6 <br />a 4 x 5 meter wood frame floor with tongue-and-groove floor boards on a sandstone <br />slab pier foundation. On top of this floor/foundation was a loose heap of <br />structural debris. The debris included 2x4 framing, wall lath and stucco, <br />rafters, sheet metal flashing, corrugated sheet metal, linoleum scraps, and tow <br />log posts. Numerous nails observed in the debris were all stamped wire nails. <br />A few items of non-structural debris included sanitary cans and white glass <br />fragments. Vegetation in the site area was tall and moderately thick, but <br />patchy. Surface visibility ranged from good to very poor. No evidence was found <br />of any other buildings or structures. This site was originally recommended not <br />eligible for the Register, and has lost integrity and information potential since <br />that time. The present investigation concurs with the recommendation of not <br />eligible, and no further cultural resource work is recommended. <br />5MF3978 This isolated find consists of two pieces of abandoned farm <br />equipment. a steel barrel, and a modified fuel or chemical tank. Loops and <br />strands of barbed wire are also scattered through the area. These items are <br />located near an old fenceline in a small uncultivated area among cultivated <br />fields. The 1966 topographic map shows an unimproved road ending close to the <br />isolated find location, but no traces of this road are currently visible. Both <br />of the pieces of farm equipment are older tractor drawn types. One is a plow and <br />the other is a planter. The planter has an aluminum and plastic attachment that <br />was apparently added comparatively recently. However, both pieces of equipment <br />are rusty, and appear not to have been used or moved for many years. An empty. <br />aerosol, starter fluid can near the planter suggests that a machine, possibly a <br />tractor, was started at this location within recent years. There are no <br />indications of structural features or significant debris associated with these <br />items. This was apparently a field storage area for equipment used in the <br />adjacent fields. The materials have no historical significance or information <br />potential. This isolated find is recommended to be not eligible, and no further <br />cultural resource work is recommended. <br />Recommendations <br />The project area as marked at the time of cultural resource inventory does <br />not contain significant cultural resources. Therefore, the proposed undertaking <br />will not adversely impact any significant historic properties. Cultural resource <br />clearance is recommended for the project as surveyed. <br />
