In 1982, Cultural Heritage Research Services, Inc. conducted an on-ground prehistoric and historical archaeological cultural resources survey within the Madera Canyon and Archeological Area IV Project Areas on Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. A total of 18 cultural resources were located. Sixteen of these sites were affiliated with Amerindian cultures spanning the early Archaic through the Historic periods. The remaining two sites consisted of a probable historic mine shaft and the second...

This report presents the findings of the investigation and evaluation of two early historic-period archaeological sites at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB). The two sites, LA 155815 and LA 156001, are eroding from the edge of an alluvial floodplain at the lower edges Tijeras Arroyo, leaving them exposed to impacts from Air Force security patrol vehicles. The presence of subsurface features led to a recommendation that the sites be considered eligible for listing on the National Register of...

Sandia National Laboratories contracted the Center for Anthropological Studies to perform and document the results of an intensive archaeological survey of a 168 acre portion of its proposed Department of Energy (DOE)/Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Live-Fire Range. This survey project was undertaken and completed according to the professional and legal provisions for complying with Executive Order 11593 and the 1974 Archeological and Historic Preservation Act. Nine isolated loci of artifacts...

The Center for Anthropological Studies has recently completed an intensive field examination of a 1,961 acre live-fire range to be constructed on Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. This Department of Energy/Sandia National Laboratories (UOE/SNL) project area was completed in two phases. The nature and results of the first phase are discussed in the main part of this report. The second phase involved the examination of an area that was later appended to the first. Its description and...

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.

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....

Samples from rooms and midden areas at Frank’s Pueblo, site LA 9032, were examined for pollen and/or macrofloral remains. This site is part of the Salinas Pueblo District in central New Mexico and is one of several small, plaza-oriented, aggregated masonry pueblos on the Chupadera Mesa that formed in the late AD 1200s. These early pueblos date to the Glaze A period, which refers both to the time period of occupation (AD 1200–1350) and the presence of Rio Grande Glaze A pottery sherds (Rautman...

This report describes the results of testing, limited data recovery, and stabilization of LA 112472 (U.S. Forest Service site number AR-03-03-05-850), a small structure dating to the late Developmental to Coalition period (AD 1170-1280). The site, located on U.S. Forest Service land withdrawn to the Department of Energy and managed by the Department of Defense at Kirtland Air Force Base, was exposed in a south-facing cut bank created by the construction and maintenance of Coyote Creek Road. When...

In the period between October 2005 and June 2006, engineering-environmental Management, Inc. (e2M) conducted a cultural resources update and testing project of 47 sites at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) to determine their eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Eleven of the 34 sites recommended eligible are threatened from modern disturbances (LA 69885, LA 137933, LA 137981, LA 137985, LA 137987, LA 137988, LA 137995, LA 138002, LA 138016, LA 138028 and LA 138029)....

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.
