Cultural Resource Investigations Along the Rocky Reach Reservoir: The 1990 Test Excavations

106-page report, but lacks Chapter 2; Abstract: Cultural resources investigations were conducted at two sensitive areas and fourteen sites along the Rocky Reach Reservoir for the Chelan County Public Utility District No. 1 of Wenatchee, Washington. Because of anticipated impacts from a proposed pool raise, evaluations of significance of these areas/sites were necessary to prepare Determinations of Eligibility. Various methods used to determine the horizontal and vertical extent of the cultural deposits included identifying and mapping exposed materials, and excavation of test units and linear transects of shovel test holes. "The results of the investigation indicate the area was used sporadically over the last 4000 years. The recovered items suggest large mammals were processed for meat and hides at temporary campsites. Recommendations for future work include monitoring sites 45DO409, 45DO504, 45DO505, and 45DO507 at two-year intervals, monitor site 45CH254 at one-year intervals and implement limited data recovery, and conduct data recovery excavations at sites 45CH404, 45DO508, and 45D0511."
