Kern River 2003 Expansion Project, Utah - Volume III: Prehistoric Excavated Sites and Discoveries, Part 5

Summary

The Kern River 2003 Expansion Project consisted of the installation of a natural gas pipeline from near Opal, Wyoming to a terminus in the vicinity of Bakersfield, California. The project was an expansion of the existing 36-inch diameter pipeline through the construction of 717 miles of additional 36 and 42 inch pipeline loops, several new compressor stations, and modifications to existing compressor stations, meter stations and various other supporting facilities. Cultural resources along the planned pipeline expansion corridor were identified, assessed, and mitigated according to relevant historic preservation laws. Various inventory reports, treatment plans, and mitigation reports have been produced for the project in Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California. This document is one portion of the overall cultural resources mitigation report for the Utah portion of this project.

Volume III includes reports on all project sites subjected to archaeological data recovery as part of the Kern River 2003 Expansion Project. Included are sites where cultural features were discovered and excavated as part of the archaeological monitoring program. Volume III includes 29 chapters - each consisting of a site report - divided into 7 parts. The parts simply reflect limitations of report binding. This part, Part 5, includes descriptions of archaeological excavations at Sites 42WS1754, 42WS2174, 42WS2183, 42WS2433, 42WS2434, 42WS2435, 42WS2444, 42WS2453, 42WS2460, 42WS2473, 42WS4367, and 42WS4452.
