National Park Service

Description

Bandelier National Monument seeks to cooperatively inventory remaining areas of backcountry lands that are likely to contain cultural resources. Almost 98% of all park lands have been inventoried for cultural resources. Six hundred and fifteen (615) acres remain to be inventoried. An estimated 75-90 archaeological sites are located within the remaining survey units. The objective of the inventory is to locate cultural resources within the project areas using systematic pedestrian survey methods and to document resources according to established park guidelines. The methods employed during the inventory will closely match those of the Bandelier Archaeological Survey (⿿BAS⿝; Powers and Orcutt 1999) in so far as to create comparable data, with some important exceptions, as noted below. The inventory will be accomplished using the established safety plan, which will include job hazard analyses.
