• does overlap the G3dC areas of investigation (Figure 2). <br />All non-recent previously unrecozded resources were triangulated into <br />the UTM grid system and plotted onto the Gould NW, Colorado USGS 7.5' series <br />quadrangle (Figure 2). Each resource was described, the remains tabulated, <br />and Colorado Preservation Office Isoalted Find Forms were completed following <br />assignation of Smithsonian trinomial numbers. For ease of reference, the <br />following use of upper and lower case letters in the resource designations <br />are used in this report: 5 JA- indicates a site, 5 Ja- indicates a locality, <br />and 5 ,ja- indicates an isolated find. Record photographs of the stud area <br />xere taken to document details of terrain, vegetation and current cultural <br />disturbance. The photographs aniinegatives, along with the field notes, are <br />on file at Gordon & Kranzush, Znc. in Boulder. <br />Cme artifact, the isolated find 5 3ak59, was collected during the G3rX <br />studies for further comparative analysis. This item is a projectile point <br />fragment that resembles specimens that date to the Archaic period in southwest- <br />ern Wyoming. The item was washed, catalogued and labelled, researched, and <br />is now being curated by the University of Colorado Museum. <br />• Upan completion of each of the three phases of study conducted in and <br />around the proposed Canadian Strip Nine Extension area, G&X completed and <br />submitted cultural resource summary report forms to the BIM Craig District <br />and Kremmlisig Resource Area offices (see Appendix A). These reports detail <br />the results of the investigations xithin the Mine Plan boundaries as well as 1 <br />]Il surrauadi7lg project areas examined, and include the resource forms. <br />Description of Std ens <br />A complete summary description of the North Park environment is pre- <br />sented elsewhere in the Canadian Strip Mine Extension Plan (e.g. Anderson and <br />Bleacher 19793-6), and rill not be duplicated here. The portions of the <br />Mine Plan area investigated by G&K lie on broad Pleistocene interfluvial ridges <br />and terraces and along the northeast-Flowing drainages of Bush Draw and a <br />tributary of Bolton Draw, with an elevation range from 8260 feet~2518 meters <br />in the southern drainage to 8420 feet~2566 meters in the southeast (Figures 1 <br />• and 2). These draws are intermittent streams that carry runoff rater into <br />-5- <br />
