This study, paid for by the Lillooet Forest District, looked at land use and archaeological potential within and near to the Murray, Twaal, and Skoonka Creek Watersheds, located between the Fraser and Thompson Rivers above Lytton. Following these studies, and as a result of proposed forestry developments, archaeological impact assessments began to occur in ecological zones which had previously received little or no survey coverage. Over the past three years, Millennia Research has conducted impact assessments of 48 proposed cutblocks and close to 25 km of associated proposed road, totaling about 1200 hectares of surveyed land. This has resulted in the recording of 28 sites, or about one site per 42 hectares. While the majority of the sites (46%) consist only of trees stripped for cambium (CMTs), a large percentage of the sites include CMTs in association with other features such as lithic scatters, cultural depressions and trails. The full results of this work will be synthesized in a discussion that emphasizes the often-misrepresented CMT as an integral part of the past and present cultural landscape.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
