1-12 (12 Records)
From 22 January 2013 to 24 May 2013, HDR, Inc., conducted a Section 110 cultural resources investigation on Department of Defense land located within Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. The cultural resources survey involved 100% coverage of all areas not covered by roads, buildings, parking lots or areas containing artificial fill, areas of obvious disturbance, and fenced areas containing hazardous material or requiring high level security clearance. Areas of land disturbance and security...
Archaeology of the Western Manzanita Mountains: Cultural Resource Survey of the West-Central Portion of Kirtland Air Force Base and Department of Energy Lands Withdrawn from the US Forest Service Bernalillo County, New Mexico (2005)
Beginning in January 2003, engineering-environment Management, Inc., (e2M), under contract with Kirtland Air Force Base, conducted a Section 110 cultural resources investigation of 6,654 acres of United States Forest Service (USFS) lands withdrawn to Kirtland Air Force Base (4,824 acres) and the Department of Energy (1,830 acres) located in the Manzanita Mountains of New Mexico (DACA45-03-D-0005). The primary objectives of the survey were to revisit and update previously recorded archaeological...
Cultural Resource Survey for the Robotic Vehicle Range, Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico (1994)
During March 1994, Advanced Sciences, Inc. (ASI) conducted a cultural resource survey of the area inside the Robotic Vehicle Range (RVR) Facility at Sandia National Laboratories/New Mexico (SNL/NM). Portions of the project area have undergone construction and maintenance disturbance associated with the current 1.76 acre (0.70 ha) headquarters at the existing Robotic Vehicle Range (RVR) facility. An historic homestead (LA 104205) was the only significant cultural resource located within the...
Cultural Resource Survey of 50 Acres and Update of LA 152577 on Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (2018)
This report presents the results of an intensive archaeological pedestrian survey of 50 acres surrounding LA 152577 within the Kirtland Air Force Base property in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. The project is was completed under Prudent’s Fence-to-Fence Environmental Services at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. The project is located north of Munition Haul Road, along the south side of the confluence of Tijeras Arroyo and Arroyo del Coyote on Kirtland Air Force Base property in Bernalillo...

Evaluation and Limited Data Recovery of LA 155815 and LA 156001, Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (2012)
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...
Investigative Report of the Pithouse Excavation at LA 53672 (AR-03-03-05-358), Located on Cibola National Forest Lands Withdrawn to Kirtland Air Force Base, Department of Defense, Kirtland Air Force Base, Kirtland, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (2005)
This report summarizes results and findings of the TRC Mariah volunteer pithouse excavations at LA 53672 (AR-03-03-05-358) conducted in 1996. LA 53672 is an ancestral Puebloan habitation site that dates from the Late Developmental to Coalition period and is one of at least 100 prehistoric sites containing a ceramic component recorded in the valley bottoms and foothills of the Manzanita Mountains. The site is located at 1,828 m (6,000 ft) elevation within the lands withdrawn from the Cibola...
Kirtland Air Force Base Geoarchaeologic Landform Analysis Project (GLAP), Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (2009)
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....

POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS, CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM SITE LA 72048, BERNALILLO COUNTY, NEW MEXICO (2016)
Site LA 72048 comprises a U-shaped mound that partially surrounds a depression, stains, a rock alignment, and an extensive midden deposit. It lies on a bench southeast of Tijeras Arroyo in Bernalillo County, New Mexico (Douglas H. M. Boggess, personal communication August 11, 2016). Pollen samples from a stain (Feature 4) in the midden and fill from a bowl sherd collected from the backhoe trench were compared to a modern control sample to interpret economic activity. Two macrofloral samples were...
Preliminary Draft: Testing and Evaluation of LA 38136: Changing Adaptations on the Tijeras Arroyo Terrace (2007)
This report describes the results of testing at LA 38136, a multi-component site that includes a Folsom artifact scatter, a Late Developmental-Coalition Period artifact scatter, and a series of small stone structures that date to the early historic Period. To determine whether the site warranted protection and potentially stabilization, we placed seven 1 x 1 m excavation units at the site’s three loci. Testing of the site led to three primary discoveries. First, the Folsom component is only...
Work Plan for Conducting Geomorphic Investigations at LA 152577 on Kirtland Air Force Base (2006)
This is a proposal to carry out limited subsurface testing at LA 152577 for the purpose of collecting sediment and soils data to contribute to understanding the geomorphology of Kirtland Air Force Base. LA 152577 is a Folsom Paleoindian site that we encountered and recorded while carrying out a geomorphic survey along Tijeras Arroyo. We propose to place two excavation units on the site, exposing stratigraphic profiles of the potentially deep eolian sands that characterize the southern edge of...
