Author(s): James D. Gallison; David Wilcox; Roberto Herrera

Year: 2003

Summary

From 3 June to 1 November 2002, engineering-environment Management, Inc., (e2M), under contract with Kirtland Air Force Base conducted a Section 110 cultural resources investigation of 6,000 acres of US Forest Service lands withdrawn to Kirtland Air Force Base (4,850 ac) and the Department of Energy (1,150 ac) located in the Manzanita Mountains of New Mexico (Contract DACA45-02-D-0010 ). Fifty-one new sites were located in the field and evaluated for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Forty-eight of these sites are single component resources, five of which contain information important for prehistory and thus appear to be eligible for National Register listing. An additional 39 sites require subsurface testing before determining National Register eligibility and five sites lack sufficient integrity to be considered eligible. Of the three multi-component sites, the historic structure at AR-03-03-05-482 (Manzano Lookout Tower) and the prehistoric rock shelter at AR-03-03-05-503 appear to be eligible. The eligibility of the remaining prehistoric components at AR-03-03-05-482 and AR-03-03-05-503 are undetermined and require subsurface testing. Finally, the historic component at AR-03-03-05-503 and AR-03-03-05-504 are not considered eligible.
