1 <br />Can the consumptive patterns of the local ranches be correlated to the spread of the <br />automobile and the general realignment of trade patterns to larger and lazger <br />marketplaces because of the speed that the automobile gave rural residents, or the spread <br />of mass consumptive habits advertised in the mass media (printed and broadcast) that <br />' grew pervasive in American society during the period? <br />Can changes in the roles and functions of women and children, currently under- <br />' represented in the written record, be clazi£ed from archaeological remains? If they can, <br />can comparisons over time be made to document and explain the changes in those roles? <br />' Registration Requirements: Resources associated with this context should meet the requirements <br />outlined below to be considered as eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic <br />Places. Properties associated with this context may be evaluated under Criteria a, c, and/or d. <br />' The first registration requirement is that the property had to have operated in a ranching related <br />function for the majority of the time between 1881 and 1944. The second requirement is that <br />the physical chazacteristics of a ranch must be present, specifically that the buildings be <br />' vernaculaz in style. The individual buildings and structures must represent their condition, <br />configuration and fabric as they did when built to allow interpretation of locally practiced <br />construction techniques. Additions or modifications must not impair the quality of the historic <br />' fabric (design, materials, and workmanship) of the individual buildings, contributing buildings <br />within a district or the overaA district. For the buildings to be wnsidered significant under <br />Criterion c their materials and methods of construction must be consistent with the descriptions <br />given above. <br />For a district to be eligible the key components of a farm or ranch must be present. Specifically <br />' there must be a main house, there must be associated animal care structures such as a barn or <br />corrals, or agricultural structures such as grain bins or machine sheds reflective of the type of <br />agriculture practiced at the fazm or ranch. Finally, the district and/or contributing resources <br />' must be at least fifty years old and for those structures and buildings not dating to the period of <br />significance, they must help interpret the evolutionary changes in methods or techniques in <br />' ranching that took place at the ranch. No National Register exceptions apply to this property <br />type. The individual buildings and the district must be in their original location or their location <br />during the period of significance and the setting must be present to convey their historic feeling. <br />If the individual buildings have lost their ability to convey either their design, materials, <br />workmanship, or character/function within the district through natural deterioration or the <br />activities of man during or after the period of significance, then those specific buildings shall <br />t be considered non-contributing. Resources will be considered significant under Criterion d if <br />they can offer important information pertinent to one of the research topics discussed above and <br />maintain their azchaeological integrity vis ii vis their focus as defined in National <br />' Register Bulletin 36. <br />14 <br /> <br />
