Site number 5MF949: <br /> <br />C/S-1/2/SE/NE/SW of Sec. 6-T5N-R90W. (UTM: 13,285000 mE, 4476780 mN). A rock shelter with <br />associated red ocher figurine and abraded areas was recorded. Archeological Services recommended that <br />this site be tested to determine National Register eligibility, and that if construction activity comes within 50 <br />feet of the site, the site should be fenced. Further investigation of this site indicates it is the same site <br />surveyed by Breternitz in 1972 and recorded as 5MF290 (refer to part IX of Appendix K). <br /> <br />Additional surveys were conducted within and outside of the Trapper Mine amended permit boundary in <br />2013 and 2014. Within the area of the Trapper Mine permit boundary no additional archaeological sites <br />were determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. A complete listing of the <br />findings of the 2013 and 2014 surveys and additional data gathering in 2015 is contained in Appendix K, <br />Parts XIII thru XVII. <br /> <br />Site numbers 5MF9891, 5MF9892 and 5MF9894: <br /> <br />SW of Sec. 29-T6N-R91W. These sites consist of a complex of prehistoric camps. Metcalf Archaeological <br />Consultants, Inc. recommended the sites as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, <br />Site 5MF9891—Included on this site are one hearth, one fire-cracked rock concentration, one chert core, a <br />tested quartz pebble, and five pieces of debitage consisting of primary and tertiary flakes and a piece of <br />quartzite shatter. Site 5MF9892—Included on this site are four chipped and ground stone tools, 15 to 20 <br />scattered pieces of cracked quartzite and reddened sandstone that appear to be fire-altered, and seven <br />pieces of debitage consisting of two chert primary flakes, two chert secondary flakes, one petrified wood <br />and one white chert tertiary flake, and a piece of shatter. Site 5MF9893—Included on this site are two tested <br />cobbles, one pink chert primary flake, one white and brown chert secondary flake, and one clear/white chert <br />micro-tertiary flake. Reddened sandstone and angularly cracked quartzite cobbles, at least some of which <br />probably represents fire-affected rock (FCR), are lightly distributed across the site. Specifically, backdirt <br />piles from two deep rodent burrows each have one piece of quartzite FCR associated, with a few pieces of <br />red sandstone surrounding burrows as well. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2-590a
