Book Description
The construction of a public middle school on land that is under the jurisdiction of the US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has been proposed by the Las Cruces Public School administration. The proposed middle school is located on the outskirts east of the City of Las Cruces, Dona Ana County, New Mexico. Between June 15 and 25, 1995 a cultural resource clearance survey of 45.7589 acres located in the Las Cruces District Mimbres Resource Area was performed by Barbara Staley Brown and Judith A. McNew of Archaeo-Associates, Ltd. Co. at the request of Mr. Larry Altamirano, Assistant Superintendent of Support Services for Las Cruces Public Schools. Two large prehistoric sites were encountered during the survey. LA 110184 (A-ALc 9505-1) is predominantly a burned rock midden with 16 chipped stone artifacts and one groundstone fragment. LA 110185 (ALc 9505-2) is a large lithic scatter with four ash stains, one groundstone fragment and plain Brownware sherds from three vessels. Conventionally, such plain Brownware ceramics were produced and used from approximately A.D. 900 to 1350. A mitigation plan consisting of extensive, systematic shovel-testing of both sites was developed by Archaeo-Associates personnel and BLM Mimbres Resource Area Archaeologist, Mr. T. L. Holcomb. With the exception of one subsurface ash stain in LA 110185 (A-ALc 9505-2), no clear and unambiguous cultural deposits were uncovered. Two lithic artifacts and one possible historic feature that were not associated with the archaeological sites were recorded as isolated occurrences. Measuring and recording the attributes associated with the sites, their contents, and the isolated artifacts has exhausted their data potential. No historic sites or artifacts were observed. Archaeological clearance is recommended with the proviso that the construction process be monitored by a qualified archaeologist to insure that any subsurface, culturally significant deposits are recorded and/or recovered.

Book Description
Between February 27 and March 7, 2008, archaeologists from the Fort Bliss Directorate of Public Works - Environment conducted a pedestrian survey of 24 acres for a proposed power line running from Range 47 to Range 48 and 49, Dona Ana Range, New Mexico. The APE is a 15 m wide by 6.4 mile long corridor that runs along an existing dirt road. The APE will have poles installed along the length of the corridor using a drilling rig. Areas of large coppice dunes will be bladed prior to pole installation to ease pole installation and create a service access line along the route. The project was initiated to comply with the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 as amended (PL-96-515) and guided by 36 CFR 800 as implemented through the Fort Bliss Programmatic Agreement and AR 200-4; the Archaeological and Historical Preservation Act (AHPA) of 1974 as amended (PL-93-291); the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (PL-90-190) as implemented by 40 CFR 6, 40 CFR 1500-1508, 32 CFR 651, and AR 200-2; and Executive Order Number 11593 (Protection and Enhancement of the Environment). Five new sites were documented along the proposed power line corridor. Of these, only one was considered eligible for inclusion to the NRHP. Eight previously recorded sites lie along the proposed power line corridor. Of these, two (LA 97945 and LA 92563) have been recommended eligible for inclusion to the NRHP; three sites are recommended not eligible for the NRHP and have NM SHPO concurrence and are not considered further in this report as the project will have no effect. Three other sites were recently re-evaluated and found to be not eligible for the NRHP. The two eligible sites have been subjected to data recovery and are considered mitigated; the project will have no adverse affect at these sites. One site, LA 91032, was of undetermined eligibility and re-evaluated during the current project. This site was determined eligible for the NRHP and is currently within a Restricted Zone. The power line installation will have no adverse effect on the qualities that make this site eligible. In sum, the current project will have no adverse affect on any historic properties.
