• METHODOLOGY ' <br />The entire area within the tract boundary was examined intensively <br />. on foot, except those with a slope of greater than approximately 15% and <br />the areas immediately adjacent to the Eripire Energy Housing area, Okie <br />7 <br />Plaza. However, the crew came as close as seemed reasonable to the houses <br />and office structures; within ca 10 m. Crew members walked between 3 and <br />• ~ 15 m apart, depending on topography and vegetation. <br />The only surface outside of the tract boundary investigated was a very <br />small area, within the estimated area of disturbance by the proposed develop- <br />ment, located just north of the P1E;S4!';, Sec. 6, and included a short stretch <br />i <br />of access road. <br />. ~, <br />• ~ RESULTS <br />• .~ Two prehistoric sites and one isolated artifact were found during the <br />reconnaissance. One site, 5MF681, and the isolated find, a quartzite flake, <br />are located within the estimated area of disturbance, while the other site, <br />5MF680, is a considerable distance from the proposed development and should <br />not be affected by it. <br />Site 5tiFG81 (Fig. 3) was characterized by an extremely meager artifac- <br />tual assemblage, consisting of a scraper, a core, and one flake. The soil <br />at the site and in the surrounding area contained large numbers of quartzite <br />cobbles, a potential source of material for the manufacture of tools. Except <br />for the aforementioned artifacts, none cf the material appears to have been <br />worked. ' <br />Site 5A1FG80 (Fig.. 4, 5) yielded a significantly larger amount of cultural <br />material, both tools and the remains of tool manufacture. Although nc <br />_... <br />
