Aspen, snowberry, raspberry, <br />wheatgrass, yarrow, thistle, and sage occur <br />on the site. <br />Site Area 30 m x 17 m <br />Site Description This site is a' relatively small homestead <br />situated downslope and to the north of <br />5RT165. The homestead, which was built by <br />'.7r. Linholm,* consists of a small cabin, an <br />attached tool shed, possible outhouse, <br />chicken coop, and a pond. The cabin, which <br />• has northern and western windows and lacks <br />a roof, is constructed of sawn and axe- <br />notclied logs. Nails, including finishing nails, <br />were used in construction. The attached <br />shed is partially dug back into the wall of the <br />drainage. A small rectangular foundation of <br />milled lumber may be the remains of an <br />outhouse. Across the drainage (northwest) <br />are the remnants of a chicken coop and a pile <br />of crushed oyster shells. Only the corner of <br />the coon, which was constructed of sawn, <br />notched logs, still remains. An earthen and <br />log dam south of the cabin (up the drainage) <br />still holds a supply of water. Athick-walled <br />7/8"(outside diameter) pipe extends from the <br />dam and terminates near the cabin. <br />According to Mr. Yoast* this homestead is <br />about 70 years old. Artifacts observed <br />include a wood burning stove (Cribben and <br />Sexton, Chicago-Pennant Universal), photo- <br />. colored purple bottle glass, photo-colored <br />green plate glass, large forged nails, and <br />small wire finishing nails with clamp marks <br />and symetrical heads. <br />• <br />* Personal Communication, Leonard Toast, October 2, 1979 <br />?3 <br />
