The Center for Anthropological Studies just completed an intensive archaeological survey of a second portion of Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. The actual project area includes 3,955 acres in southcentral Bernalillo County. Fifty-nine isolated artifactual materials and 12 archaeological sites were recorded. Collectively, they represent a cultural history of about 10,700 years. The three major prehistoric sites primarily reflect hunting and stone tool manufacturing activities of the Archaic...

The Center for Anthropological Studies completed an intensive archaeological survey of about 1,253 acres located in the south-central part of Kirtland Air Force Base. Seven significant archaeological sites and 230 loci of isolated artifacts were recorded. The prehistoric archaeological resources are interpreted to represent the seasonal use of this area as a supplementary resource zone by Rio Grande Anasazi people between about A.D. 1050 and A.D. 1350. The historic resources, in contrast,...

An archaeological survey of 390 acres of Kirtland Air Force Base was undertaken and completed by the Center for Anthropological Studies. Thirteen isolated loci produced 18 prehistoric artifacts. Six archaeological sites were located, recorded, and partially collected. One site is assigned to the Rio Grande Coalition Period (A.D. 1200-1325), and represents a temporary encampment. The five historic sites relate to early twentieth century (1900-1930's) mining and ranching activities.

Sandia National Laboratories and the Center for Anthropological Studies, both of Albuquerque, New Mexico, have entered into a cultural resource management project (Document No. 44-1498). The primary objectives are: 1) to conduct an intensive archaeological survey of 7,100 acres of land to find out what, if any, cultural resources are located within the project boundary; 2) to assess the significance of such finds, and evaluate each in terms of the criteria found in 36 CFR 60.6 for eligibility...

Kirtland Air Force Base is the location of abundant archaeological sites found in the Manzanita Mountains and lower slopes east of the Rio Grande. The goal in this study is the development of a geoarchaeologic model identifying the depositional units of Quaternary age at Kirtland Air Force Base that may preserve buried cultural deposits. The model utilizes the geologic mapping results from previous studies and identifies additional Quaternary units in areas where this information was missing....

This report evaluates the applicability of several near-surface geophysical methods to intrasite archaeological prospection in New Mexico. The Investigations explored the effectiveness of resistivity, gradiometer, magnetometer, ground penetrating radar, and magnetic susceptibility techniques for verifying the presence and nature of architectural and other cultural features at Kirtland Air Force Base. The research involved the application of these techniques to five sites (LA 107488, LA 53672, LA...
