<br />The relatively small size of the project area, and the <br />steepness of the terrain thereon, suggest that any cultural <br />resources encountered will be few in number and small in scale. <br />Prehistoric resources are most likely to be small lithic scatters <br />or isolates; the most likely historic resources would be small <br />trash scatters. <br />Field f1ethods <br />The corners of the project area had been previously marked <br />with pin Elags by Robert Dellacrosse and the principal <br />investigator. The Eield survey was conducted by a single <br />archaeologist, the principal investigator, walking transects <br />spaced at 30-meter intervals; transects were walked in a general <br />east-west alignment. The access road was walked in two <br />transects, one on either side of the road. <br />The total area surveyed is approximately 15,2 acres. Surface <br />visibility in the project area was adequate Eor the survey; <br />however there was moderate snow cover an ca. 20-25 percent ^E the <br />area, predominantly on steep, north-facing slopes where site <br />probability is low. <br />Results and Evaluations <br />----------------------- <br />No cultural resources were observed in the prc,]ect area. <br />Evaluation of Research <br />---------------------- <br />The results ^F this investigation are consistent with the <br />expected results. The absence of resources may be accounted Eor <br />by the relatively small size of the pro,7ect area. <br />11 <br />
