Notes: Archaeology Notes 232.  Over a seven year period the OAS conducted four separate surveys, testing programs and data recovery plans for the State Highway Department, prior to their widening of two roads in southwestern New Mexico.  108 sites were recorded, 40 tested, and 25 were prepped for excavation.  “The 25 excavated sites represent either prehistoric or protohistoric occupations within the Mogollon Highlands.  They include 38 identifiable components of which 6 were determined to be Archaic, 4 Early Mogollon Pithouse period, 6 Late Pithouse period, 5 Early Pueblo, 6 Late Pueblo, 6 Athabaskan, 2 unknown artifact scatters, and 3 sites redeposited by erosion.”  (From the Introduction).  Volume 1 of a 6 volume set.  The authors fudge on defining the actual Mogollon Highlands, though maps indicate west-central New Mexico.
