• Site Number 5RT164: The Leonard Yoast Site <br />Temporary Number Y-T-2 <br />Site Type Core reduction/Limited activity <br />Cultural/Temporal Aboriginal/unknown <br />Affiliation <br />Nearest SVater Sage Creek <br />Environmental Setting The site is located at an elevation of 2,248 <br />meters on the end of a ridge with a southeast <br />aspect. Vegetation on the site is a mixed <br />sage/scrub community consisting of big sage, <br />mountain mahogany, scrub oak, and <br />snowberry <br />Site Size 13 in x 10 m . <br />Site Description This site is a small, limited activity site <br />adjacent to the Yoast house. The site is on a <br />small knoll just above a bench mark (7,367 <br />ft), marked on the USGS quadrangle. <br />• Recovered material indicates secondary and <br />tertiary core reduction were the activities <br />that took place. Ten u+hite chert-to- <br />chalcedony flakes were observed and <br />photographed. All the debitage exhibits <br />platform preparation techniques indicative of <br />core reduction rather than tool reduction. <br />The knoll allows a good view up both Sage <br />Creek and the drainage where 5RT163 is <br />located. Tlie knoll top appears to be an <br />erosional rather than depositional situation. <br />Site Significance This sparse scatter lacks features or formal <br />tools, and is impaired by erosion. Additional <br />data recovery would add little knowledge to <br />the prehistory of the area. The site is <br />considered insignificant and ineligible to the <br />NRHP. <br />Project Impact <br />The site is within the permit boundaries but <br />outside the direct impact zone. <br />;17anagement Recommendations <br /> <br />No further work. <br />21 <br />
