Summary

Eligibility of an archaeological site in the National Register is determined on four basic criteria. This research discusses the nature of eligible nominated sites in regards to their temporal and spatial affiliation on New Mexico State Trust Lands as they are recorded in the New Mexico ARMS database. Correlations with available archaeological surveys, terrain visibility, and the way we regard and define what an archaeological site is are also examined.
