, and copper ore in the upper portions of the midden verify findings made in the 1960s that Yaqui miners lived at the mission after it was abandoned. Data collected during the field school were used by students in their final class presentations. Those student papers have been edited and form the bulk of the text in this report. The new information from these excavations will help National Park Service personnel interpret their portion of the site. It may also spur efforts to help preserve the City of Nogales portion of the site, which is being affected by vehicular traffic, natural erosion, and cattle traffic.

Esta tesis doctoral se apoya en una base documental apenas conocida de cerca de 1.700 documentos o apeos del siglo XVI que describen inmuebles de la ciudad de Sevilla pertenecientes a la Catedral y a los hospitales de beneficencia del Amor de Dios, las Bubas, las Cinco Llagas, el Cardenal y el Espíritu Santo. Tras localizar, identificar y valorar dicha documentación se ha desarrollado una metodología propia de análisis para tratar la información aportada por dichas fuentes. Se han trascrito y volcado los textos en una base de datos, y a partir de éstos se han realizado dibujos con hipótesis en planta, alzado y volumetrías de gran parte de ellos, para facilitar su comprensión arquitectónica. Después se han agrupado en cuatro apartados atendiendo a su uso: casas, corrales de vecinos, mesones y tiendas. Ello ha permitido deducir sus principales invariantes o rasgos tipológicos, según las fuentes consultadas. Además, casi todos los inmuebles analizados se han identificado en el parcelario actual y se ha insertado su planta dentro de un plano hipotético de la Sevilla del siglo XVI que facilita su visión de conjunto. Por último, se ha aportado un glosario de más de 500 términos arquitectónicos y voces propios de los alarifes usados en la redacción de los apeos analizados. This doctoral thesis is based on 1700 barely known 16th century documents and surveys (books of written records of houses called ‘apeos’) which describe all kinds of buildings in the city of Seville belonging to the Cathedral and the charitable hospitals of Amor de Dios, Bubas, Cinco Llagas, El Cardenal and Espíritu Santo. After locating, identifying and evaluating the documentation, a special method of analysis has been developed to deal with the enormous amount of information provided by these sources. These texts describing the buildings have been transcribed and entered into a database and, from these, drawings have been made (including hypothetical distribution, elevation and volume plans) to facilitate the understanding of their original architecture. Then they have been grouped into four sections according to their use: houses, courtyard tenement housing (corrales), inns and shops. This has allowed us to deduce their main variants or typological features, based on the analyzed sources. In addition, almost all the studied properties have been identified and inserted in the current plans of the city to reconstruct a hypothetical plan of 16th century Seville that will facilitate an overall view of the time. Finally, a glossary of more than 500 specific terms of the alarifes (master builders) used in the analyzed surveys has been provided.

[EN] This thesis takes the Teatro Principal Valencia as a sample of study and raises questions to deepen the awareness of its history, architecture and acoustics. Our final objective has been to analyse and reconstruct the acoustic conditions of our theatre in different historical moments, providing a new way of approaching the Valencian architectural heritage with it. In addition to this, we intend to show the potentiality of our current tools of acoustic simulation and auralization for the study of the most widely deployed theatrical architectural typology in Europe in the seventeenth century: Italian baroque theatre.The Teatro Principal Valencia is a representative example of an Italian-style theatre because of meeting each and every formal characteristic that define this building typology. Inaugurated in the year 1832, it is the oldest theatre in Valencia and one of Spain's oldest Italian-style venues, prior even to pioneer projects of the Teatro Real de Madrid (1850), and the Gran Teatre del Liceu de Barcelona (1847).We have carried out archive research data, the screening of press, bibliographical research, as well as document consultation and compilation, planimetry and images (many of them unpublished), which have made the recovery of the history of the Valencian theatrical venue possible, blurred with the passing of time. That represented in itself an objective of this thesis, and as such it is presented in the section on results. This detailed historical study of our theatre has allowed us to select five moments in which its morphological differences could manifest changes in its acoustics: 1832, 1859, 1928, 1968, and 2015. Normalised acoustic measures have been carried out in the Teatro Principal, and we have developed three-dimensional computer models of the five selected morphologies. The current acoustic model has been adjusted with measures on-site. From the aforementioned model, volumetric, geometric measurements and absorption and/or diffusion coefficients have been introduced with the object of virtually revert each architectural intervention that our theatre has experienced, always basing ourselves on documented historical criteria. All of this has allowed us to rebuild the sonic history of the Teatro Principal Valencia, being able to compare the changes that its acoustic parameters have experienced in more than 180 years of its life. As a key outcome to this thesis, the geometrical model of the Teatro Principal has been studied thoroughly on its graphics realism through the use of texturization techniques and virtual photorealistic rendering, achieving a model that can experiment on auralizations in a striking immersive graphic environment (CAVE, PowerWall, etc.), opening the door to new lines of research., [ES] Este trabajo toma el Teatro Principal de Valencia como materia de estudio y plantea profundizar en el conocimiento de su historia, arquitectura y acústica. Nuestro objetivo final ha sido analizar y reconstruir las condiciones acústicas del teatro en diversos momentos históricos, aportando con ello una novedosa forma de acercamiento al patrimonio arquitectónico valenciano. Pretendemos, además, mostrar la potencialidad de las actuales herramientas de simulación acústica y auralización para el estudio de la tipología arquitectónica teatral más extendida en Europa desde el siglo XVII: el teatro barroco a la italiana.El Teatro Principal de Valencia es un ejemplo paradigmático de teatro a la italiana al reunir todas y cada una de las características formales que definen esta tipología edilicia. Inaugurado en el año 1832, es el decano de los teatros valencianos y uno de los recintos a la italiana en activo más antiguos de España, anterior incluso a los proyectos pioneros del Teatro Real de Madrid (1850) y del Gran Teatre del Liceu de Barcelona (1847). Hemos llevado a cabo trabajos de búsqueda en archivo, vaciados de prensa, investigación bibliográfica, así como consulta y recopilación de documentos, planimetría e imágenes (inéditas muchas de ellas) que han hecho posible la recuperación de la historia del recinto teatral valenciano, desdibujada en gran medida por el paso del tiempo. Todo ello ha constituido en sí mismo un objetivo de esta tesis, y como tal se presenta en el apartado de resultados. Este estudio histórico pormenorizado del teatro nos ha permitido seleccionar cinco momentos en los que sus diferencias morfológicas podrían poner de manifiesto cambios en su acústica: 1832, 1859, 1928, 1968 y 2015. Se han realizado medidas acústicas normalizadas en el teatro y hemos desarrollado modelos informáticos tridimensionales de las cinco morfologías seleccionadas. El modelo acústico actual ha sido ajustado con las medidas in situ. A partir de dicho modelo, se han introducido modificaciones volumétricas, geométricas y de coeficientes de absorción y/o difusión con objeto de revertir virtualmente cada una de las intervenciones arquitectónicas que ha experimentado la sala teatral, siempre basándonos en criterios históricos documentados. Todo ello nos ha permitido reconstruir la historia sonora del Teatro Principal de Valencia, pudiendo comparar los cambios que sus parámetros acústicos han experimentado en sus más de 180 años de vida. Como colofón a la tesis, se ha profundizado en el realismo gráfico del modelo geométrico del Teatro Principal actual mediante el empleo de técnicas de texturización y realidad virtual fotorrealística, habiendo conseguido un modelo que permite experimentar auralizaciones del Teatro Principal en un impactante entorno gráfico inmersivo (CAVE, ProwerWall, etc.) que abre la puerta a nuevas líneas de investigación., [CAT] Aquest treball pren el Teatre Principal de València com a matèria d'estudi i planteja aprofundir en el coneixement de la seua història, arquitectura i acústica. El nostre objectiu final ha estat analitzar i reconstruir les condicions acústiques del teatre en diversos moments històrics, aportant amb això una nova forma d' apropar-nos al patrimoni arquitectònic valencià. Pretenem, a més, mostrar la potencialitat de les actuals eines de simulació acústica i auralització per a l' estudi de la tipologia arquitectònica teatral més estesa a Europa des del segle XVII: el teatre barroc a la italiana.El Teatre Principal de València és un exemple paradigmàtic de teatre a la italiana ja que reuneix totes i cadascuna de les característiques formals que defineixen aquesta tipologia edilícia.

El model acústic actual ha estat ajustat amb les mesures in situ. A partir d'aquest model, s'han introduït modificacions volumètriques, geomètriques i de coeficients d'absorció i / o difusió a fi de revertir virtualment cadascuna de les intervencions arquitectòniques que ha experimentat la sala teatral, sempre basant-nos en criteris històrics documentats.

El siguiente Proyecto Final de Grado pretende realizar la rehabilitación de un corral de ganado situado en Cretas (Teruel) para darle uso de vivienda de turismo rural. Para llevarlo a cabo se ha seguido un estudio del corral tanto en el ámbito histórico como en la diagnosis de sus lesiones y la intervención necesaria. En la actualidad, el corral está prácticamente en ruinas debido a que es un edificio muy antiguo que ha estado deshabitado durante mucho años, además no se ha realizado ninguna intervención de rehabilitación por lo que presenta un avanzado nivel de deterioro, que con el paso del tiempo este envejecimiento esta repercutiendo en la estabilidad y estética de éste. Por tanto, este corral es un claro ejemplo del proceso de desaparición que están sufriendo los corrales aragoneses. La intención es darle prosperidad a este patrimonio arquitectónico para que pueda llegar a ser una vivienda de turismo rural con condiciones de habitabilidad. Se intentara reformar el corral con el propósito de dañar al mínimo la fisonomía rústica que presenta.

International audience; Studying protein diffusion informs us about how proteins interact with their environment. Work on protein diffusion over the last several decades has illustrated the complex nature of biological lipid bilayers. The plasma membrane contains an array of membrane-spanning proteins or proteins with peripheral membrane associations. Maintenance of plasma membrane microstructure can be via physical features that provide intrinsic ordering such as lipid microdomains, or from membrane-associated structures such as the cytoskeleton. Recent evidence indicates, that in the case of plant cells, the cell wall seems to be a major player in maintaining plasma membrane microstructure. This interconnection / interaction between cell-wall and plasma membrane proteins most likely plays an important role in signal transduction, cell growth, and cell physiological responses to the environment.

This report summarizes the inventory of Dine (Navajo) Traditional Cultural Properties (TCPs) at Fort Wingate Depot Activity (FWDA). FWDA as a whole is part of Dine Bikeyah (Navajoland) and is connected to and embedded in Dine sacred geographies. As such, it is part of a Dine traditional cultural landscape and is recommended eligible for inclusion on the NRHP as an historic district TCP. Three component landscapes at FWDA that also function as contributing elements to this historic district were identified during the TCP Inventory and are additionally recommended eligible for inclusion on the NRHP, as are the known 187 hogan sites, 107 sweatlodges, 203 livestock corrals, 329 Anasazi sites, and six shrines/offering locations. Because of the historical and cultural significance and integrity of association the Dine have with FWDA lands, their natural and cultural features and resources, it is vital that all future actions and cleanup efforts take into account Dine values, understandings, and beliefs through regular and continual consultation during the FWDA cleanup process.

Le taureau brave doit réaliser pendant la corrida des efforts physiques de nature très différentes alternant sprint, poussée et endurance. Pour cela il s'appuie sur une musculature adéquate qui doit être mise en place par une préparation adaptée. Notre travail à consisté, au travers l'observation de 24 taureaux depuis, l'élevage jusqu'à la corrida, à identifier les facteurs pouvant altérer les performances des animaux au cours de la lidia. Il apparaît, que dans les deux mois précédant la corrida, l'apport d'une ration équilibrée en nutriments énergétiques et supplémentée en antioxydants et en précurseur de glycogène peut augmenter le niveau de dépense énergétique des taureaux au cours de l'effort. Le transport ainsi que le séjour au corral peuvent fortement modifier les performances des animaux. Il est préférable que les animaux voyagent de nuit et séjournent soit suffisamment longtemps au corral (5 à 7 jours) soit arrivent le matin même de la corrida. Enfin, au cours de leur séjour au corral, les conditions alimentaires et environnementales peuvent également modifier le comportement des taureaux. Il sera nécessaire d'étendre cette étude à d'autres observations complémentaires avant de proposer de nouvelles recommandations pour les éleveurs, les impresarios ainsi que sur l'organisation des corrales.

During bullfights the bull (« toro bravo ») is requested to provide very different types of physical efforts, like sprints, upsurges or endurance. For all of these, he can rely on an appropriate musculature that is the result of a specific preparation. Through the observation of a number of bulls (24) from stock breeding to corrida, our work was intended to identify the factors that can impair the bull's performance at the “lidia” stage. There is evidence that in the two months period prior to the corrida, providing a wellbalanced proportion of energy-giving food, complemented with antioxidants and glycogens precursors, can increase the level of energy spent by the bull in his effort. The transport as well as the time spent in the corral can also strongly influence the bull's performance. As such, it is recommended that the travels be done at night and that the animals either stay 5 to 7 days in their shed, or arrive in the morning of the day of the corrida. Finally, while staying in the corrals, the food as well as the environment can change the bulls' behavior. Extending this review with additional observations will be necessary before suggesting new recommendations to bull breeders, impresarios or before rethinking how the corrals are set-up., Le taureau brave doit réaliser pendant la corrida des efforts physiques de nature très différentes alternant sprint, poussée et endurance.

Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) plans to construct an 88-mile-long 500-kV extra-high voltage transmission line linking the Pinal West, Santa Rosa, Pinal Central, Abel, and Dinosaur substations (ACC CEC Case No. 126). This report presents the results of Phase I data recovery (extent testing) and Phase II data recovery within a 40-m- (130-ft-) wide corridor at seven sites located on State Trust Land administered by the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) (ASLD ROW No. 16-112288) and at seven sites and nine loci on the Gila River floodplain that are on privately owned lands between Pinal Central and Dinosaur. The sites are situated in north-central Pinal County east of the town of Queen Creek, east of Coolidge; and southeast and south-south of Coolidge. Phase I data recovery investigations were undertaken at 14 sites: AZ AA:2:304 (ASM); AZ AA:2:305 (ASM), AZ AA:3:281, AZ U:10:20 (ASM), AZ U:14:417 (ASM), AZ U:15:1 (ASM)/Adamsville, AZ U:15:61 (ASM)/Frogtown, AZ U:15:97 (ASM), AZ U:15:264 (ASM), AZ U:15:276 (ASM), AZ U:15:296 (ASM), AZ U:15:432 (ASM), AZ U:15:559 (ASM), and AZ U:15:560 (ASM). The sites were previously recommended eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) (Henderson et al. 2009) and the investigations were undertaken to comply with the Arizona Antiquities Act, the State Historic Preservation Act, and as required by the Arizona Corporation Commission Certificate of Environmental Compatibility. Fieldwork methods followed those outlined in the treatment plans (Phase I and Phase II data recovery) developed to mitigate impacts to the sites (Lindeman 2009; Lindeman et al. 2009). Michael Foster, Ph.D. served as Principal Investigator, and field work was directed by J. Scott Courtright. This is Submittal 3 of the report.

Archaeological test excavations of nine sites and supplemental survey of additional right-of-way conducted in advance of highway realignment in the Doubtful Canyon section of the State Route 260 – Payson to Heber project.

Logan Simpson Design Inc. (LSD) has previously completed a cultural resources inventory of 18.3 miles of the existing Salt River Project (SRP) 230 kV Silver King to Goldfield electrical transmission line north of Superior, Arizona. SRP is upgrading the carrying capacity of the line (Figure 1). The cultural resources inventory resulted in the identification of 26 archaeological sites including 5 newly recorded and 21 previously recorded (Bild 2008). Ten of these sites are considered eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP); 16 are of undetermined NRHP eligibility. Upon review of construction plans, it was determined that 13 sites required some level of avoidance measures to avert being impacted by construction activities. The remaining 15 sites required no avoidance measures.

The Bureau of Reclamation has developed an archaeological site database for the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal main stem based on the Class III survey data that includes all previously recorded sites. An unknown number of these sites were either destroyed by construction or excavation, while others are no longer located within the CAP right-of-way (ROW). To assist Reclamation in checking the accuracy of its site database, Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) was asked to revisit 28 sites that had been identified in Reach 4 of the Fannin-McFarland portion of the CAP canal. This presents the results of the assessment. This is the report from the assessment. The photos taken during the project can be found at tDAR ID: 393755 Their photolog can be found at tDAR ID: 393754

SRP is planning to upgrade the current carrying capacity of 18.3 miles of the existing Silver King to Goldfield 230kV line. In order to accomplish this, SRP plans to “bundle” the existing 230kV conductors by adding a second conductor to each of the three existing single-conductor phases. To add the new conductors, SRP will need to re-open some original access roads, and the selected wire, puller, sleeving, and anchor sites used during the original 1978 line construction. The existing transmission line corridor has been previously surveyed for cultural resources (a corridor measuring 70 ft south and 220 ft north of the existing 230kV line and including the 500kV line) and was not re-surveyed for this project. LSD conducted a Class III cultural resource survey of a 50-ft-wide corridor centered on each of the access roads leading to the transmission line corridor. Some of these roads or small segments of these roads may need to be re-bladed or have fill added to allow equipment to approach the project area. Thirty-eight segments of access roads, as well as puller, wire, and anchor sites located outside the corridor were surveyed, totaling approximately 13.9 miles (84.3 acres). LSD also re-located previously recorded sites within the corridor in the vicinity of towers or access roads to verify site locations and boundaries. This report pertains to the portions of the project area on TNF and private land between the Silver King Substation and the TNF boundary. A separate report for portions of the project area on State Trust and private land west of the TNF boundary will be submitted to the Arizona State Land Department. This report was revised in February 2009. The original report was dated April 2008.

The Arizona Department of Transportation plans to widen State Route 85 to a four-lane freeway in the area between Buckeye and Gila Bend. This report presents the results of archaeological data recovery investigations conducted along State Route (SR) 85 for the Arizona Department of Transportation (Contract No. 02-59) by a research team assembled by the Office of Cultural Resource Management, Department of Anthropology at Arizona State University. The Area of Potential Effect (APE) was located between mileposts 121 and 147 on State Route 85 between the towns of Gila Bend to the south and Buckeye to the north. The Gila River Indian Community (CRMP) provided technical assistance on Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) and treatment, particularly trails, funded in part by the Pima-Maricopa Irrigation Project (P-MIP) and a National Park Service grant to support TCP inventory. The project consisted of the investigation of six sites, five of which were prehistoric and one that was historic. The project area is southwest of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The historic site (T: 14:96) was a Depression era African-American homestead occupied during the 1930s. For the five prehistoric sites, the results of the investigations were that three of the sites (T: 14:113, T:14:94, T:14:92) contained rock cairns and rock circles associated with trails, one site (Z:2:46) was a roasting pit very likely associated with ak chin agricultural fields dating to the Pioneer Period, and the remaining prehistoric site (T: 10:86) was an area of irrigated agricultural fields on the terrace of the Gila River. The trails in the project area were generally oriented east-west, and could have been used by occupants from settlements west of the project area along the Gila River for procurement trips to the bajada and the Maricopa Mountains for lithic and food resources. Some of the trails also provided direct routes to other settlements on the upper portions of the Gila River. Among the five investigated prehistoric sites, exclusively Hohokam wares were found at one site (T:10:86 [ASM]), exclusively Patayan wares were found at one site (T: 14:113 [ASM]), and a mixture of both wares was found at two sites (T:14:92 [ASM], T:14:94 [ASM]). No ceramics were recovered from Z:2:46 (ASM). Prehistoric occupation at the location of the historic site was not investigated. It appears that members of both Hohokam and Patayan cultural systems were present in the project area. An alternate explanation for the artifact distribution is movement of Patayan wares into the Hohokam area as a result of exchange. This is a revised report of the original dated September 15, 2003.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) initiated preparation of a new Environmental Impact Statement and Location/Design Concept Report in 2001 to consider alternatives to the findings of the 1988 South Mountain Freeway concept (SMCT 2001). In the summer of 2001, HDR Engineering, Inc. was contracted to provide services in connection with this project. The GRIC-CRMP was subcontracted to provide a Class I cultural resource overview of the study area (Burden 2002) and subsequently to perform a Class III cultural resource survey of any properties requiring archaeological coverage. As an integral part of this effort, the Class III survey was undertaken by the GRIC-CRMP to document cultural resources in the field that might be impacted by future highway construction in the alternative alignments (corridors) and to make management recommendations based on site eligibility.
