Akins_Northern Rio Grande_Paper_Exploring Mortuary Variability in the Northern Rio Grande (2011)
The Pueblo Indians who live in the Northern Rio Grande belong to several distinct linguistic groups and their cultural differences may be reflected in past burial practices. With a few notable exceptions, much of the older data on Northern Rio Grande burials is presented as summaries without regards to age or sex and without definitions of exactly what is meant by the terms used to describe even basic treatment such as orientation and body position. Thus, the typical level of reporting is...
Cultural Resource Survey for the Adal Base Water System, Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (1997)
TRC Mariah Associates Inc. completed a Class III cultural resource inventory for a water tower pipeline on Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico. An original survey (43.6 acres [17.6 ha]) was conducted by TRC Mariah on February 28 and 29, 1996. Three previously recorded sites were located during this survey. Two sites, LA 2014 and LA 38135, fell within the impact area. One site, LA 38134, was adjacent to, but outside of, the impact area. All three of these sites had been...
Cultural Resources Survey of Madera Canyon and Archeological Area IV Project Areas: Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico (1982)
In 1982, Cultural Heritage Research Services, Inc. conducted an on-ground prehistoric and historical archaeological cultural resources survey within the Madera Canyon and Archeological Area IV Project Areas on Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. A total of 18 cultural resources were located. Sixteen of these sites were affiliated with American Indian cultures spanning the early Archaic through the Historic periods. The remaining two sites consisted of a probable historic mine shaft and the...
Draft: Two Dead Juniper Village: A Late Developmental to Coalition Period Occupation Located in the Western Foothills of the Manzanita Mountains, Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County New Mexico (2005)
The investigations and data described for the Two Dead Juniper Village (LA 87432/AR-03-03-05-740) in the following document span a 24 year period beginning in 1981. During this time many personnel and administrative changes were made to the archaeological team. As such, this final document represents pieces of work from many different investigators, who participated at different times during the undertaking. Unfortunately, neither Albert Ward nor any members of his team at the Center for...
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...
Intensive Archaeological Survey of the Department of Energy (DOE)/Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Live-Fire Range Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico (1981)
Sandia National Laboratories contracted the Center for Anthropological Studies to perform and document the results of an intensive archaeological survey of a 168 acre portion of its proposed Department of Energy (DOE)/Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Live-Fire Range. This survey project was undertaken and completed according to the professional and legal provisions for complying with Executive Order 11593 and the 1974 Archeological and Historic Preservation Act. Nine isolated loci of artifacts...
Intensive Archaeological Survey of the Department of Energy/Sandia National Laboratories Live-Fire Range, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico (1981)
The Center for Anthropological Studies has recently completed an intensive field examination of a 1,961 acre live-fire range to be constructed on Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. This Department of Energy/Sandia National Laboratories (UOE/SNL) project area was completed in two phases. The nature and results of the first phase are discussed in the main part of this report. The second phase involved the examination of an area that was later appended to the first. Its description and...
Kirtland Air Force Base 1980B Archaeological Survey Project (1981)
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...

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...
Southwest Mortuary Database Project: 2011 SAA E-Session: Mortuary Practices in the American Southwest: Meta-Data Issues in the Development of a Regional Database
The study of prehistoric mortuary practices in the American Southwest is undergoing tremendous change in the new millennium. The challenges (and opportunities) of NAGPRA implementation, declines in the number of large samples being excavated, and loss of data from previously excavated samples have altered mortuary archaeology in the region. Given this state of affairs, the development of an integrated regional database of prehistoric mortuary practices is imperative. This session at the 76th...
