<br />The results of this inventory are consistent with those of previous cultural
<br />resource inventories in the area (e.g., Chandler and Nickens 1979a, 1979b), in terms
<br />of the low prehistoric site density on the west side of Red Wash. The site and iso-
<br />lates found during this inventory do indicate, however, that the area was occupied
<br />prehistorically, at least on a transitory basis.
<br />The primary objectives of this archaeological survey have been successfully
<br />met. All cultural resources located within areas of planned mine developpment have
<br />been located, documented, and evaluated. With the exception of site SRB3451 for
<br />which management options have been addressed above, no further archaeological
<br />work is recommended within the project area prior to project development.
