SMF281B. "A" is about 40 feet long, 6 feet wise, and <br />4 to 6 Eeet high. It contains a unique example of <br />rock art tainted in red which shows a man on foot <br />shooting a bow and arrow at a man on horseback who is <br />pointing a lance (?) at the standing figure. The pic- <br />tograph is 25 cm. long (see Fig. 7). Ten cm. to the <br />right and 15 cm. below the above motif is another, <br />indistinct red design. "B" is a low overhang just <br />north of "A". It is 15 feet long, 3 to 4 feet wide <br />and only 3 feet high. There is a series o[ rather <br />indistinct red lines, 80 cm. long, on the wall of the <br />north end of the shelter. There is also another <br />faint, illegible red pictograph in the center of the <br />shelter. Although both "A" and "B" are low overhancs <br />~• at the oresent time, there may be considerable cultur- <br />al depth in both of them. A shallow test in "B" in- <br />dicates a sandy, charcoal flecked fill. <br />Material Recovered: (A11 from hilltop portion of site) <br />1 graver tip on a small flake <br />12 utilized flakes <br />2 cor_s from which flakes have been struc:c <br />127 small pieces of chipping detritus without evidence <br />OL uL11'_Zat1CR <br />Comments: If a dam is built below the Yampa-Williams Fork con- <br />'lueace, this site ~,~i11 be flooded, necessitating <br />salvace excavation of the "~." and "B" tortlc:a .' one <br />• <br />
