Analysis of the available background information, including the Suquamish TribesGIS Archaeological Sensitivity Model for Kitsap County (Suquamish Tribe and Peterson GIS 2010) indicates that theStudy Area is sensitive for buried archaeological resources.The geology and geomorphology of coastal Puget Sound and surrounding uplands are conducive to thepreservation of cultural resources (i.e., comprised primarily of stable or depositional landforms). Severaldocumented precontact and historical archaeological sites are located within the Study Area or in the vicinity.Although only one site has been evaluated for NRHP eligibility, it is highly probable that eligible sites will beidentified when project specific inventories and evaluations are conducted. The paucity of documented culturalresources within the Study Area is a function of lack of previous inventory efforts rather than lack of culturalresources.Draft | June 2013 3-134
