AL1 of the three campsites were located in the • <br />immediate vicinity of ephemeral drainages. Two of the <br />drainages contained permanent springs. Two campsites, <br />SRT139 and 5RT145) are found adjacent to a small saddle and <br />one (5RT142) is located on alluvium. <br />Two variables in the floral component of site attri- <br />butes are constant. Snowberry and big sage are present <br />on all sites. In a larger community sense, two campsites <br />(5RT139 and SRT1~+5) are in both sage and scrub communities. <br />5RT142, located on an alluvial floor, is in the sage com- <br />munity, though the scrub community is located within 50 <br />meters. <br />Site SRT147, a limited activity biface manufacture <br />site, is Located within a mixed scrub and sage community. <br />The closest potential water source, an ephemeral stream, <br />is approximately 120 meters to the northeast. The presence <br />of only one task, based on the artifact inventory, was <br />used to define this site as a limited activity biface • <br />manufacture site. Artifacts include: two biface frag- <br />ments, probably broken during manufacture, biface reduction <br />flakes, and a number of flakes which are probably biface <br />reduction flakes. <br />The probable biface reduction flakes are all missing <br />platforms, and this missing part precludes absolute identi- <br />fication as biface reduction flakes. These artifacts are <br />all evidence of one task, tool manufacture, though this <br />can be refined to a portion of the tool manufacture task, <br />biface manufacture. <br />Evidence of two time periods, Paleo-Indian and <br />Historic, are present within the survey boundary. These <br />are represented by the Paleo-Indian Cody complex and the' <br />Historic Euro-American. Other time periods may be repre- <br />sented, but no materials diagnostic of these periods were <br />encountered. • <br />34 <br />
