description: A cultural resources inventory of Area II, an approximately 45.5 acre locale, situated on Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, yielded no prehistoric or historically significant cultural resources. Area II has been extremely disturbed over the last 50 years. In fact, based on a reconnaissance of the area, there are currently no locales situated within Area II that have not been severely disturbed in the past. No prehistoric or historic cultural resources were observed and none are expected to have survived previous construction and earth modifying activities. The few existing facilities lack sufficient antiquity to be considered eligible for inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places. It is recommended that a more formal evaluation be conducted on remaining structures scheduled for remodeling or demolition in 1998 or later when they would be 50 years old or older. Without additional antiquity (if then), it is felt that these facilities are not currently eligible to the National Register of Historic Places. There is the possibility that one of two originally similar structures is associated with a significant historical event, thus potentially qualifying for inclusion onto the National Register under Criterion "A". The first hydrogen bomb was assembled in Building 904 or 907, which could be considered by some to be a major contribution to our history. It is, therefore, recommended that this structure be identified and its National Register eligibility be assessed prior to conducting any additional renovations or to its demolition.
