description: An archaeological survey of 56.7 acres of property situated within Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), Bernalillo County, New Mexico, yielded no significant cultural resources. No significant cultural resource sites were located during the pedestrian survey. The results of this survey concurs with a previous cultural resource inventory conducted for Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) Management Area B, which included this proposed permit area. This previous survey located no significant archaeological sites. The Center for Anthropological Studies did, however, record and collected two isolated occurrences (IOs). They were documented as being a white chalcedony tertiary flake (IO #45), and a sherd from an unidentified decorated bowl assumed to be associated with the Anasazi, late Developmental to early Classic transitional period (IO #50). As these artifacts have been collected, they will not be impacted by use or development of the proposed permit site. The current inventory resulted in the recordation of one isolated occurrence. It was a white chalcedony interior flake located on the northern edge of a very small knoll. This lithic artifact could potentially be affected by activities conducted within the use permit area. However, due to assumed lack of associated subsurface deposits and to the recordation of the artifact, it is the opinion of the author that the isolated occurrence is no longer potentially significant. Clearance is recommended.
