159 <br />• Site: ,5RT22 (Figs 2, 36, 37). <br />site Type: Open camp. <br />Location: SW;NW';, Sec. 9, T5n, R87w; UTP1 Zone 13, E317,610m., N4,474,780m. <br />Description: 5RT22 is an open camp located 400 m. south of the head of <br />a small drainage basin on the west side of the drainage floor. The eleva- <br />tion is 6760 ft. (2,060 m.). Vegetation on the site consists of sagebrush, <br />cactus, wild onion, dandelion, Gamble's oak, serviceberry, and local grasses. <br />The site covers an area 60 by 110 m., most of which has a fairly even scat- <br />ter of flakes. <br />One major concentration of tools and chipping debris was observed in <br />a flat, unvegetated and deflated area approximately 4 m. in diameter (Fig. <br />36). No permanent features were observed. Cultural materials observed con- <br />• sist of flakes, metate fragments, projectile points, undiagnostic biface <br /> fragments, unifacial tools, and a chopper. The soil on which these were <br />found was much lighter in color and finer in texture than that which was <br />trapped in the vegetation. The vegetated clumps did not produce any arti- <br />factual materials. On the western edge of the site the hillside is slump- <br />ing, exposing the lighter earth beneath (Fig. 37). <br />The site is subject to deflation and sheetwash erosion. Arroyo cut- <br />ting is taking place immediately adjacent to the site. The hillside to the <br />west of the site is under cultivation at the present time, and the site is <br />known to local collectors. 5RT22 is possibly related to 5RT19 and 5RT20, <br />as they all lie in the same drainage basin, separated by only a few hund- <br />red meters. <br />Diagnostic artifacts: Projectile points, Types IA, IVA; a metate, Type IIA; <br />• manos, Type IVA, IVB, IVD; and unifacial tools, Type IIA, IID; chopper, <br />Type IA. <br />
