Kirtland Air Force Base 1980 Archaeological Survey Project, Bernalillo County, New Mexico

Author(s): James B. Rodgers

Year: 1980

Summary

The Center for Anthropological Studies completed an intensive archaeological survey of about 1,253 acres located in the south-central part of Kirtland Air Force Base. Seven significant archaeological sites and 230 loci of isolated artifacts were recorded. The prehistoric archaeological resources are interpreted to represent the seasonal use of this area as a supplementary resource zone by Rio Grande Anasazi people between about A.D. 1050 and A.D. 1350. The historic resources, in contrast, reflect a variety of different mining activities undertaken during the transitional United States Territorial - New Mexico Statehood phase of the Rio Grande historic period, about 1904 to 1933.
