Cultural Resources Survey of Madera Canyon and Archeological Area IV Project Areas, Kirtland Air Force Base
Summary
In 1982, Cultural Heritage Research Services, Inc. conducted an on-ground prehistoric and historical archaeological cultural resources survey within the Madera Canyon and Archeological Area IV Project Areas on Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. A total of 18 cultural resources were located. Sixteen of these sites were affiliated with Amerindian cultures spanning the early Archaic through the Historic periods. The remaining two sites consisted of a probable historic mine shaft and the second was a cultural unidentifiable hearth-like feature. Fourteen of the Amerindian sites were evaluated as possessing important cultural information and these site were recommended for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Three of these significant sites are currently adversely impacted by a bisecting roadway and the ensuing vehicular traffic. Recommendations have been developed for the establishment of a Kirtland Air Force Base Cultural Resources Management Plan for the care of all cultural resources that have been identified as a result of the on-going Cultural Resources Inventory Program.
