description: The Center for Anthropological Studies has just completed an intensive archaeological survey or field examination of a 207 acre portion of Kirtland Air Force Base. Twenty loci of isolated artifacts and five historic sites were located. Diagnostic lithic and ceramic artifacts suggest the primary prehistoric use of this area by Rio Grande Anasazi Indian groups during the A.D. 1000-1350 period. In contrast, the historic remains reflect Anglo-American mining activities undertaken between about 1900 and 1925. None of the recorded archaeological remains appear eligible for nomination to the National Register. A clearance is therefore recommended for the proposed impact of the project area by Sandia Laboratories. Includes correspondence from the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Office.
