ABSTRACT <br />• On June 8-10, 1987 Powers Elevation, Inc. (Powers) performed <br />a cultural resources inventory of about 180 acres in Sections <br />6 and 7, T.SN., R.86w., Routt County, Colorado, for Peabody <br />_ Coal Company (Peabody). The project area is proposed <br />' as an extension of the Seneca II coal mine, on lands owned <br />by the State of Colorado and leased to Cyprus Minerals. <br />Powers conducted the work under Colorado State Permit <br />No. 87-1, so that the possible adverse effects of the <br />project on significant cultural properties can be reviewed <br />-- by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the <br />Colorado Mine Land Reclamation Division (CMLRD) as part <br />of the mine permitting process. <br />The project area was inventoried by a professional archae- <br />olggist walking about 30 m transects. The goal of the <br />investigations was to locate, record, identify, and evaluate <br />all cultural resources in the survey area. <br />One isolated prehistoric artifact was located and recorded <br />during the survey. It is not eligible for nomination <br />to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Because <br />the project will not impact any significant cultural sites <br />it is recommended that it be allowed to proceed as planned. <br />~J <br />• <br />
