– San Tan Chapter of the Arizona Archaeological Society Shares the Archaeology of the Queen Creek Region with an Interested Public. The Queen Creek and San Tan area was once a fertile delta that brought prehistoric farmers, known as the Hohokam, to the area and kept settlers coming. Hundreds of years later came a stage stop on a route from Florence to Mesa. Now, a group of local archaeologists is forming a local chapter of the Arizona Archaeological Society to educate residents about the area’s history. The group’s first meeting is this month with speaker Bruce Phillips, a geomorphologist, or a specialist in soil and prehistoric canals. “We want to get people to realize what’s underneath their feet,” he said.
