Description
The easiest and, therefore, the standard way to discuss the origins of highway salvage archaeology is to cite the Federal-Aid Highway and Highway Revenue Act of 1956 and the resulting Bureau of Public Roads Policy and Procedure Memorandum 20-7 and then to move on to other matters. It is certainly true that these documents constitute the legal basis on which the nation's highway salvage programs are built. However, limiting the discussion this way ignores the lengthy history of activities that led up to the passage of this basic legislation and the many difficulties of implementing it in each of the states. Moreover, it leaves out the efforts of the two individuals who paved the way for highway salvage archaeology in Arizona. The first of these individuals is Doroteo Arango from Rio Grande in the state of Zacatecas in Mexico, who presented himself to the world as Francisco Villa. Identified both as a revolutionary hero and as a brutal bandit, Pancho Villa played a controversial role in the Mexican Revolution. When President Woodrow Wilson recognized Villa's rival, the Constitutionalist Venustiano Carranza, as President of Mexico, Villa began attacking and killing Americans. After Villa crossed the border to raid Columbus, New Mexico in 1916, Wilson responded by sending General John J. Pershing and the U.S. Army on a punitive expedition to capture Pancho Villa. Wilson hampered Pershing by ordering him not to use the Mexican railroads to transport troops and equipment.
