description: The Kern River 2003 Expansion Project consisted of the installation of a natural gas pipeline from near Opal, Wyoming to a terminus in the vicinity of Bakersfield, California. The project was an expansion of the existing 36-inch diameter pipeline through the construction of 717 miles of additional 36 and 42 inch pipeline loops, several new compressor stations, and modifications to existing compressor stations, meter stations and various other supporting facilities. Cultural resources along the planned pipeline expansion corridor were identified, assessed, and mitigated according to relevant historic preservation laws. Various inventory reports, treatment plans, and mitigation reports have been produced for the project in Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California. This document is one portion of the overall cultural resources mitigation report for the Utah portion of this project. This document is the second part of Volume IV, a volume that focuses on each time period in the region, presents summaries of excavation results, and provides the results of addressing the synthetic and comparative research questions that were posed in the treatment plan for the project. Part 2 of Volume IV addresses the excavation results and research questions regarding the Archaic period in the region. Research on the Archaic period for the Kern River 2003 Expansion project initially focused on several sites, and ultimately 16 Archaic period components were identified at 9 sites.
