description: Since 1978 Kirtland Air Force Base and Sandia Laboratories have contracted for thorough on-ground surveys for the identification and evaluation of prehistoric and historic archaeological sites. A total of 13 surveys were completed for 31,281 acres on the Base and Forest Service Withdrawal Lands between 1978 and 1985. On May 7, 1987, Mariah Associates, Inc. was awarded the first of a three-phase contract designed to provide a comprehensive historic preservation plan for Kirtland Air Force Base. The previously completed survey results are evaluated in order to determine if they provide adequate information necessary to prepare a plan for managing the significant archaeological sites. The assessment determined that site locations were sometimes in error, that few sites had been mapped, that some sites had not been recorded, that observations about the kind and importance of sites were often erroneously evaluated, and that inconsistent information was obtained from the surveys. This report recommends that some surveys should be completely redone to obtain a realistic inventory and evaluation of sites, and other survey areas be sampled to determine the adequacy of the surveys. Furthermore, known historic and prehistoric sites over 50 years old should be revisited to obtain comparable kinds of basic information to determine their importance and to gather locational information necessary to properly manage the sites.
