<br /> resources; and (4) present recommendations for their management.
<br /> Basic regional archaeological research objectives and goals
<br /> pertaining to investigation of cultural resources in seven
<br /> central valley, foothill, and Sierra Nevada counties have been
<br /> summarized by Napton (1981) in an overview of the archaeology of
<br /> seven California counties. The basic research goals, problem
<br /> domains and theoretical orientations for further research in the '
<br /> f adjacent regions have also been discussed by Moratto (1984) , who
<br /> .., identified geographical, cultural and temporal aspects requiring
<br /> intensive research. Existing knowledge pertaining to the
<br /> proposed project region, research goals, problem domains,
<br /> j; proposed test hypotheses, and test implications of proposed
<br /> hypotheses are also considered by Napton (1988) .
<br /> Ft M Problem domains to be addressed in the course of
<br /> archaeological research in central California, not necessarily in
<br /> order of priority, include but are not limited to (1) economy and
<br /> adaptation, (2) social organization, (3) extraregional
<br /> relationships, (4) paleodemography, (5) paleoenvironment, (6)
<br /> cultural chronology, (7) settlement patterns, and (8) cultural
<br /> process (Kowta 1975; Moratto'. 1981; Napton 1988) .
<br /> Impacts affecting cultural resources within the proposed
<br /> project APE can be manifested as direct results of the proposed
<br /> undertaking, or may be indirect--the consequence, for example, of
<br /> increased visitation from the project area to adjacent areas.
<br /> Impacts may be cumulative as well, resulting from aggregation of
<br /> and variety of direct and indirect effects.

<br /> E: Contributing Data Sources
<br /> The principal types of cultural resources that are likely to
<br /> be found on the proposed project area include archaeological
<br /> sites, features, and artifacts. These may consist of but not be
<br /> limited to isolated or associated artifacts, projectile points,
<br /> knives, scrapers, awls, hammerstones, lithic debitage, beads,
<br /> milling implements, potsherds, and baked clay objects; evidence
<br /> of structural features such as housepits, ceremonial lodges,
<br /> ' sweathouses, and bedrock milling stations; special purpose sites;
<br /> including hunting blinds, rock art locations, quarries, and
<br /> trails; and subsurface features such as inhumations, caches of
<br /> artifacts, and other buried remains.
<br /> Sites, features, and artifacts of historical interest that
<br /> might be present within the proposed project area could include
<br /> buildings, foundations, farming or mining equipment, remains of
<br /> vineyards or orchards, blacksmith and machine shops, bridges,
<br /> cabins, fences, mining features, settlements of ethnically
