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.

Sandia Laboratories I Archaeological Survey Project, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico (1980)
The Center for Anthropological Studies has just completed an intensive archaeological survey or field examination of a 207 acre portion of Kirtland Air Force Base. Twenty loci of isolated artifacts and five historic sites were located. Diagnostic lithic and ceramic artifacts suggest the primary prehistoric use of this area by Rio Grande Anasazi Indian groups during the A.D. 1000-1350 period. In contrast, the historic remains reflect Anglo-American mining activities undertaken between about 1900...

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...
