Doc Date:12/11/2001 Very few artifacts were noted at the site. Those which were found consisted mainly of household items and cans, buckets and other materials which would be expected at an agricultural venture. Plo temporally diagnostic items were found but the general assemblage was consistent with material dating from the 1920s on. Site Evaluations Evaluations of site significance are generally based upon criteria used to determine whether a site is eliyible for nomination to the PJational Register of Historic Places. The criteria used to determine eliyibility are those established in the U.S. Government Code of federal keyulations (36 CFR 60), wPrich read as follows: PJational Register criteria for evaluation. The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology, and culture is preseent in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects of Staie and lcoal importance that possess integrity of location, desiyn, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and (a) that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or {b) that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or (c) that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a signif- icant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or (d) that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. In order to adequately assess sites by the above criteria, the appropriate Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation Resource Protection Planning Process (kP-3) documents need to be consulted. According to Buckles and Buckles (1984:53 and 54), both sites fit into the cateyory of World War I to Depression age agriculture for• which there is no apparent data gap in recorded sites for the state. More reyion- ally, however, rancYiing sites in the Flateau region are generally con- sidered to be inadequately represented in the data base and "represent- ative sites, structures and objects which exhibit enouch integrity to allow a determination of date and function should be considered important for research and interpretive purposes" (Husband 1984:74). While site 5hiF2427 and the historic component of 5P1F950 would outwardly appear to be significant based on this statement, they have each suffered disturbance which has severely compromised their inteyrity, 5hiF950 from subsequent use of the site area including road construction
