Cultural Resource Site Assessments for Collom Expansion Project Colowyo <br />Figure 23. Site 5MF.6128 Overview. Facing West. Taken by J. Dugmore 9/11/2015 <br />5MF.6130 — Prehistoric Lithic Scatter, Needs Data <br />Site 5MF.6130 was originally recorded in 2005 by TRC as part of the Colowyo Collom Mine <br />expansion project. The recordation reports the site as an anchored dune with associated surface <br />artifact scatter. The scatter includes two biface fragments of white opaque chert, one flake tool of <br />semi translucent chert, and 44 white chert and quartzite flakes. In 2015 Tetra Tech revisited the <br />site as part of the current undertaking (Figure 24). Some of the 2005 artifacts were observed <br />during revisit, but heavy vegetation growth obscured much of the ground surface. Observed <br />impacts were deflation of the dune along western side. The deflation is minor with no artifact <br />displacement noted. The overall site is unchanged since 2005. <br />NRHP Status and Condition Assessment <br />In 2005 TRC recommended that site 5MF.6130 needed additional data to determine its potential <br />for inclusion on the NRHP. Tetra Tech concurs with this recommendation. Observed impacts <br />during the revisit include minor deflation of the dune along the western side of the site. However, <br />despite the impacts, the anchored dune is still intact and retains a potential for subsurface cultural <br />component(s). The overall condition is unchanged since 2005. <br />Tetra Tech July 25, 2C 15 26 <br />For Official Use Only: Disclosure of Site Locations Prohibited !43 CFR, 7 18) <br />
