Excavation of a lithic artifact scatter. Examination of dune structure indicated occupation after 5500 B.C. Site probably used through Basketmaker II. LA 11904 was a small non-ceramic site located in an active dune situation in the Gallegos Wash District of northwestern New Mexico. It was apparently occupied over an approximate 1000-year span by hunter-gatherer groups whose lithic assemblages, though sparse, suggest an emphasis on gathering and processing wild plant products. Some expedient use of local lithic materials for processing game is evident, probably for immediate consumption while the site was used over short-term visits in the Spring and Summer. A single projectile point recovered is similar to Basketmaker II dart points and indicates that the latest of two temporally separate occupation units may date [from the post-contact period]. Comparison of pollen and dune stratigraphy with other situations in the Southwest suggests occupation of the earlier unit(s) within the last two millenia BC.

Recent Office of Contract Archeology, University of New Mexico excavations and site evaluation projects in the Tularosa Basin have revealed a series of short term residences and logistical camps. Radiocarbon dates obtained from these sites revealed that they were occupied during the Middle and Late Archaic periods as well as during the Mesilla Phase of the Jornada Mogollon period. Our systematic data collection resulted in the emergence of patterns in architectural and thermal features and in overall site layouts. Importantly, residential sites such as Huesos Quemados (LA 62143) and Casas Vecinas (LA 62136) revealed that Archaic life ways changed minimally upon the adoption of pottery during the Mesilla phase.

Thirty-three archeological sites were investigated along New Mexico State Road 170, the La Plata Highway, by the Museum of New Mexico. The purpose of the testing was t o assess the significance of these sites which will be impacted by the rerouting and upgrading of SR 170. This report describes the testing of the sites and provides recommendations for the mitigation of any adverse impact to the sites. A research design is also provided in the event sites must be excavated.
