description: A total of 19 archaeological sites were located or relocated during a sample survey (Class II) of 1,400 acres along Tijeras Arroyo east and south of the City of Albuquerque. Eleven archaeological sites were newly discovered during this survey, while 8 sites were relocated within the selected survey units. The purpose of the survey was to determine the types of sites that remain undisturbed along a 1 mile wide corridor of the canyon from east of the present day town of Carnuel to the confluence of the arroyo with the Rio Grande and excluding military lands. The survey is a 20 percent sample of landforms defined along the arroyo corridor. Included within this report are the results of this sample survey and a literature review or Class I of work conducted in the region of Tijeras Canyon prior to this undertaking. Also presented below is an overview of the Albuquerque region for comparative purposes, along with ceramic descriptions which have been used to tentatively date sites. In addition, theoretical perspectives and assumptions are included.
