<br />1468 <br /> <br />are l!enerallv elil!ible for NRHP inclusion include: (I) intact, complex buried sites; (2) sites <br />exhibiting stratigraphically superimposed occupation records; (3) Paleo-Indian and other Early <br />Man sites; (4) physically intact sites that are highly representative of a particular culture or period <br />of occupation; and (5) unique sites that are physically intact. Prehistoric sites which are l!enerally <br />not elil!ible consist of (I) isolated artifacts and isolated features such as hearths; (2) surface lithic <br />and/or ground stone scatters; and (3) sites that lack physical integrity, regardless of their other <br />characteristics. <br /> <br />Historic sites that are generallv eligible for the National Register include (I) those exhibiting a <br />high degree of physical/structural integrity and which are representative of a particular historic <br />period or ethnic occupation; (2) unique sites that are physically intact; (3) intact sites that are <br />associated with particular historically significant events or persons; and (4) vestiges of historic <br />trails. Generallv not eligible historic sites include (I) isolated artifacts; (2) isolated occurrences <br />of industrial, agricultural, or automotive equipment; (3) surficial artifact scatters including trash <br />dumps; and (4) homesteads that are not highly intact. <br /> <br />For purposes of significance evaluation, a third category of cultural property has been identified <br />in response to the passage of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (1978). This category <br />consists of sites which possess religious significance to contemporary Native Americans. Their <br />cultural, religious, and legal significance are largely a matter of interpretation by the tribes <br />themselves or their legal representatives. <br /> <br />Results by Reservoir Study Area <br /> <br />The results of the file searches on the six alternative water storage areas for the Colorado Springs <br />Utilities are summarized. Information includes the projects conducted, the sites recorded, and <br />site evaluations within each alternative water storage area. <br /> <br />Twin Lakes <br /> <br />Cultural Resource Inventory Projects: The project areas of fifteen cultural resource inventories <br />intersect or are within the Twin Lakes study area. Two project areas are adjacent to the Twin <br />Lakes study area. This study area is the most completely studied among the study areas. <br /> <br />Officially Recorded Sites: With one hundred and thirty three (133) officially recorded sites, the <br />Twin Lakes study area has the greatest site density of all the study areas. Of the 133 recorded <br />sites, 71 are prehistoric, 28 are historic, and 33 sites have both prehistoric and historic <br />components. One other site, 5LK827, has been mapped; however, there are no site forms on file <br />at the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. <br /> <br />The prehistoric site components consist of 26 camps with hearths or hearth-associated remains, <br />13 camps without hearths but containing ground stone implements, 61 lithic scatters, one lithic <br />and ceramic scatter, one lithic and bone scatter and one isolated find consisting of a biface. The <br />historic components consist of a variety of historic remains, including numerous trash dumps and <br />scatters, miscellaneous camps, structural remains, roads, ditches, homestead and ranch <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />Cullurallssues <br /> <br />~. <br />
