This grant is for an urgent systematic archaeological survey and condition assessment of the Lake Lucero Site (LA 21162) at White Sands National Monument. Despite frequent visits, its complete spatial extent and cultural features are largely undocumented. Recent observations identified adobe room blocks and high artifact densities suggesting probable buried features, including pithouses, thermal features, trash middens, and human burials. A comprehensive survey is crucial to document these vital resources, enabling White Sands National Monument to effectively manage and protect this invaluable archaeological site.

| Description: | The site for this project is located along the western edge of White Sands National Monument overlooking the Lake Lucero playa, within the deposits of Pleistocene Lake Otero. Numerous visits to the site have been made over the past few decades both as professional investigations and avocational tours. Yet, despite its great research potential, its spatial extent has not been completely documented, nor have all of its cultural features been fully recognized. During a recent visit to the site, a series of adobe room blocks were identified on the ground surface. Additionally, areas of extremely high artifact density indicated the presence of probable buried features such as pithouses, thermal features, trash middens and even human burials. A systematic survey of the Lake Lucero Site is urgently needed to enable White Sands National Monument to properly manage and protect the site. |
