    Cultural Resources Overview Desert Peaks Complex of the Organ Mountains – Desert Peaks National Monument Doña Ana County, New Mexico

    Cultural Resources Overview Desert Peaks Complex of the Organ Mountains – Desert Peaks National Monument Doña Ana County, New Mexico Myles R. Miller, Lawrence L. Loendorf, Tim Graves, Mark Sechrist, Mark Willis, and Margaret Berrier Report submitted to the Wilderness Society Sacred Sites Research, Inc. July 18, 2017 Public Version This version of the Cultural Resources overview is intended for public distribution. Sensitive information on site locations, including maps and geographic coordinates, has been removed in accordance with State and Federal antiquities regulations. Executive Summary Since the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in 1966, at least 50 cultural resource surveys or reviews have been conducted within the boundaries of the Desert Peaks Complex. These surveys were conducted under Sections 106 and 110 of the NHPA. More recently, local avocational archaeologists and supporters of the Organ Monument-Desert Peaks National Monument have recorded several significant rock art sites along Broad and Valles canyons. A review of site records on file at the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division and consultations with regional archaeologists compiled information on over 160 prehistoric and historic archaeological sites in the Desert Peaks Complex. Hundreds of additional sites have yet to be discovered and recorded throughout the complex. The known sites represent over 13,000 years of prehistory and history, from the first New World hunters who gazed at the nighttime stars to modern astronomers who studied the same stars while peering through telescopes on Magdalena Peak. Prehistoric sites in the complex include ancient hunting and gathering sites, earth oven pits where agave and yucca were baked for food and fermented mescal, pithouse and pueblo villages occupied by early farmers of the Southwest, quarry sites where materials for stone tools were obtained, and caves and shrines used for rituals and ceremonies.

    MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO OFFICE OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES A Plan for Data Recovery Investigations at LA 84927, LA 89021, and LA 138960, U.S. 84/285 Santa Fe to Pojoaque Corridor, Santa Fe County, New Mexico Jeffrey L. Boyer, Steven A. Lakatos, and James L. Moore Contributions by Nancy J. Akins Eric Blinman Pamela McBride Mollie S. Toll C. Dean Wilson Submitted by Timothy D. Maxwell Principal Investigator Archaeology Notes 323 SANTA FE 2003 NEW MEXICO ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY In April 2003, the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department (NMSHTD) requested that the Museum of New Mexico's Office of Archaeological Studies (OAS) prepare a plan for data recovery at sites LA 84927, LA 89021, and LA 138960. The sites are located near the Rio Tesuque on Pueblo of Tesuque land in Santa Fe County, New Mexico. Data recovery will be performed prior to planned reconstruction of U.S. 84/285. The three sites have multiple components, with evidence of probable Archaic and prehis- toric Puebloan occupations. Structures, features, and intact deposits are present. The sites have the potential to contribute information to our understanding of regional history and prehisto- ry, and have substantial integrity. This document presents the proposed data recovery plan. Data recovery investigations will be conducted in areas of the sites coinciding with proposed construction activity. Data recovery efforts at LA 84927, LA 89021, and LA 138960 are linked to the overarching research orientation of the encompassing U.S. 84/285 Santa Fe to Pojoaque Corridor Project. The project research orientation focuses on, but is not limited to, inter- and intra-regional social and ideological relationships, community formation, economic and subsistence strate- gies, and ethnic identities in the Tewa Basin.

(For this paper theterms "Tewa sociations of such tangible items and attributes as settlement patterns, world" and "rift area" will be used synonymously to refer only to the house types, layouts of architec!Ural features, and categories of local Espanola Basin.) The Tewa world thus is comprisedof the Rio Grande and intrusive pottery, stone, bone, and other artifacts. Geological. bo­ valley and its tributaries, theTewa pueblos, their fields, theirrange for tmical, and zoological data could permit the in-depth recognition of hunting and gathering, and theirsacred areas. Beginning at a shrine in relationsrups between thecult ural assemblagesfrom the prehistoric sites ihe center of the plaza in each of the Tewa pueblos, and extending and those that could be observed among the living pueblos, as well as outward in the cardinal directions to distant mountains that form the the reconstruction of the prehistoric environment and its effects on the horizon, a series of other shrines serves to delineate the Tewa world in culture being studied.
