• present nearby. There is no evidence of habitation structure remains. The area appears to have <br />been utilized for storage and trash dumping and was not recorded. <br />The survey results at this tract are consistent with those Tucker found in his 1986 coverage of the <br />adjacent Tract Ii. If once present at all, any remains of prehistoric materials have been obliterated <br />or obscured by land use activities. On the other hand, a subjective observation is that the acreage <br />within Tract IIA does not possess a medium orhigh probability for prehistoric site occurrence. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Given the results of the survey for Tract IIA, it is impossible to add to any interpretation of historic <br />or prehistoric utilization of this land. As Tucker (1986:18) noted, historic use of the area began in <br />the first decade of this century. While records or oral history data for the study tract could be <br />available to aid in the understanding of historical land use patterns, it does not appear that any <br />significant historical structures or sites are located in the tract. <br />As a result of the field analysis, no further cultural resource site work is recommended for the <br />acreage contained within Tract IIA of the New Horizon 2 Mine. <br />• WFC Efforts <br />From the above discussions taken from Nickens & Associates reports included in the Peabody <br />applications, it is clear that there were no archaeological or historic sites in Tracts II and IIA. Tracts <br />II &IIA encompass the New Horizon 2 mining area. There was no information in the Peabody <br />permit about Tract III. Since Tract II I is outside the boundary of this permit request, no attempt was <br />made to determine the results of the survey at Tract III. <br />• (Revised July 2006) <br />2.04.4-8 <br />
