description: This report presents the results of a cultural resources update and testing project of 45 sites at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) to determine their eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). One new site (LA 153888) was discovered. Analysis of the results of subsurface testing, surface investigation and archival research resulted in National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibly recommendations for each of the 45 sites. Most of the sites (n=33) are recommended eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), under Criteria (D). While most if not all the sites investigated in this study are undergoing some type of water or wind erosion, 4 of 33 sites recommended eligible may require additional attention as a result of activities on or near the sites (LA 77250, LA 81734, LA 81739 and LA 108123). The remaining 12 sites lack significant archaeological deposits and are recommended not eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The sites consist of small assemblages that testing either failed to find evidence for buried artifacts or found few artifacts in deposits that are eroded or redeposited from slopewash and bioturbation.
