Intensive Archaeological Survey of a Portion of Kirtland Air Force Base

Author(s): James B. Rodgers

Year: 1978

Summary

The Center for Anthropological Studies has recently completed an intensive field survey of an approximate 7.5 square mile area of Kirtland Air Force Base. Archaeological information was recorded from 19 non-site loci and 16 prehistoric and/or historic sites. The majority of the recovered archaeological remains suggests the seasonal use of particular parts of this area by Middle Rio Grande Pueblo Indians during the general interval between A.D.1150 and 1350. Earlier materials consist exclusively of isolated lithic artifacts assigned to different phases of the Rio Grande Archaic culture. With the stipulation that certain management actions be taken to protect 10 specific areas considered worthy of nomination to the National Register (of Historic Places), it is recommended that the State Historic Preservation Officer provide Kirtland Air Force Base an archaeological clearance for the future impacting of the defined project area.
