Comprehensive review identifies survey priorities for archaeological sites, implying improved land management.
This report, presents a comprehensive review of the predictive model and survey recommendations for archaeological sites within Eielson Air Force Base and its managed and leased areas in Fairbanks North Star Borough, Alaska. It evaluates previous cultural resource investigations, particularly the 1996 Archaeological Survey Report, and incorporates recent research findings to prioritize survey areas. Key recommendations include re-surveying the Main Base, conducting new surveys at Birch Lake Recreation Area and Chena River Annex, and developing predictive models for Blair Lake Air Force Range. The study aims to enhance understanding of the cultural landscape, streamline compliance with preservation guidelines, and support informed decision-making for future land use and development projects.
