Sandia Laboratories II Archaeological Survey Project

Author(s): William R. Neal

Year: 1980

Summary

The Center for Anthropological Studies has just completed an intensive field examination of 165 acres situated on Kirtland Air Force Base. Nine loci of isolated artifacts and two prehistoric sites were located. The two prehistoric sites are dense surface scatters of sherds and lithic artifacts that suggest the subsurface existence of several pithouses. Associated ceramic artifacts date these sites to the 1050-1370 period of the Middle Rio Grande Anasazi Indians. Both of these sites appear eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and, therefore, their protection should be assured prior to the issuance of an archaeological clearance to impact the proposed project area.
