154 <br />• site: 5RT18 (Figs 2, 33). <br />Bice Type: Open camp. <br />Location: NE';NW!;, Sec. 5, TSn, R87w; UTM Zone 13, E315,700m „ N4,477,110m. <br />Description: 5RT18 is an open camp composed of several concentrations of <br />lithic debris scattered over a small interfluvial ridge between Scotchmans <br />Gulch and an unnamed drainage. The site is located almost at the conflu- <br />ence of the two gulches, with a northeastern exposure. Elevation at the <br />site is .6640 ft. (2,024 m.). The local vegetation includes sagebrush, <br />grasses, and cactus. Water is available on a seasonal basis in Scotchmans <br />Gulch, 50 m. to the east. No visible features were observed. The cultural <br />materials, consisting of flakes and fragments of bifacial tools, projectile <br />points, and manos, were distributed in several concentrations in an area <br />60 by 70 m, (Fig. 33). <br />• The site is eroding and has been disturbed by a jeep trail that crosses <br />the eastern end of the site. Otherwise, it appears to be undisturbed. <br />Diagnostic Artifacts: Bifacial tool, Type ID; Projectile point, Type <br />IF. <br />svaiuation: 5RT18 fias a potential for yielding information important to the <br />regional prehistory. The site may have deeply buried deposits and will <br />shed important light on the use of the region by peoples in the regional <br />equivalent of the Middle Prehistoric Period. 5RT18 should be nominated to <br />the NRHP. <br />• <br />
