The site's research potential has been exhausted. Evaluative testing of the site failed to <br />yield any definitive evidence of subsurface cultural manifestations. Artifacts appear to be <br />limited to surface exposures and the features do not possess potential to yield additional <br />information important to the prehistory of the region. <br />Evaluation and Management Recommendation <br />The site was originally field evaluated as "need data" (2014). Subsequent testing of the <br />site did not reveal any subsurface deposits and no indication of depth of cultural fill was <br />observed. Accordingly, the site is field reevaluated as not eligible for listing on the National <br />Register of Historic Places. No further work is recommended. <br />Site 5MF7795, Prehistoric Open Camp <br />Site 5MF7795, a prehistoric open camp, is located on a gentle slope above the drainage <br />of an unnamed tributary of Jeffway Gulch (Plate 12). Surrounding vegetation consists of <br />sagebrush, grasses, serviceberry, Gambel oak, and aspen. The site is underlain by Cretaceous <br />age sandstone, shale, and major coal beds of the Williams Fork formation. Soil on the site is <br />light brown clay loam with a depth of up to 60 inches. <br />Plate 12. Site 5MF7795, overview. Photo looking north-northeast. <br />34 <br />
