131 <br />. Sits: 5RT29 (Figs 1, 21). <br /> Site Type: Open Comp. <br /> Location: SW';NE';, Sec. 28, TSn, R86w; UTM Zone 13, E326,875m., N4,469,190m. <br /> Description: 5RT29 is an open camp, defined on the basis of a very scant <br /> scatter of flakes, ground stone fragments, and burnt rock in an area 15 by <br /> 30 m. Two features were defined. The first was a concentration of stained <br /> earth with numerous charcoal flecks, and the second was a partially distur- <br /> bed slab-lined hearth. The site is located at the base of a hill on a <br /> north-facing slope, over]ooking Foidel Creek 550 m, north. The nearest <br /> water, however, is in a seasonal drainage 300 m, east. The site elevation <br /> is 6950 ft. (2,118 m.). Vegetation on the site includes sagebrush, Gamble's <br /> oak, lupine, serviceberry, and local grasses. The site lies at the edge <br />• <br />~ of a plowed field and is also bisected by a fenceline and two-track jeep <br />. <br />trail. Roughly one-half the site lies in the field and has been subjected <br /> to a great deal of disturbance. Surface collecting has undoubtedly oc- <br /> curred, as area collectors know of the site. 5RT30 lies 500 m. to the <br /> northwest. <br />Diagnostic Artifacts: One metate fragment, Type IA. <br />Eva~ua ti on: 5RT29 has no potential for yielding information important to <br />prehistory and should not be nominated to the NRHP. No further action is <br />required. <br />• <br />
