Intensive Archaeological Survey of the Department of Energy (DOE)/Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Live-Fire Range Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico

Author(s): William R. Neal

Year: 1981

Summary

Sandia National Laboratories contracted the Center for Anthropological Studies to perform and document the results of an intensive archaeological survey of a 168 acre portion of its proposed Department of Energy (DOE)/Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Live-Fire Range. This survey project was undertaken and completed according to the professional and legal provisions for complying with Executive Order 11593 and the 1974 Archeological and Historic Preservation Act. Nine isolated loci of artifacts and two prehistoric sites were located. The former were collected and are being permanently curated by the Center. The latter, NM I:15:3:15 (LA 47883) and NM I:15:3:16 (LA 47884), are considered eligible for National Register nomination, and both general and specific recommendations have been posited for their conservation. The remaining part of the surveyed area is believed to contain no significant archaeological properties and, therefore, the State Historic Preservation Officer is requested to issue an archaeological clearance for the proposed construction project.
