This (1) with (2) my verbal <br />input on the Tuesday/20 July 1976 meeting constitute my <br />formal archaeological evaluation of the entire study area. <br /> <br />(a) I regard the archaeological value of the Brown's Park <br />Segment as outstandingly significant. <br /> <br />(b) I regard the Yampa and Green Rivers within the Monument <br />not as outstandingly significant, but rather as exceIlent. <br /> <br />They constitute a very good normative sample of local pre- <br />history and history, and are a ~monstrated producer of <br />archaeological data. However, this data does not differ <br />materially from what we expect or know from adjacent drainages. <br />The Brown's River Segment in contrast is outstanding due to its <br />excellent potential for stratified multi-component sites bearing <br />upon this normative data but in the new dimensions of preserva- <br />tion and the immediately adjacent horticultural base. <br /> <br />My best, <br /> <br />{ ellc\osure <br />U \l\l\1,e(s) 0 <br />.-.:l-- {oM'" <br /> <br /> <br />ruce E.
