Results of Phase I and III Geoarchaeological Studies, Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (1997)
The results of these preliminary studies indicate that arroyos in this region were quite dynamic in the Holocene and that this activity resulted in a significant archaeological visibility bias. Rapid sedimentation rates (0.1 to 0.25 inch/year [0.3 to 0.66 m/year]) and thick alluvial fills demonstrate that large volumes of sediment were repeatedly mobilized in brief periods of time in the past. The discovery of several buried Archaic archaeological sites in the arroyo deposits suggests that the...
