V. LITERATURE REVIEW (continued)
25. Known Cultural Resources
In the project area: None known.
In the general region (summarize): Three isolated finds, all consisting of prehistoric artifacts, have been
found in the immediate vicinity of the project area. In surrounding areas, densities of sites and IFs are very
low.
26. Expected Results: The discovery of isolated artifacts and/or one or two small sites relating to the prehistoric or
historic periods was expected.
