eh <br />ESPEY, HUSTON &ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />• <br />vegetation were not inventoried. Figs. E-4 and E-5 show those areas which were <br />100 percent inventoried, those which were checked on game trails and those which <br />were not examined. <br />Surface cultural manifestations were sought in the forms of aztifactual <br />debris, structural remains or unnatural surface disturbance. Road cuts, azroyo <br />banks, anthills, and animal burrows were examined for evidence of subsurface <br />cultural remains. When cultural remains were observed, the azea surrounding the <br />original find was intensively seazched and additional materials were flagged with <br />surveyor's tape. All loci of cultural remains, with the exception of recent cultural <br />debris, were plotted on the appropriate USGS topographic quadrangle. <br />Three categories were used in the description of the cultural remains <br />found. Individual aboriginal items or isolated historic debris were recorded as <br />• isolated finds (IF). Two to five aboriginal items, concentrations of historic debris <br />with ao associated structures, historic to recent camps and aspen art were recorded <br />as localities. Sites were defined as six or more aboriginal aztifacts as well as any <br />structural remains unrelated to recent mining operations in the surveyed tract. The <br />latter category included a cluster of historic and currently utilized structures, <br />corrals and dumps. A collapsed historic structure, adjacent to the northern <br />boundary of the project azea, was briefly noted but not recorded in detail. It will be <br />briefly described with the other cultural remains. <br />Isolated finds and localities were recorded on OSAC isolated find record <br />forms. Sketch maps of each were drawn, and all diagnostic aztifacts were collected. <br />Notes were taken by each of the crew members and several of the localities were <br />photographed. Sites were recorded on OSAC Site Inventory forms. Each site was <br />mapped using a Brunton Pocket Transit mounted on a tripod and paced distances. <br />Sketch maps were completed in the field and later revised in the lab. Artifacts <br />diagnostic of site age or function were provided with provenience measurements and <br />collected for laboratory analysis. Supplementary notes were taken on each site by <br /> <br />E-18 <br />
