OBJECTIVES The primary objective of the field survey was to locate and evaluate all instances of historic and prehistoric resources within the designated survey areas. All such occurrences were to be identified and, if older than 50 years of age, recorded and evaluated for National Register of Historic Places eligibility. Existing cultural resource data and the RP3 context would form the basis for evaluating a given resource property's importance toward filling gaps in the current knowledge of the area's cultural resource picture. A secondary goal of the work was to confirm the apparent patterning for both historic and prehistoric sites that had accrued from previous cultural resource surveys, including limited use of the area by aborig- inal groups, co-location of sites with water resources, and ephemeral use of the area in historic times by ranchers. METHODOLOGY 4lhenever possible, parallel pedestrian sweeps, 20-30 m apart, were employed to cover the survey tracts. Two situations worked against this procedure in some zones of the survey tracts. The first was vegetation, especially in the lease addition tract where grass and brush were so dense that visibility of the ground surface, and sometimes access, were nearly impossible (see Figure 3). The second type of setting precluding intensive inspection was steep hillsides, particularly when combined with • dense vegetation. Generally speaking, all areas where ground visibility was possible were inspected and slopes exceeding 30% were not intensively surveyed. All areas that appeared to be less than 30% on the topographic map were checked to see if survey was possible. In this manner, all areas of potential site location were intensively checked and other lesser attractive zones were reconnoitered. Intensive coverage was possible for most of the conveyor belt corridor except where steeper slopes were encountered. RESULTS Three types of cultural resources were encountered by the survey, historic trash scatters, isolated finds. and sites. These are described as follows: Historic Trash Scatters Several instances of scattered historic trash, mainly rusted tin cans were noted but not formally recorded because they appear to be generally less than 50 years of age. The locations of these scatters are shown in Figures I and 2. Invariably, these scatters are found on the higher points of ridges and in upland settings. As such, they un- doubtedly represent the remains of campsites associated with animal husbandry, either sheep or cattle. Most of these scatters appear to date • 8
