A Stratified Random Sample of the Cultural Resources in the Canyonlands Section of the Moab District of the Bureau of Land Management in Eastern Utah
The one percent stratified random sample of 1,003,000 acres comprising BLM's Canyonlands planning area yielded 225 prehistoric sites. Stratified by vegetation, this small percentage inventory served to test the sampling design and allow for future refinements. Analysis of recovered data by site function, cultural affiliation, topography and vegetation was completed on all four planning units. Tentative site density projections based on the sample were developed as a BLM management tool.
