Part of the Melrose Air Force Range Resources project

Author(s): Mark Sale; Cody B. Browning; Mark Ennes

Year: 1997

Summary

During April of 1997, an intensive cultural resources survey was conducted on Melrose Air Force Range (MAFR), Roosevelt County, New Mexico, by Geo-Marine, Inc. A total of 3,520 acres was included in this inventory, which resulted in documentation of ten previously unrecorded archaeological sites and 87 isolated occurrences. Six of the sites included artifacts associated with aboriginal activities, three appear to result from historic activities, and one site included evidence of both aboriginal and historic activities. Based on the potential to contain further important information, all of the aboriginal sites/components were considered to be potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). One of the Historic sites (LA 117536) may contain buried structural remains and was considered to be potentially eligible for inclusion on the NRHP; the other two historic sites were recommended not eligible.
