Summary

This report presents the results of mapping and condition assessment updates of cultural resources at site XBP-00002, with a specific request for evaluation of two standing buildings, at the Oliktok Point Long Range Radar Site (LRRS), Alaska, on behalf of the United States Air Force, 611th Civil Engineer Squadron (USAF 611 CES). XBP-00002 consists of two standing frame buildings (cabins), and a cemetery with up to 13 burials marked with crosses or wooden sticks. As part of this project, new Alaska Heritage Resource Survey (AHRS) site numbers were obtained for each of the cabin buildings (now XBP-00126 and XBP-00127). The site has been impacted by erosion and construction of the 1950s-era Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line Station POW-2, and the current LRRS station. The current project provides a condition assessment update, and a detailed topographic and feature map of the site. Evaluation of Eligibility (EOE) forms for the standing buildings are also provided.
