description: This report presents the results of a two-phase evaluation of erosion hazards and the need for stabilization of prehistoric archaeological sites on Kirtland Air Force Base. Phase I consisted of the evaluation of erosion vulnerability of specific, previously-identified sites located within alluvial environments on the base (e.g., within the drainages of Tijeras Arroyo and Arroyo del Coyote). Based on this evaluation, ten sites were selected for field revisits and evaluation. These sites include LA 103165, LA 103164, LA 103172, LA 103173, LA 103177, LA 64558, LA 53671, LA 103176, LA 47898, and LA 48095. During Phase II, six of the Phase I sites judged most vulnerable (LA 103164, LA 103165, LA 103172, LA 103173, LA 103176, LA 103177) were revisited to ascertain their condition and retrieve datable samples, if possible. Three additional threatened sites (LA 2014, LA 38135, and LA 101258) were also visited.
