• ~ REPORT ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS <br />IN THE VICINITIES OF THE ALLEN AND t1AX1dELL MINES, <br />CF6I STEEL CORPORATION, LAS ANIMAS COUNTY, COLORADO <br />fly John Mactin Campbell, Ph.D. <br />The following report provides information sufficient to satisfy <br />the requirements of the new Federal Office of Surface Mining (Sec. 783.12), <br />and State Mined Land Reclamation Board (Sec. 2.04.4) regulations at the <br />CF6I Steel Corporation Allen and Maxwell Ptines, which are situated near <br />the Purgatoire River, and near Colorado State Highway Number 12, about <br />30 miles west of Trinidad, Colorado. <br />Investigations a[ the Allen !tine: As per your instructions I <br />intensively examined twenty-two (22) acres which lie between the <br />Purgatoire River and Colorado State Highway 12, just west of the Allen <br />:Line Headquarters (see enclosed Maps 1 and 2). This locality lies at <br />an elevation of about 7500 feet, above sea level, and slopes gently <br />southward from the above noted highway to the Purgatoire River. <br />During my investigations in Late fall and early winter 1980 the <br />ground 'surfaces were rather extensively covered with herbs and forbs, <br />and small copses of short "trees". Dominant plan[ species included <br />• Cambel's oak and coyote willow, Other, most notable species included <br />sweet clover, goldenrod, mullein, sunflower, IJood's rose, winter fat, <br />rag sumpweed, Palmer's snowberry, cockleburs, false terragon, sage, alder, <br />Virginia chokecherry and horsetail. <br />The bird species observed were: red-tailed hawk, wild turkey, <br />Lewis' woodpecker, dipper, robin and white-crowned sparrow. <br />Mammals included: racoon, coyote and mule deer. Note. specific <br />Latin names of these plants and animals will be supplied on request. <br />On this plot of ground the archaeological materials observed were <br />as follows: <br />(1) Three (3) widely scattered and widely separated quartzsite <br />spalls which had not been retouched, and which were undiagnostic as <br />regards former cultural origin or affiliation. <br />(2) Six (6) fragments of ungulate long bone which were found <br />eroding from an arroyo bank near the easternmost margin of the locality <br />in question (see Map 2). These fragments occurred two hundred and fifty <br />(250) feet south of Colorado State Highway 12. Tliey protruded from the <br />east side of the arroyo bank, two (2) feet above the bottom of the arroyo, <br />and seven (7) feet below the top of the bank. The bones are too fragmen- <br />tary to be positively determined, but they may represent Bison, and L <br />feel that this particular location should be further examined before it <br />• is covered with tailings or otherwise destroyed. <br />
