<br />0=1499 <br /> <br />~ structures have been excavated from TC:9:8-12 of which reports <br /> <br /> <br />(1970, 1973) on two of these sites have been submitted to the National <br /> <br /> <br />Park Service with the third to be submitted in the near future. <br /> <br />Additional habitation structures are to be excavated. Six Sopris <br /> <br />Phase habitation structures habe been excavated at TC:C9:20 and there <br /> <br />are indications that snother house structure is present. Most of <br /> <br />this- work has been reported by Caryl Wood and Stephen Ireland (1973) <br /> <br />with an additional report to be completed and submitted in the near <br /> <br />future. Site TC:C9:144, containing a Sopris Phase house, has been <br /> <br /> <br />completely excavated with no additional field work required. A <br /> <br /> <br />report on the results of this study will be submitted to the National <br /> <br /> <br />Park Service within the next few months. The Park Service does not <br /> <br />have the necessary additional funds for this excavation wolk, other <br /> <br />projects having higher priorities. Also the Park Service maintains <br /> <br />that a reordering of priorities to include this salvage work cannot <br /> <br />be "justified at the present time." By law, the Corps cannot fund <br /> <br />salvage activities. These sites are being protected with the hope <br /> <br />that this matter can be resolved. <br /> <br />Mr. Ireland has listed three sites in close proximity to, but <br />outside project lands, as worthy of historical importance and has <br />taken the preliminary steps to have them included in the National <br />Registry of Historic Places. These sites are: the Cokedale coke <br /> <br />ovens, a Penitente morada, and the northern boundary of the Beaubien <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />and Miranda (Maxwell) Grant. <br /> <br /> <br />In compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preserva- <br /> <br /> <br />tion Act of 1966, the National Register of Historic Places as well <br /> <br />II -25 <br /> <br />, <br />
