Class III: Intensive Cultural Resources Inventory of up to 212 Acres, Cavalier Space Force Station Pembina County, North Dakota

Summary

Stell Environmental Enterprises, Inc. (Stell) performed a Class III: Cultural Resources Inventory

of 196.89 acres (ac) managed by Cavalier Space Force Station (SFS) under subcontract agreement

1F-60506 with Argonne National Laboratories (Argonne). Argonne is the prime contractor under

contract project EGYNA53201118. Prior to field work, Stell personnel visited the State Historical

Society of North Dakota and performed a Class I: Literature Search of the Cavalier SFS and 1-

mile buffer of the surrounding area. The literature search identified a total of eight cultural

resources surveys conducted within the 1-mile buffer in and around the Cavalier SFS. These

surveys resulted in the identification of five cultural resources consisting of one prehistoric lithic

scatter, one historical homestead, and three historic architectural sites. The single cultural resource

located within the installation boundary is the Cavalier SFS Perimeter Acquisition Radar (Site).

All relevant information was incorporated into a research design that provided guidance for

performing the cultural resources inventory under this contract. A pedestrian surface survey of the

project area did not identify any cultural resources. Due to the project area being larger than 40

ac, Stell’s field efforts and results are presented in this full report.
