1-8 (8 Records)
This report documents joint efforts undertaken by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and Escondida Research Group (ERG) to evaluate the extent of mechanical damages to archaeological site LA 53672 (USFS No. AR-03-03-05-358) and to provide suggestions for stabilization of the damaged portions of the site. During the summer of 1999, while preparing to replace some powerline poles in Arroyo del Coyote, a heavy equipment operator inadvertently penetrated and...
Geophysical Studies at Kirtland Air Force Base Proposed Plan for Archaeological Ground Truthing (1995)
This report presents the results of a geophysical study of five sites on KAFB. The objectives for the geophysical study were two fold: (1) to explore the effectiveness of near surface geophysical techniques for verifying the presence and nature of architectural and other cultural features and (2) to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each of the four remote sensing techniques being employed--resistivity, gradiometer, magnetometer, and ground penetrating radar (GPR)--by assessing their...
Investigative Report of the Pithouse Excavation at LA 53672 (AR-03-03-05-358), Located on Cibola National Forest Lands Withdrawn to Kirtland Air Force Base, Department of Defense, Kirtland Air Force Base, Kirtland, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (2005)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 The site is located at 1,828 m (6,000 ft) elevation within the lands withdrawn from the Cibola...
The Kirtland Air Force Base Coyote Test Field Archaeological Survey, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (1985)
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: Geophysical Studies (1997)
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...
Report on Stabilization Efforts at Archaeological Site LA 53672 (AR-03-03-05-358), Cibola National Forest Withdrawn Lands, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico (2000)
This report represents an addendum to an earlier report in which the extent of mechanical damages to archaeological site LA 53672 (USFS No. AR-03-03-05-358) were evaluated and suggestions for stabilization of the damaged portions of the site were provided. As such, the present report documents efforts by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and Escondida Research Group (ERG) to construct a stabilization structure at archaeological site LA 53672 in order to...
Results of Phase III Site Documentation and Other Field Studies for Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (1998)
This report summarizes the results of Phase Ill site documentation and other field studies concluded at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB). During site revisits, a number of new sites were recorded. In addition, other surveys were conducted. These included a survey of Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites, an intensive reconnaissance of arroyo cutbanks, a survey of the High Energy Research and Technology Facility (HERTF) antennae range at KAFB, and the ADAL water base survey. The results of...
