Cultural Resources Survey of 50 Acres on Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico

Author(s): Brianne Sisneros; Paisley Palmer; Mark Williams; Cherie K Walth

Year: 2019

Summary

SWCA surveyed 50.00 acres on behalf of Kirtland Air Force Base and identified six archaeological sites and 10 IOs. One archaeological site (LA 194069) is a newly recorded site. Data from ARMS suggested that the survey area would also encounter LA 107704, LA 108123, LA 121916, LA 121919, and LA 138016. During the current investigation, SWCA found the ARMS proxy circle and other site boundaries for LA 107704, LA 108123, LA 121916, LA 121919, and LA 138016 to be inaccurately depicted on the ARMS GIS database. The sites were located and re-recorded, and new site boundaries were created to represent the distribution of the current surface assemblage of the sites. Ten IOs were located during this project, none of which are considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

LA 107704, LA 108123, LA 121916, and LA 138016 have been recommended eligible for the National Register of Historic Places based on previously excavated shovel tests that yielded subsurface cultural materials, and the current investigation supports those recommendations. LA 121919 and LA 194069 are recommended not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places based on the lack of information potential.
