Note <br />sloping terrain. View is looking toward the southwest. <br />sites that were located in the general area, two were historic sites, <br />5MF331 and 5P!F348; and three, SMF322, 5MF335, and 5)iF343, were open <br />lithic sites vrith no diagnostic artifacts present. <br />Breternitz (1970, 7972) conducted tyro archaeological inventories in <br />the area. These surveys resulted in the location of eight previously <br />unkno~m sites. 5~iF279, located near the confluence of the Yampa and the <br />Williams Fork River, yielded proectile points that dated betvreen AD 500 <br />and AD 1200 (Breternitz 1970: 5). Sites 5PiF281 and 5)1F289 had petronlyph <br />and pictograph panels depicting men on horseback. These have been <br />attributed to the Ute Indians after Hispanic contact (Breternitz 1972: 29). <br />There is very little data on the archaeology of the Yampa River Basin <br />and the !Jilliams Fork )lountain region. Hovrever, a general overview for <br />the area can be developed from the information collected during the <br />i <br />
