• 5RT 127 (T-5) <br />This is a small, sparse lithic scatter on a ridgetop overlooking Hubberson Gulch, with a <br />good view of the Yampa River Basin to the north. It lies on the ecotone between the <br />scrub oak and big sage communities. <br />Eight artifacts were observed in the field. Four of these are utilized flakes or tool <br />fragments, indicating both scraping and cutting activities. The four others are non- <br />utilized debitage, two of which show thermal alterations. This is probably due to a <br />recent fire, rather than heat treating, as evidence of a recent fire was observed. <br />A great deal of disturbance exists on site, in the form of road construction. Probably <br />509'0 of this site has been destroyed (see Photo 5-7). <br />Based on the paucity of cultural material, and the high percentage of tools, this site is <br />probably a limited activity site perhaps only used once. <br />• 5RT 128 (T-6) <br />This is a historic site, consisting of five structures, one of which may be 50 years old or <br />older. It lies on an alluvial bench in Hubberson Gulch, in o semiriparian and big sage <br />community (Photo 5-8). <br />Feature one has burned down and only the stone foundation remains. This feature could <br />be older than the rest, but the evidence one way or the other has carbonized. <br />Features Two, three, and five ore structures associated with feature one, which most <br />likely was residential. Feature two is a small structure, probably a shed of sawn logs <br />with sawn and adzed notches. The door is less than one meter high. The roof was pro- <br />bably brush. There is a steel screen in the door and this addition is post WW II. Feature <br />three is a small structure dug into a hillside, and so probably is a root cellar which has <br />mostly collapsed. Feature five is a small wooden foundation which appears to be the <br />remains of an outhouse. <br />Feature four is an earthen dam. Though there are beaver ponds in the area, this is al- <br />. most certainly of human construction, as it was all earth fill, and immediately adjacent <br />to the other features. <br />5_IS <br />
