description: The following report summarizes the results of Class I and Class III cultural resource inventories for a helicopter landing site used by crews assigned to Kirtland Air Force Base in Valencia County, New Mexico. A Class I survey performed on April 27, 1995 indicated five previously recorded sites located within 1.0 mi (1.6 km) of the project area. Subsequent pedestrian survey on April 28 and May 3, 1995 revealed two previously unknown archaeological sites and two isolated occurrences. Of these two sites, one is considered to be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion "D." The data potential of the remaining site and two isolated occurrences was recorded by their documentation during survey. Provided that landing activities are restricted within the boundaries of Landing Zone 17, archaeological clearance is recommended.
