TITLE An Archaeological Survey of Approximately 4,000 Acres Located Near the Bisti Badlands South of Farmington, New Mexico. Public Service Company of New Mexico, Archaeological Report No. 2,
Albuquerque.
This corridor project encompassed 4,000 acres in San Juan County. The project area was situated in the Navajo section of the Colorado Plateau Province and consisted primarily of badland-mesa landforms. Vegetation present in the study area included cool desertshrub and grasslands.
The survey consisted of a 100% sample in which 30m or less crew spacing formed the basis for data collection. A total of 72 sites and no isolated occurrences were recorded during this project.
Of the total number of recorded sites, 13 were lithic scatter sites, 25 were lithic scatters with surface hearth sites, and 25 contain lithic/groundstone/fire-cracked rock scatters.
Seventeen historic sites were recorded in the study area, all Navajo, most predate 1900. Six were classified as habitation sites and contain wood/masonry hogans, sweathouses and, less often, corrals. Temporary camps consisting of tent pads, ramadas, and corrals comprise the remainder of the historic sites.
The estimated ages of sites in these groups were based on typological cross-dating, specifically projectile points and ceramics from each site. This project was notable for an absence of Anasazi sites; a pattern attributed to soil unsuited for agriculture. Of these sites, one was assigned to the late phase of the Archaic Period and two were assigned to the Pueblo IV phase of the Pueblo Period. Two sites contained multiple components (Archaic and Puebloan).
Artifact data were based on in-field analyses of assemblages. Counts per site rwerely exceed 40 artifacts. Lithic analyses focused primarily on debitage assemblages. Stylistic analyses were restricted to projectile points. Sites contained points classified as San Jose, Basketmaker II, Basketmaker III, and Bajada.
Ceramic analyses focused on stylistic analyses of assemblages. Ceramic assemblages contained Burnham B/w, Lino Gray and Corrugated wares. Historic (Navajo) artifacts included purple glass.
The report contained preliminary analyses of artifact assemb-lages between sites found during the project.

TITLE Report of Surface Collection and Testing at 18 sites Near Abiquiu Reservoir, Northern New Mexico. Mariah Associates, Inc., Albuquerque.
This project focused on excavations at 18 sites in Rio Arriba County. Most of the sites were situated in canyon and terrace landforms. Elevations varied between 6,200 and 6,400 feet. Vegetation in the study area included pinyon-juniper woodlands and grasslands.
Excavation samples were difficult to determine, but probably did not exceed 1% of each site. Graded 1/4in. and 1/8in. mesh screens and arbitrary 10cm levels formed the basis for data collection. Surface collections preceded excavations at all sites.
Of the total number of excavated prehistoric sites, all were lithic scatter sites. Four sites contained masonry structures. No historic sites were excavated. All sites contained multiple components (ranging from Archaic to historic).
Artifact data were based on laboratory analyses of assem-blages. Sample sizes range from 200 - 9000 artifacts per site. Lithic analyses focused primarily on debitage assemblages. Detailed raw material studies were included in the report. Stylistic analyses of lithics focused on projectile points. Among the types noted were En Medio, San Pedro, Lamy/Llaves, San Jose, Thoms #27, Thoms #26, Thoms #14, Thoms #35, and Abiquiu Ewered.
Ceramic analyses focused on stylistic analyses of assemblages. Ceramic assemblages contained Powhoge Polychrome, Kwahe'e B/w, Peñasco Micaceous, Valdito, Ocate, Tewa Polished, Santa Fe B/w, and Pueblo II-Pueblo III Corrugated.
Historic artifacts noted in the report include a glass bead and a brass thimble.
Specialized studies include obsidian hydration dating and sourcing, radiocarbon dating, and pollen analyses. Most obsidian was from the Polvadera source. Dates indicate very late ages of purported Oshara projectile points. Radiocarbon and obsidian dates were obtained at LA 51698. Pollen studies proved negative.
The report is primarily descriptive in nature and contained no statistical analyses of artifact assemblages.

TITLE Archaeological Investigations in the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico. Santa Fe National Forest, Jemez Ranger District, Cultural Resources Document No. 5, Santa Fe.
This project focused on excavations at four sites in Sandoval County. Most of the sites were situated in hill, slope, and canyon landforms. Elevations varied between 7,120 and 8,200 feet. Vegetation in the study area included ponderosa pine, juniper, aspen, and spruce.
Excavation methods differed for the four sites. One site was excavated using a 1 x 1m grid system installed over the entire site. The grid units were used as the basis for excavation. Another site employed the use of 50 x 50cm test pits in the north corner of each room. Still another site excavated all room fill for a single unit due to the appwerent lack of natural stratigraphy. The historic site was excavated through test pits. Artifact recovery was based on screen sizes of 1/4 in. and natural strata levels were used in most of the excavations.
Of the total number of excavated prehistoric sites, three were fieldhouse sites. The sites date to the A.D. 1300-1650 period. One historic site was excavated. It was a historic log cabin dating to the 1920-1950 period.
Artifact data were based on laboratory analyses of assem-blages. Sample sizes range from 15 - 391 artifacts per site. Lithic analyses focused primarily on debitage assemblages.
Ceramic analyses focused on stylistic analyses of assemblages. Ceramic assemblages contained Jemez B/w and Peñasco Micaceous. Historic artifacts noted in the report include nails, window glass, stove pipe fragments, cans, glass, and leather fragments.
Specialized studies include pollen, radiocarbon, and obsidian hydration analyses. The obsidian hydration sample dates to approxi-mately A.D. 1578. Pollen studies found Zea and Cleome pollen. The one C14 sample produced dates of approximately A.D. 890 + 210.

TITLE Test Excavations at Sites Within the Proposed Hawk Battalion Facility, Rio Puerco Valley, New Mexico. University of New Mexico, Office of Contract Archaeology, Proposal No. 185-335, Albuquerque.
This project summarizes test excavations at 12 sites in Bernalillo County. The project area consisted primarily of valley margin landforms. Elevations varied between 5,340 and 5,376 feet. Vegetation present in the study area included mixed grasslands, saltbush, and yucca.
The test excavation samples average less than 5% of each sites. In most cases, large surface collections were made at each site. Data recovery is based on unspecified screen sizes and arbitrary levels were used in all excavations. All testing was judgemental.
Of the total number of tested prehistoric sites, nine were sherd and lithic scatter sites, two were jacal/pithouse village sites, and one was a lithic scatter site. No historic sites were recorded in the study area.
The estimated ages of sites in these groups were based on typological cross-dating, specifically projectile points and deco-rated ceramics. In addition, C14 dates were run from four sites; 1620 + 70 BP (LA 60834), 1300 + 70 and 1200 + 50 BP (LA 60838), 2040 + 100 BP (LA 60839), and 1230 + 60 BP (LA 60840). Flotation of seven one-liter samples from five sites resulted in the identi-fication of juniper, corn, goosefoot, purslane, Opuntia, and grass seeds from various contexts.
Artifact data were based on laboratory analyses of assem-blages. Lithic analyses focused primarily on raw material and technological analyses of debitage assemblages. Assemblages average 94 items per site. Stylistic analyses were restricted to projectile points. Sites contained points classified as En Medio, San Pedro, and Anasazi.
Ceramic analyses focused on stylistic/technological analyses of assemblages. Ceramic assemblages contained Corrales Red, San Marcial B/w, Kiatuthlana-Red Mesa B/w, Lino Smudged, Lino Gray, Lino Fugitive Red, and Kana'a Gray wares. An average of 82 sherds per site was found.

Many sites contained multiple components.
Artifact data were based on in-field analyses of assemblages. Sample sizes average 19 artifacts per site. Lithic analyses focused primarily on debitage assemblages. Stylistic analyses were restricted to projectile points (n=198). Sites contained points classified as Jay and Bajada.
Ceramic analyses focused on stylistic/petrographic analyses of assemblages. Ceramic assemblages contained El Paso Brown, Glaze A Red, Chupadero B/w, Mimbres B/w, Mimbres Corrugated, Playas Red Incised, St.John's Polychrome, Lincoln B/r, El Paso Polychrome, Seco Corrugated, and Three Rivers R/t wares. Petrographic analyses of Mimbres B/w sherds (n=13) indicates that they were of non-local origin.
The report contained detailed tabular summaries of artifact assemblages from sites found during the project. Estimates of site density by environmental zones were presented.
Radiocarbon dates from 10 sites were: 80 + 60 BP, 240 + 50 BP, 560 + 90 BP, 170 + 100 BP, 470 + 50 BP, 680 + 90 BP, 5870 + 120 BP, 290 + 70 BP, 4070 + 170 BP, and 540 + 100 BP. Thirty-three obsidian dates from 20 sites were also presented. Overlapping C14 and OH dates from six sites were not in close agreement. Most obsidian derives from Obsidian Ridge, with East Grants Ridge, and Mule Creek in lesser quantities.

TITLE The Prehistory of the Carlsbad Basin, Southeastern New Mexico: Technical Report of Prehistoric Archaeological Investigations in the Brantley Project Locality. Incarnate Word College, San Antonio, TX.
This project focused on survey and excavations at 43 sites in Eddy County. Most of the sites were situated in floodplain and bluff landforms. Elevations varied between 3,250 and 3,500 feet. Vegetation in the study area included riparian associations.
Excavations were less than 1% to 2% samples of each site. Artifact recovery was based on unspecified screen sizes and arbitrary 10cm levels were used in most excavations. Excavations were feature oriented.
Of the total number of excavated prehistoric sites, 18 were burned rock rings/scatter sites, 13 were lithic scatter sites, seven were stone circle/tipi ring sites, and one was a rockshelter site. No historic sites were excavated (see prior citation).
Artifact data were based on laboratory analyses of assemblages. Sample sizes range from 1 - 575 artifacts per site. Lithic analyses focused primarily on debitage assemblages. Stylistic analyses of lithics focused on projectile points. Among the types noted were PaleoIndian, Darl, Pecos Contracting, Pecos Rectanglar, Pecos Indented, Scallorn, San Pedro, Livermore, Fresno, Harrell, Washita, Toyah, Marcos, Leslie 3-D, Historic Metal, Leslie 1-D, and Palmillas.
Ceramic analyses focused on stylistic analyses of assemblages. Ceramic assemblages contained El Paso Brown, El Paso Polychrome, Jornada Brown, Chupadero B/w, South Pecos Brown, Three Rivers R/t, Lincoln B/r, Gila Polychrome, Seco Corrugated, and Corona Corrugated.
Specialized studies include radiocarbon dating, thermolumin-escent dating, faunal, pollen, and floral analyses. Radiocarbon dated from burned rock middens (n=38) ranged from A.D. 220-1500. Thermoluminescent dates proved unproductive. A local phase sequence is developed using these data. Faunal studies show domesticated cattle and goats to be most common, and freshwater mollusks may have been used. Pollen and floral studies show grasslands and Composites to have been frequent.
The report is primarily descriptive in nature and contained tabular summaries and statistical analyses of artifact assemblages.

TITLE Class III Survey and Testing of Cultural Resources at the Melrose Air Force Range, Curry and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico. Mariah Associates, Inc., Albuquerque.
This sample quadrat project encompassed 9,940 acres in Curry and Roosevelt Counties. The project area consisted primarily of plains and playa landforms. Elevations varied between 4,100-4,700 feet. Vegetation in the study area included short-grass prairie.
The survey consisted of a 12.3% sample in which 160 acre parcels and 20m crew spacing formed the basis for data collection. A total of 53 sites and 77 isolated occurrences were recorded during this project. Limited testing was conducted at eight sites. Of the total number of recorded sites, 31 were lithic/groundstone scatter sites, seven were lithic scatter sites, and three were sherd/lithic/fire-cracked rock scatter sites.
Thirteen historic sites were recorded in the study area. Of these, all were Anglo sites. The majority were ranch/homestead complexes with trash dumps, with smaller numbers of corrals. Most date between 1900-1950.
The estimated ages of sites in these groups were based on typological cross-dating, e.g., projectile points and ceramics from each site. Of these sites, one was assigned to the PaleoIndian Period, nine were assigned to the Archaic Period, and three were assigned to the early-middle Ceramic Period. Six sites contained multiple components.
Artifact data were based on in-field and laboratory analyses of assemblages. Lithic analyses focused primarily on debitage assemblages. Stylistic analyses was restricted to pro-jectile points. Sites contained points classified as Ensor, Copley-Yarborough, Ellis, Plainview, Sequoyah-Haskell, Leslie's Type II Biface, Leslie's Type 3-A, Leslie's Type 9, Leslie's Type 2-B, Fresno, Bonham-Alba Series, Folsom, Bajada, Bassett/P78, Uvalde/San Jose, and Marshall/Salt Creek. Ceramic analyses focused on stylistic/petrographic analyses of assemblages. Ceramic assem-blages contained Chupadero B/w, El Paso Brownware, corrugated and micaceous wares.
Radiocarbon, obsidian hydration, and thermoluminescent dating was conducted at four sites. Matched sample dates from two sites indicate little overlap between C14 and TL dating. Obsidian chemical studies showed use of the Jemez Mountain source. Petro-graphic analyses indicated non-local manufacture of corrugated and redware ceramics. Flotation analyses were not productive.
The report contained detailed tabular summaries of artifact classes by site and some statistical analyses of site types by enviromental zones. Little spatial patterning was discerned and adaptations in the regions were thought to be highly mobile.

Elevations varied between 6,180 - 6,362 feet. Vegetation present in the study area included short-grass prairie and pinyon-juniper woodlands.
The survey consisted of a 100% sample in which 15-25m crew spacing formed the basis for data collection. A total of 246 sites and no isolated occurrences were recorded during this project. Extensive testing was conducted at four structures from two sites.
Of the total number of recorded prehistoric sites, 137 were lithic scatter sites, five were masonry pueblo sites, eight were rockshelter sites, one was a petroglyph site, and 23 were "quarry" sites.
Sixty-nine historic sites were recorded in the study area. Of these, 50 were Native American (Navajo, Comanche) sites, five were Anglo log cabins and homestead sites, and 14 were Hispanic homestead/corral sites. Most of these sites date to the 17th century and were the earliest evidence for Navajo use of this region.
Artifact data were based on in-field analyses of assemblages. Lithic analyses focused primarily on debitage assem-blages. Stylistic analyses were restricted to projectile points. Sites contained points classified as San Jose, En Medio, Armijo, Bajada, Baksetmaker II Style, Basketmaker III/Pueblo I Style, Clovis, and Meserve. A 17th century Navajo type having side notches and a basal notch was defined. Ceramic assemblages con-tained Tewa Polished, Tewa Polychrome, Peñasco Micaceous, plain utility, Tewa Black, Tewa Red, Tewa Gray, Tewa "Maroon", Glaze F, Tewa R/bu, Vadito Micaceous, and Santa Fe B/w wares. Historic remains noted in the report included domesticated sheep and goats. Flotation studies indicate the presence of beans from early historic contexts. Faunal remains included domesticated sheep and goats, turkey, mule, deer, jackrabbit, cottontail, antelope, dog, and small mammals (e.g., Neotoma).
The estimated ages of sites in these groups were based on typological cross-dating, e.g. projectile points and decorated ceramics. Of these sites, two were assigned to the PaleoIndian Period, 41 to the Archaic Period, and 33 to the Protohistoric Period. Excavations foucused on small 1-2 room masonry struc-tures. A "vv" decdrochronometric date of A.D. 1887 from AR-513 was argued to be anomalous.

This project focused on excavations at one site in Santa Fe County. The site is situated in floodplain landforms. The elevation is not specified. Vegetation in the study area included pinyon-juniper woodlands.
Excavations samples and artifact recovery methods could not be determined. Excavations were structure oriented.
Of the total number of excavated prehistoric features, 198 were surface rooms, nine were kivas, and seven were pit structures, (10) were ramadas, (5) were borrow pits, and (9) were burial pits. The site was occupied from A.D. 1275-1550. One historic 18th century house site was excavated.
Artifact data were based on laboratory analyses of assemblages. Sample size was 4,735 artifacts from the site. Lithic analyses focused primarily on debitage assemblages. Detailed raw material studies were included in the report. Stylistic analyses of lithics focused on projectile points. Among the types noted were side-notched and corner-notched. Ceramic assemblages contained Abiquiu B/g, Agua Fria G/r, San Clemente Glaze Polychrome, Cieneguilla G/y, Clapboard Corrugated, Blind Indented Corrugated, Bandelier B/g, Largo G/y, Wiyo B/g, Espinoso G-P, San Lazaro Glaze Polychrome, Kwahe'e B/w, Plain Utiltiy, Santa Fe B/w, Sanchez G/r, Puaray Glaze Polychrome, Jeddito B/y, Socorro B/w, Historic Polychrome, Galisteo B/w, Tumacacori Polychrome, San Elizario Polychrome, Huejotzingo Bl/w, San Luis Bl/w, Fig Springs Polychrome, Abajo Polychrome, Puaray Polychrome, Puebla Bl/w, Aranama Polychrome, and Huejotzingo Banded.

TITLE Chronology and Subsistence in the Chama Valley: Archaeological Investigation of Eleven Lithic Scatter Sites in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. Mariah Associates, Inc., Albuquerque.
This project focused on excavations at 11 sites in Rio Arriba County. Most of the sites were situated in dissected ridge land-forms. Elevations varied between 7,120 and 7,320 feet. Vegetation in the study area included pinyon-juniper woodlands.
Excavations were less than 1% of each site. Artifact recovery was based on screen sizes of 1/4in. and arbitrary 10cm levels were used in all excavations.
Of the total number of excavated prehistoric sites, all were multicomponent lithic scatter sites. One historic component was excavated. This was an 1880-1920 Anglo masonry structure site. All sites contained multiple components (Archaic, Protohistoric, and Historic).
Artifact data were based on laboratory analyses of assemblages. Sample sizes range from 32 - 2300 artifacts per site. Lithic analyses focused primarily on debitage assemblages. Detailed raw material studies were included in the report. Stylistic analyses of lithics focused on projectile points. Among the types noted were Bajada, En Medio, San Jose, Armijo, Straight-Stemmed, Trujillo, and PaleoIndian. Chronometric studies of points showed that inferred ages may be erroneous.
Ceramic analyses focused on stylistic analyses of assemblages. Ceramic assemblages contained Chaco Micaceous, San Juan Red, Tewa Utility, and Pueblo IV Micaceous.
Historic artifacts noted in the report include purple glass.
Specialized studies include radiocarbon, obsidian hydration, faunal, and pollen. C14 and obsidian hydration dates confirm that most sites were multicomponent. Sourcing studies of obsidian show that most derived from Polvadera Peak. Faunal studies found Odocoileus and birds. Pollen studies from cultural features found Pinus, Artemesia, and Cheno-ams as dominants.
The report is primarily descriptive in nature and contained inter-site statistical analyses of artifact assemblages.
