Abstract

In October of 1985, the Army Corps of Engineers, Albuquerque District, contracted Mariah Associated, Inc. to conduct a cultural resource survey and assessment of approximately 1050 acres and 3.2 miles of access road in the Cuchillo Negro drainage northwest of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, the site of a proposed dam and floodpool. A total of 20 archaeological sites was located; six of these were subsequently tested. Sites included Archaic scatters, Mogollon structural sites, and recent historical sites. Seventy-two isolated artifacts were recorded. Ancillary studies included paleontological survey and ethnographic interviews. Results of a Class III cultural and paleontological assessment of lands lying within the area of potential impact are reported.
