Kirtland Air Force Base Geoarchaeologic Landform Analysis Project (GLAP), Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (2009)
DOCUMENT Full-Text James D. Gallison. J. David Kilby. Michael H. Jennings.

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....

Research Design to Mitigate the Adverse Effect on NM 0:3:1:11 (LA 87432), Kirtland Air Force Base (1981)
DOCUMENT Full-Text James B. Rodgers.

At the request of the U.S. Air Force, the Center for Anthropological Studies has completed a research design to mitigate the ongoing natural erosion of NM 0:3:1:11 (LA 87432). This is a prehistoric Rio Grande Anasazi habitation site believed to have been used during A.D. 1100-1200. The acceptance and use of this research design to guide the recovery of this site's archaeological data is considered justification for making a determination of no adverse effect upon it.
