u <br />the relative abundance of exposed hearths similar to those found on 5RB 1042 in <br />the region suggest that the site is not eligible to the National Register of <br />Historic Places. Judging from the nature of the oxidized sandstone <br />concentrations, it seems likely that the site has deflated considerably, <br />probably destroying the integrity of the firehearths. <br />Site 5RB 1044 represents an open, prehistoric campsite, located on slickrock <br />exposed among sagebrush-covered ridges. Observed on the site were two manos, <br />one flake, and firehearths. Two firehearths can definitely be identified, and <br />two others may be present. The hearth areas consist of oxidized sandstone <br />cobbles. This site is not considered eligible to the National Register of <br />Historic Places. The presence of exposed sandstone slickrock on the site <br />strongly suggests that cultural deposits are aurficial. F4irthermore, the <br />paucity of artifacts and lack of diagnostic artifacts on the site implies that <br />little can be determined of the site's cultural affiliation or the technology <br />and subsistence systems of its inhabitants. <br />This site consists of a possible hearth and a small, sparse scatter of chipped <br />stone artifacts, located atop a ridge. The possible hearth area is defined by a <br />concentration of oxidized sandstone cobbles. Nine flakes were discovered on the <br />site. Site 5RB 1047 is not considered eligible for nomination to the National <br />Register of Historic Places. The limited horizontal extent of the site, the few <br />numbers of artifacts found on the site, and the absence of diagnostic artifacts <br />U suggest that the site is not unlike many other sites in the region, and is <br />unlikely to yield nex, significant archaeological data. <br />Site 5RB 1048 may possibly represent past human activity. Present on the site <br />is an area of oxidized sandstone, in an area 45 cm x 25 cm, located beneath a <br />small sandstoneockshelter. No artifacts were discovered. The lack of cultural <br />material on this site suggests that it is ineligible for nomination to the <br />National Register of Historic Places, as it appears unlikely that the cultural <br />affiliation or function of the site can be determined. <br />This site represents recent, Euro-American activity. The site consists of a <br />shallow sandstone overhang, under which was found historic artifacts post-dating <br />the Second World War. A section of the back wall of the overhang has been <br />oxidized, possibly indicating the presence of a firehearth within the shelter. <br />Site 5RB 1050 is not considered eligible to the National Register of Historic <br />Places. The recent age of the artifacts and indications that the site was <br />utilized only for a brief period of time (probably for recreational purposes) <br />render this site unimportant. <br />Site 5RB 1051 is located <br />burned area measuring 60 <br />is ocidized.
