description: During May through August of 1998, ten 611th Air Support Group (611 ASG) installations covering a total of 12,210 acres were inventoried for archaeological remains. These installations included: Anvil Mountain Radio Relay Station (RRS), Cape Lisburne Long-Range Radar Site (LRRS), Cape Newenham LRRS, Cape Romanzof LRRS, Fort Yukon LRRS, Galena Airport, Kotzebue LRRS, Murphy Dome LRRS, Sparrevohn LRRS, and Tin City LRRS. Archaeological remains were documented at Cape Lisburne and Tin City, and a possible isolated find was encountered at Fort Yukon; no sites or isolated finds were discovered at the remaining installations. Archaeological remains were documented at Cape Lisburne and Tin City, and a possible isolated find was encountered at Fort Yukon; no sites or isolated finds were discovered at the remaining installations. Archaeological remains that are recommended as eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) include one site at Tin City (TEL-155) and two sites at Cape Lisburne (XPH-045 and XPH-046). The site at Tin City has been damaged by recent looting, and it is recommended that the Air Force implement measures for its protection. In addition to this site, another potentially eligible site (TEL-156), which lies near the Air Force property boundary at Tin City LRRS, has also been damaged by recent looting.
