'Areas around isolated finds were intensively surveyed for <br />about 30 meters surroundinP the find. <br />The northernmost edge of the survey area includes an extremely steep <br />shale slope which was not surveyed in transects. Accessible ridges <br />on the slope were surveyed wherever possible. <br />All archeolo,vical materials recorded during this survey were collected, <br />and forwarded to the Department of Antl,ronolocy, Mesa Co11eFe, for <br />permanent curation. <br />Survey results <br />Gibbs & Hill's cultural resources inventory for Storm Y.inc Mines <br />resulted in the location of seven isolated finds, two prehistoric <br />• sites, and two historic structures ~ 5GF 1192-1201, 1203). The <br />isolated finds consisted mainly of secondary flakes, several of which <br />may have been utilized. The predominant material from which these <br />flakes were manufactured xas chert, although a quartzite and shale <br />flake were also included. <br />Two chronologically indeterminate lithic scatters were identified. <br />Artifacts collected from these sites were similar, and included cores, <br />end scrapers, handstones, and flakes. The predominant material of <br />manufacture was a quartzitic sandstone. <br />Two historic structures were identified and recorded within the <br />survey area. They were identified as a loQ cabin, presumably for <br />human habitation, and an associated storarre shed. After beinP <br />• <br />
