The last prehistoric period represented in the proposed mine plan area is primarily concerned with the Ute <br /> Indians. The Ute Indian culture was based mostly upon a hunting and gathering society composed of <br /> small bands of people rather than large tribes. Artifacts documenting the presence of these people are <br /> the most numerous in the area, as compared to previous cultures. Archeological remains for this time <br /> period are chiefly represented by chipping stations, rock pictographs and petroglyphs, campsites and <br /> lookout points. Several sites from this time period are found in the area around the Trapper Mine <br /> proposed mine plan area. <br /> Cultural resource surveys that have been conducted within and adjacent to Trapper Mine's proposed mine <br /> plan area are shown on Map M45, and the results of these surveys are presented in Appendix K. The <br /> following is a list of identified sites located inside or within 500 feet of the proposed mine plan area and a <br /> description of surface and subsurface control. <br /> Site No. Mine Permit Area Mine Plan Area Surface Subsurface <br /> 5MF288* Yes Yes State State <br /> 5MF290 Yes No Private Federal <br /> 5MF348* Yes Yes Private Federal <br /> 5MF945* Yes Yes State State <br /> 5MF946* Yes Yes State State <br /> 5MF947* Yes Yes State State <br /> 5MF948 Yes No Private Federal <br /> 5MF950* Yes Yes Private Federal <br /> 5MF1399 Yes Yes Private Federal <br /> 5MF1960* Yes Yes Private Federal <br /> 5MF2253* Yes Yes Private State <br /> 5MF2427* Yes Yes Private Federal <br /> *Sites to be destroyed by proposed mining activities.
