Archaeological site discovered at Holloman Air Force Base

Recently, a significant archaeological discovery was made within the confines of Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.

Geomorphologists and members of the 49th Civil Engineer Squadron environmental flight unearthed an 8,200-year-old campsite in early March, believed to have been inhabited by some of the state’s earliest settlers.

The site was buried by the formation of white sand dunes, with windblown silt inadvertently preserving the archaeological remains.

Matthew Cuba, the squadron’s cultural resource manager, emphasized the site’s importance in shedding light on the region’s history and its early inhabitants.

Excavations have yielded approximately 70 artifacts, including flake stones and a rare early ground stone, the Air Force Times has reported.
