Living on the Land: 11,000 Years of Human Adaptation in Southeastern New Mexico

摘要

The New Mexico Bureau of Land Management's Roswell District includes approximately 18,400,000 acres in southeastern New Mexico. The purpose of overviews such as this one is to provide a detailed synthesis of known cultural resources and archeological and historical research in the District under discussion. The audience for such information is twofold: both professional Archeologists working in the field of cultural resource management and land managers who are responsible for managing archeological and historical sites on the lands under their jurisdiction. In an effort to meet management needs and to provide background for archeological research, the overview has been designed to include not only summary information on previous research, culture history, and major sites in the District, but also information on research topics that are particularly applicable to the Roswell District.
