-18- <br />1 • to the many structures and roads associated with the Yampa Mining <br />Company's operation, riere observed but not recorded in detail. <br />Each of the recorded localities will be described below. <br />SRT171 (Figures 3 - 4) <br />This locality consists of a small dump or sheep camp located in the <br />northwestern portion of the project area. No features, such as a hearth, <br />corral or wood chopping area were found in the vicinity, indicating that <br />this locality is a dump. The artifacts contained within this dump <br />include a large number of steam pressure release cans, probably evaporated <br />i <br />milk .cans, pieces of shoes,"a milk can, clear glass from a jar, a grey <br />metal enameled cup, cloth and leather pieces and a Flashlight canister. <br />There is no potential for buried cultural deposits here. <br />~~ SRT172 (Figures 3 and.5) <br />This locality consists of a small lithic scatter which contains <br />at least three flakes, two of which are utilized. Two of the flakes <br />were found in the tracks of a two-track road and one was found to the <br />east of this road. Ground visibility outside of the road tracks <br />was minimal and it is likely that additional cultural materials were <br />not observed. The road tracks indicate that at least 10 cm of soil <br />is present. It is likely that subsurface cultural materials are present <br />in areas adjacent to the road. Both of the utilized flakes had bifacial <br />utilization patterns, indicating that they were used as cutting tools. <br />~. <br />Each of the localities described above will be evaluated in terms <br />of its potential to yield scientific infox~ation important to the <br />~~ study of the history or-prehistory of the project area and the region. <br />They. will also be evaluated in terms of their eligibility to the <br />
