Predictive Locational Modeling of Archaeological Resources on McGregor Range, Southern Tularosa Basin, New Mexico

Author(s): James A. Zeidler; Michael L. Hargrave; Daniel Haag

Year: 2002

Summary

This report provides the Fort Bliss Directorate of Environment with a series of predictive models of archaeological site location on McGregor Range for use as a decision support tool in the McGregor Withdrawal EIS Project. These predictive models and their associated probability surface maps are based on empirical correlations between known prehistoric archaeological site locations and a range of biophysical variables within the McGregor landscape. The predictive modeling effort has been guided by current anthropological theories of settlement subsistence behavior and land use in the Tularosa Basin paleoenvironments for different forms of social complexity and degrees of residential mobility ranging from foraging hunter-gatherer societies to semisedentary horticulture societies.
