INTRODUCTION This report discusses archaeological research conducted on lands managed by Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, between July 15 and August 1, 1999. The Pajarito Trails Project (PTP) was designed to achieve the following goals: Examine a sample of previously-identified trails on the Pajarito Plateau which were believed to be in use during the occupation of the region by Ancestral Pueblo people. Re-evaluate those sites (recording new data where appropriate). Develop a protocol to record the salient features of Ancestral Pueblo trails. The 1999 fieldwork also included research within Bandelier National Monument; an additional report (Snead 2000) has been completed concerning that portion of the project. Portions of the background and methodology sections of this report are repeated therein.
