Cultural Resources Survey and Review for Sandia National Laboratories, Area I, South of O Street, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico

Author(s): Steven R. Hoagland

Year: 1990

Summary

A cultural resources inventory of approximately 432 acres on Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Tech Area I, South of "O" Street, which is located in Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, yielded no prehistoric or historically significant cultural resources. A historic trash dump apparently dumped in the late 1950s and the few existing facilities appear to lack sufficient antiquity to be considered eligible for inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places. An isolated obsidian decortication flake was also documented, however, it is no longer thought to be potentially significant as adverse effects were mitigated through field recordation. Detailed recordation of the dump should also facilitate a no adverse effect determination for the dump should future earth modifying activities be conducted in its vicinity. Therefore, it is felt that no significant cultural artifacts, features or structures qualifying under National Register Criterion D are present in Tech Area I, south of "O" Street.

It is recommended that a more formal evaluation be conducted on remaining structures scheduled for remodeling or demolition when they reach 50 years of age or older. Without additional antiquity (if then), it is felt that these facilities are not currently eligible to the National Register of Historic Places.
