Cultural Resource Re-Visitation Form <br /> <br />Resource Number: 5MF.4008 Temporary Resource Number: <br /> <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />impacted any of the recorded features nor does it appear to have impacted the prehistoric and historic artifact scatters. <br />Neither of the prehistoric artifacts were located during the revisit. Failure to relocate the items is likely due to the tall, <br />dense ground cover at the site during the revisit. New plastic signs with “Walk In Only” written in black Sharpie marker <br />were located at the entrance to the homestead and may indicate that the area is visited by recreationalists on a semi- <br />regular basis. In the south-central end of the site are several aspen tree carvings. The carvings say “2009”, “9 Sep 11”, <br />“Hugo”, “Hector”, “Freddy”, “hermanos”, “Peru”, and “USA”. The carvings are likely from modern era camping during <br />hunting season and not evidence of historic sheep herder activities. <br /> <br />In 2019, Tetra Tech revisited the site as part of the second round of assessments. Features 1, 2, and 3 appeared to be <br />in the same condition as during the 2015 revisit; however, the condition of Feature 4 had changed. Feature 4 had <br />collapsed, likely from natural degradation of the building. Like 2015, Feature 5 could not be relocated in 2019. The <br />condition of the aspen carvings remained the same. The stock pond, berm, and pit noted during the 2015 revisit could <br />not be relocated because of the tall, dense vegetation covering the site. The prehistoric and historic artifact scatters <br />were not relocated due to the dense vegetation. The site has been closed to all recreation except for permitted hunting <br />since sometime after the 2015 revisit. The site had not been impacted by mining activities. <br /> <br />In 2023, Tetra Tech revisited the site as part of the third round of assessments. The site was found to be in the same <br />condition as documented in 2019. The spring run-off was causing flooding through the middle of the site. At the time of <br />the visit, the flooding was not impacting any of the site features; therefore, was not causing a significant impact to the <br />site. The site has not been impacted by mining activities. Tetra Tech recommends that mining activities continue to <br />avoid the site until further assessment is completed to fully evaluated the site’s NRHP eligibility. <br />18.
