<br />Below the rock art panels are four rockshelters formed near the contact <br />• between the Sego sandstone and the underlying shale layers. <br />The rock shelters exhibit soil depth of 10 cm+ and the probability of cultural <br />fill is great. Drylaid sandstone walls are also visible on the site, perhaps <br />remnants of a prehistoric habitation site. The trunk of a dead juniper that <br />has grown between the blocks of one wall indicates the wall is 100 to 200 <br />years old. <br />Some of the masonry may be of recent construction, however, a mano has been <br />located on the site surface. Surficially, 5GF1147 has yielded few artifacts <br />perhaps due to collection and the rapid rate of dispostion occurring on the <br />site. <br />• Evaluation <br />This site is recommended as eligible for inclusion to the National Register of <br />Historic Places. Site 5GF1147 is likely to contain significant subsurface <br />cultural materials in relation to the rock art. It has retained integrity of <br />location and association and has the potential to yield important information <br />regarding prehistoric and early post historic adaptations and utilization of <br />the Bookcliffs area of Douglas Pass. <br />5GF741 <br />Site SGF741 is a NNW facing sandstone overhang containing juniper bark - <br />Indian ricegrass mats within the dripline. No other Cultural resources were <br />• located. This site may represent a temporary shelter. <br />
