Notes:  Bureau of Land Management Cultural Resource Series No. 11.  “The Seep Ridge Study Tract is situated in an area of intensive oil and gas exploration activities.  Some zones of the tract are characterized by an extremely low density of cultural resources.  A major purpose of this inventory was to obtain an estimate of the nature and distribution of archaeological sites, allowing for the identification of such zones where cultural resource inspection on a project-by-project basis might not be necessary.  To this end BLM cultural resource specialists selected 274 40-acres survey units, using an unstratified systematic random sampling scheme.  These units were located and inspected by our field crews.”  (From the Preface)  40 sites and 106 isolated finds were recorded in the sample units, ranging from Paleo-Indian to historic.  The study area is just to the west and south of Dinosaur, CO, bordering the Utah/Colorado state line.
