description: An archaeological survey of approximately 65 acres of property situated within Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), Bernalillo County, New Mexico, yielded no significant cultural resources. The area has been extensively disturbed by use of the area over the past twenty to thirty years. In part due to this previous disturbance and the fact that much of the area is situated within the valley drainage bottom and within the floodplain, no significant cultural resource sites were located. The results of this survey concur with previous cultural resources inventories conducted on Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) which included this proposed Permit Area. No significant archaeological sites were located within the Permit Area during either of these previous projects. All observed isolated occurrences (IOs) were collected. Four isolated occurrences were located during this current inventory, however, only one of these was physically situated within the Permit Area. This 10 (#4) could potentially be affected by activity conducted within the use area. The three isolated occurrences situated outside the Permit Area should not be Impacted by activities conducted from the locality. Isolated Occurrence # 1 (two lithics) has previously been impacted by grading of a dirt road which aids in providing access to the Permit Area. These isolated artifacts could sustain additional impacts from future grading activities. However, all of the artifacts and features recorded as IOs, are no longer thought to be potentially significant as adverse effects were mitigated through field recordation. Clearance is recommended.
