125 <br />• s,c~~: 5P.i21 (Figs 1, 19). <br />bite Type: Open architectural, <br />Location: SW'-;SE=a, Sec. 26, TSn, R81w; UTI4 Zone 13, E329,920m., N4,469,150m. <br />Description: 5RT21 is an historic site composed of six architectural fea- <br />tures in an area 60 by 80 m. The site faces west toward Middle Creek which <br />lies 40 m. west at an elevation of 6960 ft. (2,121 m.). The site is situated <br />on a gentle west slope and sheltered by high ground to the north and north- <br />east. Vegetation around the site includes grasses and sagebrush. The <br />architectural features are almost entirely deteriorated, being defined on <br />the basis of stone-walled foundation outlines and depressions that were par- <br />tially dug into the hillside. Portable cultural materials visible include <br />horseshoes, glass, cast-iron stove parts, a woman's shoe, broken crockery, <br />nails,and other trash. No cultural or natural disturbance other than weath- <br />~• eeing is visible. <br />Diagnostic Artifacts: None. <br />Evaluacion: 6RT21 may be the location of one of the earlier homesteads <br />in the area. No final decision should be made concerning the site's nomi- <br />nation to the NRHP until a proper archival search has been carried out. <br />The absence of any architectural remains except foundations rules out nomi- <br />nation on architectural grounds. <br />• <br />
