We concur that it Register. 1997 cultural resource report Consultants for the Lorencito provide important information ,~(~ sources and tool manufacturing is eligible to the National ~~(r We concur that the following sites need further data before a determination of eligibility can be completed. 6954 /5TaA6965 ~/v5LA6968 ~'S'2' ~LA6r183~ ~5.F,A6986 The remaining sites identified during this portion of the survey are not eligible to the National Register. No further work is necessary on these sites. However, the potential exists for a National Register district dealing with prehistoric exploitation patterns. As further survey and testing is completed our understanding of these sites and the area may change how we look at the eligibility of the resources. We concur with the research design. However, the auger testing as an alternative means of site discovery (pp. 112-114) should be confined to those areas where construction and mining activities have the potential to affect deeply buried sites. bA6987~ ~3:ACr9.88' ~/5LA6993 5~,A6995 .~LA6998 ~LA6999 ~/5LA7000 /5LA7003 ~LA71)D7 SLA7012 ~LA7181>,.~LA7182 i/5LA7186 ~ 5LA7194 ~5LA7196 ~./5LA'7~99 ./5-LP,9202 `v~LA7208~ -~ , r .Ins-, ,~,, ;~ t -I^lo ry T t, }; I~,~_I, .~; a I I ,~, ~~~ ~~ ;.I~~.I r'l.%~ P~~, l ~~
