“Site Monitoring, Affirmative Cultural Resource Management for Cache Creek Public Lands, Lake County, California”

Marlene L. Greenway

Abstract


Prehistoric and historic resource inventory was carried out within the Cache Creek drainage as part of a Cultural Resources Program initiated by the Ukiah District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). From late 1986 through June of 1987, volunteers and BLM staff recorded, re-recorded, or confirmed 34 Native American sites, 5 with historic materials. Seven historic sites were also identified. A long-term program for managing these cultural resources has been implemented. The baseline inventory is being used to track resources through site and photo-monitoring. The monitoring program consists of 1) describing site conditions; 2) placing photo-points and erosion stakes for long-term site assessment; 3) establishing a management use (MU) classification for each site; and 4) disseminating the information.
