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? The proiect area is <br />fairiv small in size and is partly situated in an area that is relatively wet for most of the <br />year. The portion to the east would be more likely to contain cultural material. but is <br />very exposed to the elements. There are many more desirable areas nearby that would <br />lend themselves to usage by prehistoric and historic peoples. There is a significant <br />amount of soil deposition along the drainage. However, there are many opportunities <br />to view subsurface contents and if significant cultural materials existed these would <br />have been evident. <br />References Cited <br />Tweto, Ogden <br />1979 Geologic Map of Colorado.
