Located 8 miles west at Cienega Creek, the Mescal Wash Site is an archaeological treasure trove that was occupied by various cultural groups over a span of 3,000 years, from 1200 B.C. to 1450 A.D. Excavations have revealed artifacts from the Hohokam, Mogollon, Trincheras, and other Sonoran indigenous groups, showcasing a rich tapestry of cultural interactions. The site's continuous occupation highlights its significance as a resource-rich area, offering insights into the region's prehistoric past.
These groups would have seen the whole southeastern Arizona as their lands to use for hunting, gathering, and living. While they have long moved on, they have left footprints to their unique existence in the Mescal area.
