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.
This document, Part 3 of Volume V, reports on the excavations at Hamblin (42WS1585) and Wellington (42JB388), two Mormon communities from slightly different time periods that provide complimentary information about the settlement of rural Utah. The excavation reports are followed by a synthesis of historical archaeological data, taking the data collected at Hamblin and Wellington and applying them in a more general way that enables more detailed assessments to be made regarding social and economic implications of Mormon settlement in Utah.
