-6- <br /> <br />Shovel teists measured 40-45 cm across and were taken down, by <br />approximate 10 centimeter levels, through soil deposits <br />considere~ likely to contain cultural evidence (Appendix C). All <br />soil contents were screened through quarter-inch hardware cloth. <br /> <br />~.0 CONCLUSION <br /> <br />The negative results of this survey indicate that the proposed <br />undertaking can go ahead without any danger of impact to <br />cultural resources. Although a number of bison bones have been <br />found in peat deposizs within Anoka County -- bones which, in <br />some caseS, were close enough to Native American artifacts to <br />sugges% ~ssociation, the peat deposits in question were <br />generally areas more suited to the accidental or deliberate <br />trapping/miring of such animals: swampy water holes or creek <br />crossings. The shallow, minimal swamp areas to be traversed by <br />this alignment do not seem to fit either description. <br /> <br />! <br /> <br />! <br />] <br /> <br />/7 <br /> <br /> <br />
