Excavation destroys burial markers by Marsha Shewczyk Excavation was suspended on a rock crushing operation near the Deschutes River after several pos sible burial markers were disturbed. Warm Springs Crushing and Construction Company, owned by Ted and Mickey Brunoe, removed rock in a location containing a rock cairn. The contractor had been directed to stay away from that area. Both Ted Brunoe and his grader operator assured Tribal Council andHeritagecommitteeandothers that they were aware of the location of rock cairns. They also agreed to excavate in a location not visible from the Deschutes River. The permit application was ap proved for a one-time entry to removed 10,000 cubic yards of rock needed to fulfill a contract the rock crushing company made with the State Highway Department. The tribe was to receive 50 for every cubic yard of material removed. An investigation the day excava tion was scheduled to begin revealed a trench approximately 10 feet deep and 15 feet wide passing through the area where the uppermost rock cairn features had been located. One cairn was found still intact on the edge of the cut. The trenching opertion passed within 30 feet of the remaining group of rock cairns. According to tribal archaeologist Dan Mattson, Brunoe related he had not been satisfied with the size and condition of the gravel in the lower slope previously agreed upon and he intended to remove gravel from the steepest and uppermost portions of the tallus slide. The removed rock would also be in view of the Deschutes River. Mattson also said that the exca vation permit was quickly sent through an environmental assess ment and other channels because Brunoe needed to meet a contract deadline.
