The Center for Anthropological Studies just completed an intensive archaeological survey of a second portion of Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. The actual project area includes 3,955 acres in southcentral Bernalillo County. Fifty-nine isolated artifactual materials and 12 archaeological sites were recorded. Collectively, they represent a cultural history of about 10,700 years. The three major prehistoric sites primarily reflect hunting and stone tool manufacturing activities of the Archaic...

The Center for Anthropological Studies completed an intensive archaeological survey of about 1,253 acres located in the south-central part of Kirtland Air Force Base. Seven significant archaeological sites and 230 loci of isolated artifacts were recorded. The prehistoric archaeological resources are interpreted to represent the seasonal use of this area as a supplementary resource zone by Rio Grande Anasazi people between about A.D. 1050 and A.D. 1350. The historic resources, in contrast,...

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...

An archaeological survey of 390 acres of Kirtland Air Force Base was undertaken and completed by the Center for Anthropological Studies. Thirteen isolated loci produced 18 prehistoric artifacts. Six archaeological sites were located, recorded, and partially collected. One site is assigned to the Rio Grande Coalition Period (A.D. 1200-1325), and represents a temporary encampment. The five historic sites relate to early twentieth century (1900-1930's) mining and ranching activities.

The Center for Anthropological Studies has just completed an intensive archaeological survey of 256 acres of Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. Twenty-eight prehistoric and historic artifacts were recorded and collected from 27 isolated loci. Two historic sites of the early twentieth century include a possible field boundary or livestock enclosure and a 1916 mining claim marker. The prehistoric archaeological resources of the project area indicate usage for lithic tool manufacture and...

The results of an intensive archaeological survey of 6,187 acres of Kirtland Air Force Base are reported by the Center for Anthropological Studies. A total of 983 isolated artifactual loci yielded 1,138 artifacts of either stone, pottery, glass, or metal. Two archaeological sites and eastern portions of a third one were located, recorded, and sampled for artifacts. The first of them, designated as NM 0:3:1:38 (CAS), is a lithic workshop tentatively assigned to the late Archaic period (1000 B.C....

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 is the location of abundant archaeological sites found in the Manzanita Mountains and lower slopes east of the Rio Grande. The goal in this study is the development of a geoarchaeologic model identifying the depositional units of Quaternary age at Kirtland Air Force Base that may preserve buried cultural deposits. The model utilizes the geologic mapping results from previous studies and identifies additional Quaternary units in areas where this information was missing....

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...

This report presents the results of a two-phase evaluation of erosion hazards and the need for stabilization of prehistoric archaeological sites on Kirtland Air Force Base. Phase I consisted of the evaluation of erosion vulnerability of specific, previously-identified sites located within alluvial environments on the base (e.g., within the drainages of Tijeras Arroyo and Arroyo del Coyote). Based on this evaluation, ten sites were selected for field revisits and evaluation. These sites include...

A total of 19 archaeological sites were located or relocated during a sample survey (Class II) of 1,400 acres along Tijeras Arroyo east and south of the City of Albuquerque. Eleven archaeological sites were newly discovered during this survey, while 8 sites were relocated within the selected survey units. The purpose of the survey was to determine the types of sites that remain undisturbed along a 1 mile wide corridor of the canyon from east of the present day town of Carnuel to the confluence...

Hangars 481 and 482 were evaluated using the National Register of Historic Places criteria for eligibility, appropriate historic contexts, drawings, photographs, and site visits. The structures were determined to be two of the select structures constructed toward the end of World War II and associated with B-29 ground and air crew training as the end of the war in the Pacific came to an end. Although the structures were associated with this important period in the history of the United States,...
