Summary

Beginning in January 2003, engineering-environment Management, Inc., (e2M), under contract with Kirtland Air Force Base, conducted a Section 110 cultural resources investigation of 6,654 acres of USFS lands withdrawn to Kirtland Air Force Base (4,824 ac) and the Department of Energy (1,830 ac) located in the Manzanita Mountains of New Mexico (DACA45-03-D-0005). The primary objectives of the survey were to revisit and update previously recorded archaeological sites that were determined to be eligible, or which have not received an eligibility determination, locate any undocumented sites that may be present, and provide recommendations of eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

There are 55 previously recorded sites in the project area. The State Historic Preservation Office determined that four of these sites are eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), seven are not eligible, and 16 require subsurface testing or additional research to determine eligibility. The remaining 28 sites have not been evaluated by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Eighty-eight new sites were located in the field and evaluated for eligibility to the National Register. Seventeen of the 88 sites are single component resources, 17 of which contain information important for prehistory and history and thus appear to be eligible for National Register listing. An additional 39 sites require subsurface testing or further archival research before determining NRHP eligibility and 27 sites lack sufficient integrity to be considered eligible. The eligibility of the five newly recorded multicomponent sites is in question. Additional archival research is recommended for the historic mineshaft at AR-03-03-05-673/LA 142165 and subsurface testing is required for the prehistoric components at four of these sites.
