This report presents a summary of the results of the Blanket Purchase Authority (BPA) 10 project sponsored by the Carlsbad Field Office (CFO) of the Bureau of Land Management and funded under the Permian Basin Programmatic Agreement. Geomorphological and geoarchaeological investigations were conducted at the Merchant site (LA 43414) and among suspected anthrosol deposits at LA 121668 and LA 171925. Analyses of soil chemistry and chronometric dates were completed.

PROJECT Myles Miller.

The Carlsbad Field Office contracted Versar, Inc. to conduct remedial archaeological data recovery excavations at the Merchant site (LA 43414), a complex village settlement in southeastern New Mexico. The Merchant site was excavated by the Lea County Archaeological Society (LCAS) from 1959 to 1965, but the results of the excavations were never fully reported.

Stratigraphic pollen samples were examined from two archaeological sites in the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Area — 5LA5255 (the Sue Site) and 5LA5846 (Carved Rock Hill). The stratigraphic pollen record was analyzed to provide a description of paleoenvironmental conditions at both sites. In addition, the data gathered from this stratigraphic examination of the Sue Site will be compared with a previous stratigraphic study at that site. Botanical materials recovered during dry screening at the Sue...
