COLORADO CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY
Archaeological Isolated Find/Feature Form OAHP 1408
Rev. 11/10
This form is not to be used for phenomena that are eligible for the National Register or are part of the built
environment. To be only used for phenomena that meet the requirements of the recorder’s definition as provided below.
A map at 1:24,000 scale with IF clearly plotted must be attached.

1. Site Number: 5MF.11087 2. Temporary Resource Number: 2023-05 3. County: Moffat
4. Recorder’s Definition of Isolated Find: An isolate refers to one or more culturally modified objects not found in the context of
a site. Note that this definition makes no reference to an absolute quantifiable standard for the site/isolate distinction. For example:
a) A discrete concentration of flakes from the same material, regardless of the number of artifacts present, likely represents a single,
random event and is properly designated as an isolate, or b) Similarly, a ceramic pot bust is to be recorded as an isolate, regardless
of the number of sherds that remain.
