Limited-Results Archaeological Survey Form (Page 3 of 3) <br />addition, features associated with historic mining have been recorded along the river valley <br />and the lower portions of adjacent gulches. <br />26. Expected Results: It was expected that a small number ofprehistoric artifacts or historic <br />features associated with livestock grazing would be found in lower open <br />areas near water. Prehistoric or historic artifacts or features were not <br />anticipated on the less accessible ridgetops away from sources of water. <br />VI. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES <br />27. The objective of this survey was to locate and document any prehistoric or historic cultural <br />resources within the identified survey blocks. These resources were to be recorded, and if any <br />were considered significant and potentially eligible for the National Register, plans would have <br />been developed to avoid any adverse impacts to the resources. <br />VII. FIELD METHODS <br />28. Definitions: Site Prehistoric site =five or more prehistoric artifacts or fewer than five artifacts <br />with feature. Historic sites = 10 or more items. <br />IF Prehistoric = up to four items; historic = up to nine items. <br />29. Describe Survey Method; <br />All gently to moderately sloping areas within the survey blocks were surveyed by pedestrian transects <br />at 15- to 20-meter intervals. In aeeas of dense trees or brush, straight transects and regulaz intervals <br />were maintained to the extent feasible. Steep slopes (greafer than 30 percent grade) were not walked <br />systematically, but were visually scanned for indications of structural features (mines, roads, small <br />buildings) or potential rockshelters. <br />VIII.

Using your professional knowledge of the region, why are there none or very limited <br />cultural remains in the project area? Is there subsurface potential? <br />Most of the project azea is too rugged or too far from reliable sources of water, Sediments are rocky <br />and poorly consolidated, and there is very little potential for undiscovered subsurface cultural <br />materials. <br />
