An Archaeological Survey of Approximately 220 Miles of Right-of-Way for the Test Support Network Fiber Optics Cable Backbone on White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico

Part of the Holloman Air Force Base Resources project

Year: 1995

Summary

This report presents the results of a cultural resources survey of approximately 220 miles of the proposed right-of-way for a buried fiber optics cable on White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico. As a result of the current project, 15 new archaeological sites and 74 isolated artifacts were located and documented along the planned installation route. Twelve previously recorded archaeological sites were relocated in the right-of-way corridor. These 27 total sites were inspected to assess potential impact from installation of the fiber optics cable. Of the 27 total sites that fall within the right-of-way, 25 are located on White Sands Missile Range and the remaining two are located on Holloman Air Force Base. Of the 15 new sites, 10 are considered potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and five are considered to be of unknown eligibility at the present time. Of the 12 previously recorded sites, four remain eligible, seven retain the status of unknown eligibility, and one site remains ineligible for inclusion in the NRHP.
