The intensity ratios relative to iron were statistically analyzed r and the trace and minor element patterns established. The obsidian rL outcrops clustered into four well defined groups consisting of two localities apiece: Government Mountain/Obsidian Tank, Slate Mountain/ r Kendrick Peak, Robinson Crater/O'Leary Peak, and RS Hill/Spring Valley. r Each of the four distinct groups was treated individually to refine the separation between the similar sites. Classification function coeffi­ r cients were calculated for each locality, then these were used to identify the source of thirteen obsidian artifacts recovered from a Northern r Arizona archaeological site. r r r r r r r r l r ..r r r r I CONTENTS r t Page LIST OF TABLES .. iii r LIST OF FIGURES . v r Chapter 1.

In the San Francisco field, more than 600 vents, basaltic to rhyolitic in composition, have erupted through the Precambrian basement and a kilometer of nearly horizontal sedimentary rocks. Together with thei~ related flows and pyroclastic deposits, the mapped volcanic rocks cover approximately 2000 mi2 of the erosionally stripped surface of the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona. The field is loosely defined as an area of volcanic deposits generally younger and more varied in composition than the basaltic series typically burying the .

  • Chapter 3. Management Areas
    Chapter 3. Management Areas Introduction to Management Areas Management areas are areas that have similar management intent and a common management strategy that are more specific than forestwide guidance provided in Chapter 2. This direction does not substitute for or repeat forestwide direction, but rather provides additional direction for the applicable area. In the event that a plan decision in this section and the forestwide component in another section conflict, the more restrictive plan decision generally prevails. A project or activity-level evaluation, however, may be required to resolve the conflict; generally, however, the more restrictive plan decision prevails. Some management areas are special areas that have been designated by Congress or an office of the Executive Branch. They are managed to protect the special features or character for which they were designated and must be managed in accordance with relevant law, regulation, and policy and any area- specific management plan, such as the Verde River Comprehensive River Management Plan. Because of the complication of carrying forward direction from the previous forest plan there are two management areas that overlay the Sedona-Oak Creek Management Area (MA). The Oak Creek Canyon and House Mountain-Lowlands MAs are both subject to direction for the Sedona-Oak Creek MA and have unique direction that applies only to these overlay areas. In addition, there are several guidelines in the Sedona-Oak Creek MA to which the House Mountain-Lowlands MA is an exception. Scenery desired conditions (desired landscape character) for wilderness and wild and scenic rivers is described in the MA direction. For other management areas, see the Landscape Character Zones for this direction.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.
