Known Cultural Resources <br />In the project area: <br />in the general region; Overviews of the prehistory and history of tbe region are provided in documents <br />published by the Colorado Couceil of Professional Archaeologists' entitled "Colorado Prehistory: A <br />Context for the Northern Colorado Plateau" (Reed and Metcalf 1999). and by the Colorado Historical <br />Society entitled "Colorado Plateau Cou~rv Historic Context" (Husband 19841. <br />26. Expceted Results: No significant resources were expected because of the Steen, rough terrain and <br />VI. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES <br />27. The purpose of the slud~was to identifv and record all cultraai remains over 50 years old within the <br />area of Qotential impact, to assess their significance and elieibility to tbe National Register of Historic <br />Places (NRHP). and make recommendations epnrrrninn rent If possible, the mains will <br />add to our understanding of the nrehistorv and history of the region. <br />VII. FIELD METHODS <br />28.

Is there subsurface potential? <br />The low density of sites and isolated finds in this area is attributed to steep, rou.~~terrain and dense <br />
