Sierra Ancha Fire Analysis Study
• Prepared regional overview: – To assess potential for presence of fire sensitiveheritage resources;
– Analyzed records from a total of 798 archaeologicalsites and 342 archaeological survey and excavationprojects encompassing an area of almost 194,000acres;
– Gathered information on hundreds of unrecordedhistorical period site locations.
• Conducted pedestrian surveys:
– To determine presence of fire sensitive resources intargeted areas suggested by overview.
• Conducted GIS-study
– To depict confirmed locations of fire sensitiveresources and possible locations of other resources

Conclusions• Collect existing available data to develop detailed
and comprehensive overviews of heritageresources;
• Identify those that are especially sensitive to fire
damage;• Develop measures to protect fire sensitive
resources;
• Provide locational maps of heritage resources tofire-fighting personnel when incidents occur;
• Cross-train fire-fighters to recognize and avoid
archaeological sites;• When damage cannot be avoided, develop
measures for evaluation and stabilization;
• Also, deal with archaeological sites that might beimpacted by stabilization or rehabilitation efforts
