(2,249 m. ). Local vegetation around the site includes sage, <br />Gamble's oak, grasses, and serviceberry. The site covers an area 35 by 35 m. <br />The site Consists of a thin scatter of flakes adjacent to a small drain- <br />n <br />U <br />age roughly 10 m, north of a small seep. It is protected on tt,c nur•tl, ~,iid <br />east by an aspen grove and exposed to the west. Cultural materials recovered <br />from this site Include flakes, a scraper, and two manos. The site is adja- <br />cent to an existing powerltne and access rood, and thus may br subject to <br />disturbance by relic hunters. There is no disturbance visible other than <br />surface erosion. The site is 300 m, southeast of 5RT13. <br />Diagnostic Artifacts: TWO manos, Type IVC, IUD; and one unifacial scraper, <br />Type IIB. <br />Evaluation: 5RT14 has no potential for yielding information important to <br />regional, state, or national prehistory and should not be nominated to the <br />NRHP. However, should the site be directly endangered by future develop- <br />ment, we recommend that other statutes governing the conservation of anti- <br />quities be invoked and that the site be considered for saivage excavation, <br />• <br />
