174 <br />i <br />Site: 5MF323 (Fig. 4). <br />site type: Open architectural, <br />Location: SE!;SW!;, Sec. 26, Ton, R912; UTM Zone 13, E280,800m., N4,462,355m. <br />Description: 5MF323 consists of six log structures located on both sides of <br />an unnamed seasonal drainage that flows into Deer Creek. The site elevation <br />is 7520 ft. (2,292 m.). The nearest water is the seasonal drainage, which is <br />about 3 m, away. Vegetation in the site area consists of serviceberry, Gam- <br />tile's oak, sagebrush, fern, aspen, and grasses. <br />A steep, rugged slope rises on the northwest side of the site, while on <br />the southeast side of the drainage the slope is less rugged. As of July, <br /> <br />1975, the southeast slope was cultivated in pasture grass. <br />Six features were recorded. One structure was completely collapsed, <br />the other five were in various states of decay. Cultural material observed <br />includes a junked automobile, discarded farm machinery, glass and ceramic fra- <br />gments, assorted hardware, and trash. The site has been heavily disturbed <br />by grazing cattle, but otherwise appears undisturbed. <br />Diagnostic Artifacts: NOne. <br />evaluation: 5FiF323 should be given further consideration by a trained Colorado <br />historian. Also, the architectural remains at the site should be evaluated <br />by the proper authority. Consequently, we can offer no recommendation for the <br />future treatment of 5MF323. <br />u <br />
