0 <br />surface and the site does not appear to contain buried deposits or features. <br />The Bite surface is lightly eroded by sheet water and wind erosion. This site <br />is not considered likely to contribute further information important to the <br />prehistory of the area and is, therefore, not considered eligible for nomination <br />to the National Register of Historic Places. <br />Site 1150 is a possible prehistoric campsite consisting of a possible <br />firehearth, indicated by a circular alignment of oxidized sandstone cobbles (.70 <br />m in diameter), and a sparse scatter of lithic debitage. Included in the <br />artifactusl assemblage are 15 flakes, two cores, and a possible hammerstone. <br />The age of the site cannot be determined. The depth of cultural deposits is <br />unknown, but it seems unlikely that additional artifacts or features exist. Due <br />to the lack of diagnostic artifacts, the low artifact density, and the apparent <br />lack of buried cultural deposits, this site is not believed to be eligible for <br />inclusion on the National Register. <br />Located on a sagebrush-dominated ridge, this small (25 x 10 m) site consists of <br />a sparse scatter of lithic artifacts without discernible features. Artifacts <br />observed include a small aide-notched projectile point, one biface fragment, and <br />12 chart flakes. The projectile point has been classified as a Desert Side- <br />Notched style, dating post A. D. 1000. Based on surface indications it seems <br />unlikely that site 1152 would provide further important data and it is not <br />considered to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic <br />O Places. <br />This site consists of a single hearth of unlmown age. The hearth is a <br />concentration of sandstone cobbles which exhibit fire-reddening on the interior. <br />Some ash and wood debris is present in the hearth, and it is strongly suspected <br />to be historic in age. No artifacts were found nearby. Due to the lack of <br />artifacts and suspected recent age of this feature, it is not thought to be <br />eligible for the National Register. <br />Site 1154 is a prehistoric campsite of unknown age. It includes a possible <br />hearth, comprised of two large sandstone blocks. About 6 m away, two flakes <br />were noted. The site has no apparent depth and, along with the lack of <br />diagnostic artifacts, it does not appear to contain information important to the <br />prehistory of the region. The hearth contains no datable charcoal. As a <br />consequence, the site is not considered eligible for the National Register. <br />This site is defined ae a lithic scatter scatter, including a sparse <br />distribution of 24 flakes and a quartzite scraper, found on a ridge. The site <br />area is approximately 20 m E-W x 17 m N-S; no features are apparent within this <br />area. Several of the flakes exhibit reddening, possibly indicating heat- <br />treating, or perhaps a natural forest fire at the location. A lack of <br />diagnostic artifacts, cultural features, and apparent depth of cultural <br />materials argue that this lithic scatter is unlikely to contribute important <br />data to the prehistory of the area. It is not considered to be eligible for <br />nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. <br />This site is a prehistoric/recent historic limited activity site located atop a <br />ridge. The prehistoric component is indicated by the presence of a single chart <br />10-80 13 <br />
