A scatter of 63 flakes, a mano, a corner -notched projectile point, and a fragment <br />of burnt bone were observed on the site's surface. The lithic debitage consists primarily <br />(42 specimens) of interior chert and chalcedony flakes of light gray, gray, yellowish - <br />brown and gray, white, and white with red inclusions. An additional 16 secondary and <br />five primary chert and porcellanite flakes were noted. <br />The only chipped stone tool noted on the surface is a corner -notched projectile <br />point base of gray chert. The specimen measures 1.8+ x 1.4 x 0.3cm and compares with <br />the Uncompahgre Complex Type 22 points from the Roubideau Phase from approxi- <br />mately 3000-500 BC, (Buckles 1971) — basically a temporally non-diagnostic type. A <br />single mano was also noted at the eastern edge of the site, just to the west of the fence. <br />It is unifacially pecked and ground and measures 12.3 x 9.0 x 5.7cm and is made of <br />quartzitic sandstone. A small fragment of burnt bone was also found on the site. <br />As a result of the field evaluation of need data, it was determined by the BLM Little <br />Snake Field Office that test excavation would be required to further determine the nature and <br />extent of the sub -surface cultural deposits for the purpose of evaluating the National Register <br />eligibility of those resources. <br />7.0 TEST EXCAVATION PROCEDURES <br />In accordance with the Proposed Scope of Work for Testing and Evaluation of Seven <br />Cultural Resource Sites submitted to Trapper and the BLM in July of 2015, the tests to be <br />conducted at 5MF7762 were to consist of: <br />1) A series of shovel and auger tests to determine the horizontal and vertical extent and <br />nature of sub -surface deposits and to search for thermal features; and, <br />2) The excavation of grid -oriented test pits and 25cm-wide test trenches as warranted <br />based on the results of the shovel and auger tests. <br />Accordingly, an archaeological crew from GRI conducted test excavations at the site <br />between August and October of 2015. A Datum point was established just to the north of the <br />sandstone outcrop that defines the south end of the site and a grid system was constructed on <br />True north -south and east -west lines. Based on this system a series of 33 hand auger tests were <br />established spaced 5m apart and covering the entire site area as defined by the visible surface <br />artifacts and the limits of the prominence on which the resource is situated. <br />9 <br />
