(2,071 m.). Vegetation surrounding <br />the site includes sagebrush, wild onion, bitterbrush, native grasses, cot- <br />tonwood,and willow. The site consists of the remains of two structures <br />built against a low, 1.5 m. sandstone outcrop used as one wall and two <br />freestanding structures. Just north of the site, on top of the sand- <br />stone outcrop,there is an abandoned roadbed which can be traced several <br />hundred meters to the east and west, paralleling Foidel Creek. The two <br /> structures that abut the stone outcrop are a partially collapsed log house <br /> and a masonry root cellar with a corrugated iron roof. The two freestand- <br />ing structures are completely collapsed. One appears to be an outdoor <br />toilet and the other a multiroom dwelling. Both of these were built <br />with milled lumber. Additional cultural material includes rusted sheet <br />metal, bedsprings, cinders, coal ash, and glass fragments. <br />Diagnostic Artifacts: 1919 "D" Lincoln cent. <br />evaluation: No recommendation can be made for 5RT28 until archival re- <br />search has been carried out by a trained historian. <br /> <br />
