17) may have been a privy. Although no definitive walls or boundaries were seen,
• the depression measures approximately 1.5 m a 1.5 m and presently contains
historic debris including a kerosceae can, an overshoe sole and portions of a
cast iron cookstove embossed with "No. 118". The top and frame~of the stove vere
- apparently of cast iron, while the side vas constructed of sheet octal. Fragments
of purple and iredeseeatly hued clear glass, a metal coal hod and
a zinc canning lid vere also observed in the immediate vicinity of Feature 3.
Feature 2, sltuated immediately south of the third trash coneeatration,
-', consisted of an excavated, flattened foundation area with charred logs, suggesting
the presence of a two roomed structure. One rectangular portion of the foundation,
delineated by charred lags imbaaked in the northern sad western vans, measured
_ 5 m a 4.5 m (E-i~ . The second, smaller room, defined by charred. logs embanked in
the apparent western and southern walls, meaanred approzimately 1.5 m a 2' (?) m
(N-S). It is located on the northern aide of the larger room. The northern pori~on
portion of the collapsed and burst structure was totally overgrown by chokecherries
and the precise definition of the disentions of the foundation was subsequently
impossible. .The presence of a charred log between the two rooms may also be
interpreted as a collapsed roof beam or ridge pole for roof support of a
' single roam structure. it currently appears more likely that it was a two room
structure because this beam vas oriented perpendicular to the long axis of the
room (s). The structure appears to have bees roofed or "shingled" with
sheet metal. IInder the sheet metal, which collapsed with the structure, are
the remains of a eastiron eookstove which had sleet metal sides. It is possible
' that the stave parts is Feature 3 were also part of this stove.
. A dispersed scatter of historic trash, measuring approaimately 15 m in
diameter is located around and to the south sad east of Feature 2. Materials
• observed include fragments of rusted sheet metal, thick, clear plate glass,
zinc tanning jar lids, an ash box for a cookstove (probably the cookstove is
Feature 2), a galvanized washtub, rusted baling wire, as aqua glass bottle
with side sad basal seams, white ironstone china sherds, fragments of a tan
ceramic crock, fragments of purple, opaque white, aqua, amber and clear glass,
the cover of a metal mianw bucket, a galvanized metal bin, a portion of a man's
boot, a flattened and rested wash basin, and 1 sherd of a floral patterned china.
- A fifth concentration of cultural debris is situated approaimately 70 m
south of Feature 2 and measnreg 40 m (N-S) x 15 m. Historic materials include
rusted, flattened condensed milk cans with soldered lids, white china fragments,
and a flat..metallic object with a semicircular outline (maximum diameter - 10 cm),
a single hole piercing the center sad inscribed with a patent date of Juae 18, 1895.
A small, "A" frame type structure, constructed of saw-cut milled lumber sad
' rusted sheet metal, vas observed within this concentration in the eonthvest portion
of the site. The structure is located on the edge of dense scrub undergrowth, which
ascends wesivard. The protruding and extremely weathered woden frame appears to
be similar to a sawhorse is construction sad is covered by several large pieces
of rusted sheet metal; The latter are attached by mesas of round headed nails. The
function of this structure is ualmowa, though ii may have been the sheltered portion
of a pea for small livestock or a livestock feeder. Further evidence for activities
associated with livestock raising in the southern portion of the site include the
presence of a wooden feed bunk, a tractor tire, which has been cut in ha12 longitudia-
for use as a feed container, a salt block, 3 stock ponds, and a lath and wire snow
fence which vas supported by green and vhi*_e steel posts. The above mentioned vere
utilized Daly is relationship eo the sheep industry (Hartley Bloomfield, Sz. October
. 24, 1979: personal eommuaieation). Springs are present in each of the three stock
ponds. These ponds may have obliterated say evidence of a yell or of a spring box
associated with the homestead. Reeeat debris, probably associated vita heating
activities, were also observed in the souther portion of the site and immediately
north. of the boundary of a large aspen grove, which extends southward up the dralaage-
Many elk sad deer vere observed in this aspen grove. The recent debris included
