Maxwell Principal Investigator ARCHAEOLOGY NOTES 276 SANTA FE 2000 NEW MEXICO ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY This report details the results of excavations carried out on two sites located in the Sierra Blanca region of south-central New Mexico. Both sites are within NMSHTD right-of-way acquired from privates sources. The Angus site (LA 3334) was partially excavated in 1956 by Stewart Peckham of the Laboratory of Anthropology, Museum of New Mexico, because of road construction activities at the intersection of NM 37 and 48 at Angus, near Ruidoso, in Lincoln County, New Mexico. In 1997, proposed reconstruction of the bridge over NM 48 was the impetus for further testing at the site because the existing right-of-way had not been fully excavated in 1956. The testing program (Zamora 1998) revealed evidence of buried cultural deposits and several utilized surfaces. The Little Creek site (LA 111747) seemed to represent a small lithic and ceramic scatter. The site was tested and also contained subsurface artifacts but no cultural features were located. Subsequent excavations revealed a lack of features. Based on the ceramics from the site, it dates to the mid-Glencoe phase at ca. A.D. 1100-1200. However, most of the site was found to lie under a commercial development, the extent of which indicates that it was once probably a moderate-sized community. Data recovery plans for the Angus site called for reopening the square kiva dug by Peckham in 1956 and locating any other cultural features. Besides the kiva, Office of Archaeological Studies (OAS) excavations uncovered five cobble-walled surface rooms, two shallow pit structures, an outside work area with a ramada, a large storage pit, and two areas of heavy trash deposits. One pit structure may date somewhat earlier than the kiva and associated rooms at ca. A.D. 1015. The other pit structure may date to ca. A.D. 1265. The main occupation of the site produced 15 radiocarbon dates with a mean date of A.D. 1310, placing it late in the prehistoric sequence for the Sierra Blanca region of New Mexico. Ceramics and architectural styles correlate with several of the phase designations used for the region. A minor Athabaskan occupation may also be present on the site as indicated by several Athabaskan Utility sherds and 14C dates in the 1400s. A wide variety of projectile points and grinding implements indicate that the subsistence economy was diversified. This report examines the implications of this diversity in terms of adaptations within the settlement system.

While their rhetoric casts the US as a victim of China’s unfair rise, in reality the US’ climb to world leadership was helped by its own sabotage of Chinese development. In a joint statement on Friday. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence acting Chairman Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) said they agree with US Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe “that China poses the greatest national security threat to the United States. Our intelligence is clear: the Chinese Communist Party will stop at nothing to exert its global dominance.” The day prior, Ratcliffe penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in which he argued that “the People’s Republic of China poses the greatest threat to America today, and the greatest threat to democracy and freedom world-wide since World War II.” Ratcliffe claimed “Beijing intends to dominate the US and the rest of the planet economically, militarily and technologically” through a vast espionage plan to steal intellectual property from the US, replicate the technology, then edge those same firms out of the market - a strategy he called “rob, replicate and replace.” Ratcliffe’s article isn’t limited to attacking the Communist Party of China, however: he also warns of the dangers “Chinese nationals” pose to intellectual property and to “research and development secrets,” noting the FBI is “frequently arresting” them.

    THE NATIVE FISH FAUNA OF MAJOR DRAINAGES EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE IN NEW MEXICO A Thesis Presented to the Graduate Faculty of Biology Eastern New Mexico University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements fdr -the7Degree: Master of Science in Biology by Michael D. Hatch December 1984 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction Study Area Procedures Results and Discussion Summary Acknowledgements Literature Cited Appendices Abstract INTRODUCTION r (t. The earliest impression of New Mexico's native fish fauna =Ems during the 1850's from naturalists attached to various government survey parties. Without the collections from these and other early surveys, the record of the native fish fauna would be severely deficient because, since that time, some 1 4 native species - or subspecies of fish have become extirpated and the ranges of an additionial 22 native species or subspecies have become severly re- stricted. Since the late Miocene, physiographical changes of drainages have linked New Mexico, to varying degrees, with contemporary ichthyofaunal elements or their progenitors from the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains, the Chihuahuan Desert, the Mexican Plateau, the Sonoran Desert and the Great Basin. Immigra- tion from these areas contributed to the diversity of the state's native ichthyofauna. Over the millinea, the fate of these fishes waxed and waned in ell 4, response to the changing physical and _chenaca-l-conditions of the surrounding environment. Ultimately, one of the most diverse fish faunas of any of the interior southwestern states developed. Fourteen families comprising 67 species of fish are believed to have occupied New Mexico's waters historically, with strikingly different faunas evolving east and west of the Continental Divide.

    SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT JTF-6 FENCE AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION, DOUGLAS, COCHISE COUNrry, ARIZONA Prepared for: JOINT TASK FORCE SIX FORT BLISS, TEXAS Prepared by: U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS FT. WORTH DISTRICT Ft. Worth, Texas JULY 1997 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Environmental Assessment (EA) addresses the potential for significant adverse or beneficial environmental impacts in accordance with provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This document was tiered from existing EAs completed for previous construction activities (U.S. Army 199la, 1993) in the same vicinity, and a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement completed for Joint Task Force Six (JTF-6) activities along the U.S.-Mexico border (U.S. Army 1994). The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the U.S. Border Patrol, Tucson Sector are proposing to replace approximately six miles of fence, construct 0.5 miles of new road, and improve 0.8 miles of road along the U.S.-Mexico border at Douglas, Cochise County, Arizona. Approximately 1.3 miles would be of decorative fence, with the remaining 4.9 miles of steel landing mat. These agencies have requested support from JTF-6 for the use of military personnel and equipment to complete this action. JTF-6 has requested that the Fort Worth District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers assess the potential for impacts related to construction of the fences. The proposed action would increase the U.S. Border Patrol's ability to complete their mission of reducing illegal drug traffic into the U.S. The proposed construction area encompasses approximately six miles of existing border fence near Douglas within a corridor that would be a maximum of 30 feet wide.

  • Appendix I. 2015 Stocking Schedule
    Welcome to the Fisheries of New Mexico! New Mexico offers abundant angling opportunities for the public to enjoy. We have isolated mountain lakes, montane meadow streams, the rugged Rio Grande Gorge, large reservoirs with monster striped bass or lake trout, and the list goes on and on. New Mexico also supports a unique and diverse native fish fauna. Despite this diversity and the Department’s long contributions to wildlife conservation efforts, the Department has never developed a comprehensive plan which describes overarching vision for contemporary and future management for all fisheries in the state. Considering the modern challenges and conflicts within natural resource management, the Department recognized a clear need to better communicate with anglers, resource users, and the general public how we plan to manage a particular lake, stream, or river. I believe this Statewide Fisheries Management Plan does just that. While this is the first ever plan of such comprehensive scope in New Mexico, it really is a summary of the conventional knowledge, vision, and decades of work by the Department and its partners who work to conserve our aquatic resources. Our collective knowledge and vision is now readily available to all interested individuals. By being available to the general public, this document will help to explain the “why” behind our activities. I hope you find it useful to join the Department in conserving New Mexico’s wildlife for future generations. -Alexandra Sandoval, Director NMDGF Fisheries Management Plan 2015 Page 1 Table of Contents Introduction and Purpose of Plan ................................................................................................... 6 Scope and Organization of Plan ...................................................................................................... 7 Overview of NMDGF Fisheries Program ........................................................................................
