1 <br /> <br />5.0 Inventory Results <br />5.1 American Indian Resources <br />1 The recordation of prehistoric archaeological resources in the <br />area near Dowe Flats dates to the 19905 when various amateur and <br />' professional archaeologists began documenting their findings in the <br />region. William Herbert Dick, Gordon Hewes, and Jack Clifford <br />Moomaw were among those responsible for the earliest site record <br />forms. Although relatively few sites were recorded formally in <br />Boulder County during the 19905 and SOs, amateur artifact <br />' collection was apparently rampant prior to and during that time. <br />Moomaw, in particular, in known to have collected scores of sites <br />' in and near the Dowe Flats area, only a few of which were actually <br />recorded (Burney 1988). Extensive and routine artifact collection <br />by other local residents is documented (Faller 1959). Many of the <br />earliest sites recorded in Boulder County were reevaluated in the <br />' 19805. Site SBL7, located within the study area, and sites SBLB <br />and SBL15, adjacent the study area, are among these. <br />' Tables 3 and 5 list all prehistoric sites and isolated finds <br />recorded within and immediately adjacent the study area. Table 9 <br /> lists frequencies of artifacts and features observed on the <br /> surfaces of sites within the study area proper. This table does not <br /> include the results of test excavations on sites SBL876 and <br /> SBL2931. Information presented in Tables 3-5 was obtained from <br />' OAHP files and from field work conducted for this project, whose <br />report of findings is in preparation. Prehistoric cultural <br />resources within the study area span the Paleo-Indian through <br />' Protohistoric periods. The great majority of datable resources-- <br />both sites and isolated finds-- represent the Early Ceramic through <br />' Late Ceramic period occupations. <br />A total of 19 prehistoric sites is known within the study <br />' area. Of these, 8 (42~) are recommended as eligible for inclusion <br /> <br />51 <br /> <br />
