Known Cultural Resources <br />In the project azea: <br />In the general region: Overviews of the prehistory and history of the region aze provided in th <br />Colorado Council ofProfessional Archaeologists' oubGcationentitled "Colorado Prehistory A Conte <br />for the Northern Colorado River Basin" (Reed and Metcalf 19991 and the Colorado Historical Society <br />publication "Colorado Plateau Country Historic Context" (Husband. 19841. <br />26. Expected Results: No cultural resources were expected of the low densiri of sites recorded } <br />lazge block surveys in the area and the heave vegetation cover. <br />~J <br />VI. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES <br />27. The purpose of the study was to identify and record all cultural remains over 50 veazs old within t} <br />aeeas of potential impact, to assess their significance and eligibility to the National Register of Histor <br />Places (hIRHP), and make recommendations concerning management. If possible, the remains w <br />add to our understanding of the prehistory and history of the region. <br />VII. FIELD METHODS <br />28. Definitions: Site Sites were defined by the presence of six or more artifacts and/or a significant <br />feature(sl indicative of patterned hutnan activity that were detetmitted to be at ]east SO years old. <br />IF Single activity remains usually represented by the presence of I to S artifacts appazently of <br />surficial nature. <br />29. Describe Survey Method: A pedestrian cultural resources survey of the nine 4.S-acre block areas ar <br />the approximately 7100 feet of proposed new access roads was conducted by a visual reconnaissan~ <br />for open ground and for standingprehistoric or historic structures (A transect inspection was <br />impossible due to the heave vegetation cover.) ___ <br />VIII. RESULTS <br />30. List IFs if applicable <br />A. Smithsonian Number: <br />Indicate IF locations on the map completed for Part I; <br />Description: <br />31. Using your professional knowledge of the region, why are there none or very limited cultur <br />retrains in the project area? Is there subsurface potential? <br />• The cultural resource potential of this region is tmited by e~ctreme slopes and heave vegetation cove <br />Subsurface cultural deposits ar° not expected and no further work is recommended. <br />
