ABSTRACT <br />At the request of Bureau of Land Management Little Snake Field Office (BLM-LSFO), <br />Grand River Institute (GRI) was contracted by Trapper Mining, Inc. to conduct evaluative <br />testing for six sites (5MF319, 5MF7691, 5MF7692, 5MF7727, 5MF7794 and 5MF7795). The <br />sites were first documented during GRI's Class III cultural resources inventories of the area <br />covered by Permit Revision #8 for Trapper Mining, Inc. in 2013 and 2014 (Conner et al.). Test <br />excavations at the sites were conducted intermittently between August and October of 2015. <br />The evaluative testing for these sites was part of the process to make final <br />determinations of eligibility. Excavations involved a broad sampling of the site areas and <br />resulted in an assessment that subsurface cultural deposits were either non-existent, sparse, or <br />deflated and mixed. Neither diagnostic artifacts nor radiocarbon data were obtained during the <br />site testing of the six sites, and it is apparent that no additional significant information is <br />present. Accordingly, all six of the sites are field reevaluated as not eligible for listing on the <br />National Register of Historic Places. No further work is recommended for these sites. <br />ii <br />
