<br />Archaeological Findings
<br />Because the Windy Gap pipeline
<br />delivers water through a federal
<br />reclamation project. It was required
<br />that on-Site archaeological examina-
<br />tions be conducted along its route. In
<br />September of 1981. as a grader was
<br />scraping oN topsoil. several Indian
<br />ruins dating back 4,000 toB,OOOyears
<br />were uncovered at a SIte northeast of
<br />Granby.
<br />Construction was halted so that a
<br />team of archaeologists could excavate
<br />the sites which were later deemed
<br />eligible for placement on the Na!lOnal
<br />Register of Hlstonc Places.
<br />Federal funding was unavailable for
<br />research since these specifiC SItes
<br />were located on private property. The
<br />Subdistrict prOVided a tOla! of $370.000
<br />for excavation and study of the finds
<br />and $85.000 was solicited by the U.S_
<br />government from private foundations.
<br />On August 1, 1982, construction of
<br />the pipeline resumed_ Field specimens
<br />and notes from the dig were trans-
<br />ported to the Western Cuttural
<br />Resources Management Laboratory
<br />In Boulderwhere they were analyzed.
<br />An exhibit and slide show of the
<br />digging is on display at the Grand
<br />County Museum.
