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 3,789 acres of Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. A total of 305 artifacts were recovered from 282 isolated artifactual loci; and 15 archaeological sites were located, recorded and artifactually sampled. Two of these sites are provisionally assigned to the Archaic period (5000 B.C. - A.D. 1). One or them is a functionally specific site where lithic materials were collected and tool manufacturing was...

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.

The results of an intensive archaeological survey of 6,187 acres of Kirtland Air Force Base are reported by the Center for Anthropological Studies. A total of 983 isolated artifactual loci yielded 1,138 artifacts of either stone, pottery, glass, or metal. Two archaeological sites and eastern portions of a third one were located, recorded, and sampled for artifacts. The first of them, designated as NM 0:3:1:38 (CAS), is a lithic workshop tentatively assigned to the late Archaic period (1000 B.C....

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...

This report presents the results of a two-phase evaluation of erosion hazards and the need for stabilization of prehistoric archaeological sites on Kirtland Air Force Base. Phase I consisted of the evaluation of erosion vulnerability of specific, previously-identified sites located within alluvial environments on the base (e.g., within the drainages of Tijeras Arroyo and Arroyo del Coyote). Based on this evaluation, ten sites were selected for field revisits and evaluation. These sites include...

This report details the environment, prehistory, ethnography, and history of Kirtland Air Force Base in a format suitable for the lay audience. The report begins with an examination of the location and environment. This discussion examines the origin of the mountains and rivers, the plants and animals, and how the climate has changed over time. Research into the geomorphology, paleontology, and wildlife is summarized. The report continues with an examination of the prehistoric peoples and...

A reference list of resources published on the Koster Site and Archaic occupation of the Lower Illinois River Valley

PROJECT Sarah Neusius.

The Koster site is an important open-air, deeply stratified site located in Greene County, Illinois that contains deposits dating from approximately 9000 BP to the Historic period. Although twenty-five cultural horizons have been recognized, the most important part of the sequence is the well-preserved Archaic Period sequence divided as follows: Early Archaic 1 (ca. 9000 BP, Horizon 13), Early Archaic 2 ( 8700-8450 BP, Horizons 12 and 11), Middle Archaic 1 (8300-7600 BP, Horizons 10B-8E),...

Combined dataset of combined Horizons 4, 6, 9A/9B and 12 from 1971-1974 excavations. All identifications are of macro remains and were done in Fred Hill's lab. Identification sheets have been transposed by S. Neusius and her students during 2015-2016 using PDFs of the Hill entry sheets. The format used generally matches that used for other Koster Horizons, except the identified materials from Hors 8A-10B that were used in Neusius' 1982 dissertation.

Faunal identifications from flotation made by Andrea Boon as part of her MA thesis research. There are no other flotation bone identifications for this horizon.

This dataset is a combination of Horizon Eleven faunal identifications made by Sarah Neusius, Andrea Boon and Frederick Hill. It was created by Sarah Neusius and her students in late 2015 and early 2016 and modified for use by the EAFWG. The original datasets from which this is created are also stored in tDAR.

Data includes Faunal Analysis at Site. Site Description: The Koster site is a deeply stratified site located in the lower Illinois River valley containing cultural deposits that span most of the Holocene. This site has provided significant information about the Archaic period in the Midwest as well as human-environment interactions at this time. Due to excellent preservation Koster gives us a complex record of the technologies and food sources of its inhabitants over time. The Koster site is...

This file contains reconstructed indeterminate faunal identifications for the Koster Site Priority Horizons Horizons 8A-10B. These data were recorded by Sarah Neusius in her dissertation work and by Fred Hill and his assistants, but were not included in the Kos-N Priority Horizon file created by John Hewitt. They have been entered from notes, tallies and identification sheets available during 2015 and 2016 by Neusius and her students at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Additional columns...

This dataset provides faunal identification summaries for Horizons 8A, 8B,8D, 8E, 8F, 10A and 10B that were completed by S. Neusius when working on her dissertation. The original datasheets have not been relocated so this file has been created from the summaries in Neusius 1982 (see documents attached to this project). Because this is summary data the actual contexts within horizons are unknown, but except for the Indeterminate remains, Feature vs Midden contexts were separated. No flotation...
