Summary

Between November 2, 2009 and March 23, 2010, a Class III pedestrian survey of 3,358.91 acres (1,359.31 ha) was completed and divided into five parcels in Eddy and Chaves Counties, New Mexico (Lone Mountain Project Number 908-01). The lead agency for this project was the Bureau of Land Management - Carlsbad Field Office.

The task of this project was to inventory and characterize the archaeological landscape in portions of the Permian Basin MOA area that are under-represented by previous archaeological inventory. The data provided by this project will be utilized by the BLM Permian Basin Working Group to help guide future inventory and research projects in the Permian Basin MOA area.

The project area is within Eddy and Chaves Counties on the Henshaw Tank NM (1985); Maljamar NE, NM (1985); Pierce Canyon, NM (1968); Malaga, NM (1985); Red Bluff, NM (1985); and Ross Ranch, NM (1968) 7.5' USGS quadrangles. Lone Mountain archaeologists recorded 183 isolated occurrences and 87 newly discovered sites. Nine previously recorded sites were updated.

Twenty-eight of the sites examined have been recommended eligible for nomination to the NRHP, nine are recommended ineligible, and 59 have undetermined eligibility recommendations. All work was completed in compliance with applicable federal and state legislation and procedures designed to protect nonrenewable cultural resources, including Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended (PL 89-665), the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL 91-852), the Archaeological Resource Protection Act of 1979 (PL 96-95), and Executive Order 11593.
