• Site Number 5RT165 <br />Temporary Number Y-T-3 <br />Site Type Historic Homestead <br />Cultural/Temporal Euro-American/early 1900s <br />Affiliation <br />Nearest water Spring/well <br />Environmental Setting The site is located in an arroyo bottom at <br />the head of a seasonal drainage on a <br />mountain with a northern aspect at an <br />elevation of 2,396 maters. aspen, <br />chokecherry, nettle, snowberry, wheat grass, <br />thistle, pine, and spruce occur on the site. <br />Site Size 90 m x 236 m <br />Site Description This site is a homestead consisting of six <br />features, the most intact of which are a barn <br />and attached tack room which have decayed <br />and collapsed inward. Other features are a <br />• root cellar with the door still attached, a <br />shed, a pen or corral, a spring or water hole, <br />and the probable remains of a house. 'This <br />house location is a flat rectangular area with <br />a few burned logs, indicating the house may <br />have been destroyed by fire. These features <br />are all poorly preserved. Artifacts observed <br />include a metal rim from a wagon wheel, <br />metal bed springs, ceramic fragments, metal <br />bed f••°ame, buggy springs, metal wagon axle, <br />and wire nails without clamp marks and with <br />large, thick, crude heads. The site probably <br />dates from the early 1900s based on the <br />artifact assemblage and local informants.* <br />Site Significance The site is not uniq:ie to the area, and would <br />add little to the knowledge of the history of <br />the area. It is considered insignificant and <br />ineligible to the NRHP. <br />Project Impact The site is within the permit boundaries but <br />outside the direct impact zone. <br />17ana^ement Recommendations A'o further work. <br />• <br />* Personal Communication, Leonard Toast, October 2, 1979 <br />~~ <br />
