-9 - <br />~• OSAC isolated artifact form was completed and a sketch map was drawn <br />for each of the localities found. Notes were taken by each of the <br />crew members. Artifacts diagnostic of site age or function and a <br />sample of lithic macerial types were collected for later analysis. <br />Photos were taken of each locality. <br />v-- <br />- Laboratory Methods <br />Subsequent to the field inventory, permanent site numbers were <br />obtained from OSAC and were assigned to the localities recorded. The <br />location of each of these is shown in Figure 2. The completed forms <br />are shown in Appendix A. <br />All artifacts were washed, labelled and catalogued using the <br />OSAC site number. Copies of the artifact catalogue forms are shown <br />C} in Appendix B. ` <br />All aboriginal artifacts were examined with a lOX hand lense to <br />observe the microscarring or other edge damage indicating use on the <br />flake. The stage of manufacture represented by the flakes was also <br />noted. <br />All field notes and negatives are on permanent file at Pioneer <br />Archaeological Consultants. The artifacts, copies of the field notes <br />and the report will be deposited at the Pioneers' Museum, 215 South <br />Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, Colorado. <br />KNOWN CULTURAL BACKGROUND <br />Although data pertinent to the prehistory of the Williams Fork <br />• Mountains are relatively scarce, the prehistoric sequence may parallel <br />that of the northwestern Plains .and the eastern Great Basin.
