N.M. Code R. § 4.10.15.13 - RECORDING ISOLATES DURING SURVEY
A. There is no standardized form for
recording isolates on state lands. Isolates shall be listed and described in a
table, on a form developed by the individual or firm performing the survey or
on a form required by the state agency.
(1)
Include all qualitative and quantitative observations relevant to the artifact
consistent with the standards for in-field analysis in this section. Make type
or series identifications when possible.
(2) If the isolate consists of more than one
item, record the dimensions of the distribution (for example, three flakes
scattered over 2-by-3 meter area or sherds from a single pottery vessel
scattered over a 75-cm diameter area).
B. Determine the location of the isolate and
plot on a copy of a USGS 7.5-minute (1:24,000) topographic quadrangle map;
include name, date and code of the map. Determining location with a global
positioning system (GPS) unit to 10-meter accuracy is encouraged.
C. Illustrate diagnostic artifacts and other
items or take photographs if they will aid in the description or identification
of the item.
