Cultural Resource Re -Visitation Form <br />Resource Number: 5MF.1652 Temporary Resource Number: <br />to be off. <br />13. Threats to Resource: ❑ Water Erosion ❑ Wind Erosion ❑ Grazing ❑ Neglect ❑Vandalism <br />❑ Recreation ® Construction ❑ Other (specify): <br />14. Existing Protection: ❑ None ❑ Marked ❑ Fenced ❑ Patrolled ❑ Access controlled <br />® Other (specify): Avoidance measures by Colowyo <br />Comments: Colowyo is avoiding the site. OAHP is requiring a professional archaeologist conduct regular <br />revisits to assess the effectiveness of avoidness measures. <br />15. Recorder's Management Recommendations: <br />The site should continue to be avoided pending additional subsurface testing to determine whether or not unobserved <br />subsurface cultural material is indeed present at the site. <br />16. Known Collections, Reports, or Interviews: <br />Most Recent Report: <br />A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory For Colowyo Coal Company's Collom Mine Project, Moffat and Rio Blanco <br />Counties, Colorado prepared by TRC Mariah Associates in 2006. <br />17. Site Description/Update: <br />Site 5MF.1652 was originally recorded in 1983 by Mariah Associates for the Danforth Hills Utah International project. <br />The site was recorded as a prehistoric camp and broad lithic scatter. It was relocated in 2005 by TRC and found to be <br />in the same condition as reported in 1983 despite noted impacts from the construction of State Highway 51, an <br />overhead power line, and collection of artifacts. Two features were observed, a light charcoal stain with heat altered <br />rock (HAR) and a second charcoal stain with no HAR. The artifact assemblage consisted of one side -notched projectile <br />point of tan oolitic chert, two chert and two quartzite bifaces, two scrapers, two utilized flakes, and over 100+ white <br />chert lithic flakes. <br />In 2015, Tetra Tech revisited the site as part of the current undertaking. The site was determined to be in a similar <br />condition as reported in 1983 and 2005. Observed artifacts during revisit included approximately 30 lithic flakes of white <br />chert with some red chert and opaque quartzite. Features 1 and 2 were both relocated and appear to be in the same <br />condition as when they were last recorded. Tetra Tech did record a new site boundary as the available polygon was <br />incorrect compared to field observations. The new boundary measures 185 m by 94 m. <br />18.
