Notes: Prior to the construction of the Roswell Relief Route (a highway constructed primarily for the transportation of nuclear waste materials around, rather than through, the city of Roswell, NM), 5 sites were determined to be examined for archaeological materials.  Four of the sites are included in this report (the fifth–a historic homestead site–would be submitted separately).  Three of the sites were hearths and artifact scatters, but the fourth–Los Molinos (LA 68182)–consisted of “…88 bedrock grinding features, a natural crevice filled with prehistoric refuse, and thousands of artifact, animal bone, floral remains, human remains, and rich organic soil.” (From the Administrative Summary).  VERY RARE.  No other copies available for sale.
