STUDY RESULTS • . A review of the records of the Office of the State Archaeologist, The State Historic Preservation Officer, and with the Little Snake Resource Area Office of the Bureau of Land Management located no recorded sites in the Seneca II parcel or buffer zone. Cultural resource inventories in the immediate area have located sensitive site types, including rock art, rock shelter, and historic structures (Arthur 1977; McNamara 1978; Wheeler,1980b). None of these are on the property in question, however. Archaeological and historical literature indicates that there is indeed a possibility of locating sensitive sites in the buffer zone. Major points of this review are presented in the report on the cultural resource inventory of the Seneca II coal lease (Wheeler 1980a)and will not be detailed here. It is sufficient to note that aboriginal groups, • especially those with Fremont and Ute affiliations, are noted for the production of rock art, and t'rat the utilization of rock shelters (as habi*_ation sites), when available, has been a characteristic of aboriginal groups since Paleo-Indian times. It is also worthy of note that °uro-American sites are commonly architectural, and that these cultures are known to have been in the area. The literature also made_it clear, though it was not explicitly stated, that rock art and rock shelter sites occur in rock overhangs where water erosion has produced steep rock walls. These overhangs in steep rock walls occur along drainages where there has been enough water erosion to downcut into the rock, producing the steep walls. Usually these overhangs were utilized for habitation when they exhibit a southern exposure, though this is not al;aays the case. Field inspection located a historic standing structure • down the valley from 5RT142 (see Wheeler 1980a). The 5
