131 <br />• Site: 5RT29 (Figs 1, 21), <br />site Type: Open camp. <br />rgcacion: SlJ';NE';, Sec. 28, TSn, R86w; UTM Zone 13, E326,875m., N4,469,790m. <br />Description: 5RT29 is an open camp, defined on the basis of a very scant <br />scatter of flakes, ground stone fragments, and burnt rock in an area l5 by <br />30 m. Two features were defined. The first was a concentration of stained <br />earth with numerous charcoal flecks, and the second was a partially distur- <br />bed.slab-lined hearth. The site is located at the base of a hill on a <br />north-facing slope, overlooking Foidel Creek 550 m. north. The nearest <br />water, however, is in a seasonal drainage 300 m. east. The site elevation <br />is 6950 ft. (2,118 m,). Vegetation on the site includes sagebrush, Gamble's <br />oak, lupine, serviceberry, and local grasses. The site lies at the edge <br />of a plowed field and is also bisected by a fenceline and two-track jeep <br />trail. Roughly one-half the site lies in the field and has been subjected <br />to a great deal of disturbance. Surface collecting has undoubtedly oc- <br />curred, as area collectors know of the site. 5RT30 lies 500 m. to the <br />northwest. <br />Diagnostic artifacts: One metate fragment, Type IA. <br />evaluation: 5RT29 has no potential for yielding information important to <br />prehistory and should not be nominated to the NRHP. No further action is <br />required. <br />C~ <br />
