Description

This report presents the Phase I results of a joint project between the Office of Archaeological Studies (OAS) of the Museum of New Mexico and the USDA Forest Service (USFS). The objectives of this study were to: 1) Determine whether cultural resources were negatively affected by prescribed burns or wildfire, 2) Determine the degree to which data loss occurs, and 3) Make management recommendations in compliance with existing state and federal regulations for protecting and preserving cultural resources.
