• The inforniation recovered from the mitigative excavations at 5KP139 is <br />a significant addition to our knaaledge of the pr2histtuy of the area, <br />particularly for the Early and Middle Archaic time periods. It is, of <br />course, only a small piece in a big puzzle. Filling in at least a few <br />of the minainirx~ pieces is a monumental job which will take many years <br />to oanplete but which is eminently necessary. As energy deve]agrent <br />increases in this part of the state additional opportunities to expand <br />our knaaledge of the local and regional prehistory will ensue. The <br />ability of archaeologists to exploit these opportunities, however, <br />will be contingent upon an equally beneficial ability to cooperate <br />with the private energy development ca~arLies who must, in many cases, <br />"foot the bill." <br />L J <br />• <br />59 <br />
