Old growth Pinyon-juniper woodlands and historic properties in Colorado

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Recent Archaeological Work by Chronicle Heritage Staff" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Bureau of Land Management contracted Chronicle Heritage to help plan vegetation treatments on a landscape level by creating and utilizing a GIS model that informs planners and management the locations of old growth trees and associated historic properties. This model incorporated existing data on historic landscape modifications, current vegetation treatments, known fire history, and data publicly available on databases to identify Pinyon-juniper woodlands; vegetation communities known to contain significant resources for the Ute people. Archaeologists conducted a Class III cultural inventory of 1,000 acres of lands managed by Upper Colorado River District to test the validity of the model. This poster presents the results of Chronicle Heritage’s survey.
