Sorry this took me so long to get to.
Following is the City of Phoenix Geocaching policy as presented to us at the
land management meeting on September 30th. I have also attached it as a
Microsoft Word document.

Archaeology Section
Geocaching
The City of Phoenix contains many archaeological sites within its
boundaries, especially in its mountain preserves and open spaces. These
archaeological sites have great scientific and cultural value, but are
fragile, irreplaceable, and potentially subject to accidental harm or
intentional vandalism. Many of the sites are not marked or identified by
signage so as not to attract attention to them. In order to best preserve
these sites, no activities are allowed at the sites that could directly or
indirectly cause harm, or broadcast their locations to the general public.
Pursuant to PCC 24-36, Entering park areas closed to public se, and PCC
24-37, Vandalism in a park, Geocaching at archaeological sites located on
City of Phoenix property is not allowed. Violation of these ordinances is a
Class 1 misdemeanor. Any geocaches that are found at archaeological sites
will be immediately removed.
