Cultural Resource Site Assessments for Collom Expansion Project Colowyo <br />5MF.4006 — Rock Cairn, Needs Data <br />Site 5MF.4006 was originally recorded in 1995 by Metcalf Archaeological Consultants for the <br />Colowyo Coal Company Lease and Exploration Areas: Class III Cultural Resource Inventory. The <br />site consists of a rock cairn constructed with large sandstone rocks. It measures 250 cm long by <br />175 cm wide by 80 cm tall. The stones are heavily coated in green and orange lichen. In 2001, <br />the site was revisited by the BLM Little Snake Field Office and again in 2005 by TRC as part of <br />the Colowyo Collom Mine expansion project. No new observations were recorded during either <br />visitation. <br />In 2015 Tetra Tech revisited the site as part of the current undertaking (Figure 11). The site still <br />consists of a collapsed rock cairn composed of lichen covered sandstone rocks. The cairn is <br />unchanged with no significant changes or impacts observed since the 2005 recording. <br />NRHP Status and Condition Assessment <br />In 1995 site 5MF.4006 was recommended as needing more data by Metcalf Archaeological <br />Consultants. BLM Little Snake Field Office concurred in 2001 and TRC concurred in 2005. <br />Additional information about the site can be most likely obtained through Native American <br />consultation. Tetra Tech also concurs and no changes or impacts were noted during the 2015 <br />revisit. <br />Figure 11. Site 5MF.4006 Overview. Facing Northwest. Taken by J.
