115 <br />• Site: 5RT32 (Figs 1, 15). <br /> site Type: Open camp. <br />Location: SW!3NlJ'3, Sec. 31, TSn, R86w; UTM Zone 13, E323,025m., N4,468,125m. <br />Description: 5RT32 consists of a wide scatter of flakes and tools distrib- <br />uted north-south on an interfluvial ridge and east-west on the terrace <br />above the confluence of Foidel Creek and an unnamed drainage. The site <br />is exposed to the south and southeast. Elevation at the site is 6880 ft. <br />(2,097 m.). The vegetation includes rabbitbrush, sagebrush, and native <br />grasses. The nearest water source is Foidel Creek, 60 m. to the south. <br />Cultural materials consisting of many flakes, a large metate, mono frag- <br />ments, and chipped stone tools, were spread in an area 90 by 100 m. No <br />visible features were present, but the tool inventory indicates that this <br />is an open camp. The site has been disturbed by a powerline that crosses <br />• the western end. The site is in plain view of Routt County 27 and within <br />m. of the Energy Fuel's strip mine operation. <br />Diagnostic Artifacts: Two mono fragments, Type IVB; a biface, Type I; <br />a projectile point, Type VB; a graver, Type IB; metates, Type IA, IB, IIB; <br />and a hammerstone, Type IB. <br />evaluation: 5RT32 is believed to have potential for yielding information <br />important to prehistory at the local level. The site has been the scene <br />of prehistoric domestic activities, and should provide information on hu- <br />man behavior in the region during the equivalent of the Middle Prehistoric <br />Period. We recommend that 5RT32 be nominated to the NRHP. <br />• <br />
