• ABSTRACT <br />Lorencito Coal Company LLC contracted with Greystone Environmental Consultants to conduct an <br />intensive cultural resource inventory for an amended mine permit application. This report is an <br />Addendum to the report ofJune 2001 (Spath and Walth 2001). The cultural resource inventory forthis <br />Addendum report consists ofazeas not surveyed in the above inventory or in the inventory in 1996 by <br />MetcalfArchaeological Consultants, Inc. (McKibbin et al 1997). A total of 100 acres of new survey <br />was completed in the valley floor ofLorencito Canyon, along the south side ofPicketwire Valley, and <br />in the lower portions ofLittle JeffCanyon (Figure 1). In addition to the cultural resources inventory, <br />testing oftwo previously recorded sites was conducted. The cultural resource inventory resulted in the <br />recording of tluee newly discovered isolated finds and the re-evaluation of three previously recorded <br />sites. Two re-evaluated sites contain eagle trap features and remain unevaluated for the National <br />Register of Historic Places (Register) until the Native American consultation is completed. One re- <br />evaluatedsite isconsidered eligible for the Register. The two sites that were tested aze considered not <br />eligible for the Register. Cultural resource clearance is recommended with the stipulation that eligible <br />and unevaluated sites be avoided. For the sites that must be avoided, it is recommended that protective <br />fencing be erected to prevent inadvertent damage and to ensure that all construction activity stay <br />outside site boundaries. <br />• <br /> <br />
