iii iiiiiiiiiiii iii MAC Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Inc. 18 June 1999 Rocky Thompson 29515 Routt Co. Rd. 27 Oak Creek, CO 80487 Dear Rocky, Enclosed please find a copy of our report on the cultural resource inventory of the proposed seismic lines 9901, 9902, and 9903 and the proposed core holes PDS-9901 and 9902. We encountered three previously recorded sites, three new sites, and four isolated finds along the seismic lines. The new sites and one previously recorded site aze all prehistoric and are located along seismic line 9903 and a deviation in the line was proposed and inventoried. The previously recorded site was assessed to be unevaluated at the time of original recording, and we saw no reason to change the assessment. The three new sites were all assessed as potentially eligible. One of the remaining two previously recorded sites is a prehistoric site located on seismic line 9902 and originally assessed as potentially eligible. Our revisitation caused us to re-evaluate the site as not eligible. A deviation in this line was also surveyed, but due to the recommended not eligible assessment, the deviation is not required to be utilized. The final previously recorded site is an historic site on seismic line 9901 and was assessed to be not eligible when it was originally recorded. We found nothing to change this assessment, and no deviation was proposed. Two of the isolated finds are historic and two are prehistoric. They are located on both seismic lines 9901 and 9902. No cultural resources were encountered on the core holes PDS-9901 and 9902, or their access road. Cultural resource cleazance for the project is recommended provided that all seismic activities aze restricted to within 50 feet of the centerline along the deviation of line 9903. All augering activities and shot holes must remain along the flagged centerlines and no driving may take place more than 50 feet from the flagged centerlines except on established and maintained roads. No further is work is recommended. Two copies of this report and site forms have been sent to Hal Keesling, BLM Craig Field Office archaeologist. He will forward one copy to the Colorado SHPO. One copy of this report and site forms has been sent to Jerry Nettleton of Montgomery Watson. They will submit this copy to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology.
