• Feature six is a large can in a tree that has been converted to a bird house. It still <br />contains a nest, though apparently is abandoned as is The rest of the site. <br />Temporarily diagnostic artifacts include: double wrap, double strand barbed wire, bot- <br />tles, and jars with the seam through the neck, steel screen, an enameled pot, clamp <br />marked crimped, seamed cans with stamped numbers, and a number of cans strung on o <br />wire, possible to save metal during WW II. The only structure (Feature One) possibly old <br />enough to be considered is in ruins, so must be dated on the basis of the other structures, <br />which are not 50 years old. <br />5RT129 (HO I-5) <br />This site consists of a series of historic carvings in aspen trees along a tributary to Sage <br />Creek. The carvings run for about 800 feet, and may continue outside the survey area. <br />All carvings but one are by the same person, made during the same month (August <br />1929). The other carving is on the same tree as one of the others and dated 190? (last <br />digit illegible). <br />• Several very modern sheep camps (logs tied into trees, one sheepherder present) are <br />along this drainage. It is possible that these carvings are associated with sheepherding <br />activities, though this is not certain. <br />5RT 130 (T-7) <br />This is a small, sparse lithic scatter of debitage and a few broken tools. It lies on a small <br />sage flat just off a major northwest-southeast trending ridge. On top of the ridge is a <br />scrub oak community. It is on the edge of a small arroyo, and appears highly eroded by <br />sheet wash. There is an excellent view to the south of a large clearing and ultimately <br />the Williams Fork Mountains. <br />A fragment of a small corner-notched projectile point and a knife fragment were ob- <br />served. Fifteen other artifacts were observed, all of which were flakes. Inferred activi- <br />ties included hunting, cutting, biface reduction, and scraping. This site is probably <br />associated with 5RT131 (T-8) and 5RT132 (T-9). <br />• 5RT 131 (T-8) <br />This site is larger, but with a lower artifact density than 5RT130 (T-7), which is just to <br />the southeast. It lies on a small saddle on the ridgetop and an immediately adjacent sage <br />flat to the west. The site also lies on the sage/scrub oak ecotone. <br />5-20 <br />
