Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
An ongoing cultural resource inventory on White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico identified over 100 prehistoric and multicomponent sites in the valley bottom of the Tularosa Basin, greatly exceeding the anticipated number of prehistoric resources for the approximately 4,300-acre study area. In an effort to elucidate a better understanding of the causal factors influencing site distribution within the study area, spatial analysis was conducted. This poster presents the preliminary results of this analysis.
