A Cultural Resource Inventory of High- and Medium Site Sensitivity Areas, Fort Carson Military Reservation: El Paso, Fremont, and Pueblo Counties, Colorado, 1998
Abstract
A cultural resources inventory of the Fort Carson Military Reservation was undertaken by Fort Lewis College, Durango, Colorado, in the summer and fall of 1998. The areas inventoried include portions of three counties: El Paso, Fremont, and Pueblo. Four thousand and thirty-six acres of high-site sensitivity areas and 3,200 acres of medium-site sensitivity areas were inventoried, totaling 7,236 acres. A total of 89 cultural resources were recorded, and 2 previously recorded sites were revisited and reevaluated, bringing the total number of sites to 91. Additionally, 86 isolated finds were recorded. The distribution of recorded sites is as follows: 74 (81%) prehistoric sites, 15 (17%) historic sites, and 2 (2%) multicomponent historic and prehistoric sites. Sixty-eight (75%) of the sites are recommended as not eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, while the remaining twenty-three (25%) sites are recommended as eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Future management of those sites evaluated as significant include the following standard recommendations: avoid, protect (i.e., fence), test excavate, or data recovery.
