131 <br />-~ site: 5RT29 (Figs 1, 21). <br />Site Type: Open Comp. <br />vocation: SW;NE1<, Sec. 28, TSn, R86w; UTM Zone 13, E326,875m., N4,469,790m. <br />Description: 5RT29 is an open camp, defined on the basis of a very scant <br />scatter of flakes, ground stone fragments, and burnt rock in an area 15 by <br />1 30 m. Two features were defined. The first was a concentration of stained <br /> earth with numerous charcoal flecks, and the second was a partially distur- <br /> bed slab-lined hearth. The site is located at the base of a hill on a <br /> north-facing slope, overlooking Foidel Creek 550 m. north. The nearest <br /> water, however, is in a seasonal drainage 300 m. east, The site elevation <br /> 1 ' <br /> is 6950 ft. (2,1 <br />8 m.). Vegetation on the site includes sagebrush, Gamble <br />s <br /> oak, lupine, serviceberry, and local grasses. The site lies at the edge <br /> of a plowed field and is also bisected by a fenceline a nd two-track jeep <br />~• trail. Roughly one-half the site lies in the field and has been subjected <br /> to a great deal of disturbance. Surface collecting has undoubtedly oc- <br /> <br /> curred, as area collectors know of the site. 5RT30 lies 500 m. to the <br />northwest, <br />Diagnostic artifacts: One metate fragment, Type IA. <br />Evaluation: 5RT29 has no potential for yielding information important to <br />prehistory and should not be nominated to the NRHP. No further action is <br />required. <br />.~ <br />• <br />3 <br />1 <br />
