Work Plan for Conducting Geomorphic Investigations at LA 152577 on Kirtland Air Force Base

Author(s): James D. Gallison; J. David Kilby

Year: 2006

Summary

This is a proposal to carry out limited subsurface testing at LA 152577 for the purpose of collecting sediment and soils data to contribute to understanding the geomorphology of Kirtland Air Force Base. LA 152577 is a Folsom Paleoindian site that we encountered and recorded while carrying out a geomorphic survey along Tijeras Arroyo. We propose to place two excavation units on the site, exposing stratigraphic profiles of the potentially deep eolian sands that characterize the southern edge of Tijeras Canyon. Folsom artifacts, which are well dated from other sites, will serve as chronostratigraphic markers that will enable us to better understand the process and timing of sediment accumulation along the canyon rim.
