141 <br />Site: 5RT13 (Fig.S 1, 25, 26). <br />site Type: Open camp. <br />rotation: SE;SW;, Sec. 35, T5n, R86w; UTM Zone 13, E329,880m., N4,466,570m. <br />Description: SRT13 is located on the west side of a high, north-trending <br />ridge which slopes down to Middle Creek and overlooks the confluence of <br />two seasonal drainages. The site elevation is 7392 ft. (2,253 m.). Tl~e <br />vegetation consists of aspen, Gamble's oak, serviceberry, sage, and grasses. <br />The nearest water is in an unnamed drainage 800 m. to the southwest. The <br />site faces to the west and covers an area 10 by 15 m. <br />Contents of the site are minimal, consisting of two manos (Fig. 25) <br />in proximity to an aspen grove. A powerline (fig. 26) and access road <br />cross the site on the west side, causing possible disturbance. 5RT13 is <br />located about 300 m. northwest of 5RT14. <br />Diagnostic Artifacts: TWO manos, Type IVC. <br />evaluation: SRT13's elevated location substantially reduces the prob- <br />ability of significant buried deposits on the site. Also, disturbance <br />of the site during construction of a nearby powerline is highly likely. <br />5RT13 has no potential for yielding important information to local, <br />state, or national prehistory and should not be nominated to the NRHP. <br />No further preservation action, either in the form of salvage or avoid- <br />ance of the site, is necessary. <br />
