10 <br />'ll Holes <br />All evidence of cultural activity located on drill hole sites or access <br />alignments is recent in nature. Debris and disturbances noted include those <br />associated with vehicular travel through the areas surveying actlvities~ drilling <br />activities, and recreational use of the North Folic Cagyon. <br />Haxlc's Nest Afine rea <br />The cursory examination given the Hawk's Nest Mine area revealed only re- <br />cent aryl mayor disturbances resulting from mining activities. Disturbance resulting <br />from vehicular travel and coal processing and transport were noted. Zt is highly <br />probable that ar~v historic or prehistoric remains that may have existed in the area <br />have been displaced or destroyed. <br />Minis Waste Disposal Area <br />One isolated prehistorlc artifacts one isolated historic artifact, and much <br />recent debris were noted in this project area. <br />Recent debris appeared to be the result of use of this area as a dump. <br />~umerous piles of recent trash occur throughout the area and include bottles and <br />bars with screx top lids cans with crimped as opposed to soldered seams, and plas- <br />tic and rubber items. <br />The skeletal remains of sheep were also noted in the project area. This <br />may indicate that the area xas previously used for sheep grazing (which may also <br />quallfy as a partial explanation for the lack of vegetation in the area). However, <br />the occurrence of two sheep skeletons with a recent trash pile may indicate that <br />carcasses were merely disposed of with other domestic trash. <br />One historic bottle fragment was noted in a pile of more recent trash. The <br />item is the neck and tenriinus of a bottle with mold seams extending to within one <br />inch of the tenninus~ and then curving at the end. Tt is discolored to a Saint . <br />greens with rainbowed blotches across the surface. The item was not collected. <br />A prehistoric isolated find was encountered during investigations and was <br />collected. The item is a dark brown translucent chert flake with two snap fractures <br />and a slight amount of lateral retouch. Though breakage has removed the proximal <br />potion of the flakes slight medial thickening may indicate that the flake had a <br />• bulb of percussion when whole. <br />
