<br />architectural features or rock art and not associated with rock shelters. <br />Since the topography and vegetation of Oak Creek (along which most of the <br />unsurveyed buffer zone lies) are similar to those of the Trout Creek area, <br />it is probable that prehistoric sites of the former would compare in type <br />and frequency with those of the latter. The effects of blasting on open <br />campsites without architectural features are considered likely to be mini- <br />mal. <br />Several Euro-American structures occur in the buffer zone, one of <br />which was recorded as 5RT152; the others have not been recorded. While <br />first-hand evaluations of these other historic properties have not been <br />made, previous studies, including that of the Haybro District (Grand <br />River Institute 1981), have identified no historic sites eligible tc the <br />National Register either within or near the study area. <br />We recommend that this report be considered a declaration of negative <br />findings with respect to the possible effects of blasting on cultural <br />resources within the Edna Mire }-mile buffer zone. <br />Arthur, Christopher and Calvin H.
