~~ <br />x <br />Maps of site features were made by Brunton compass and metric <br />• tape. Cultural materials were collected if [hey were considered to <br />be temporally diagnostic. Data relative to each locality vas recorded <br />on the standard Archaeological Survey of Colorado Inventory Sheet. <br />Site localities were recorded on laboratory copies of the Somerset <br />7.5' quadrangle map. No sub-surface test excavation was employed. <br />All related materials are on file at the Department of Anthropology, <br />Fort Lewis College, Durango, Colorado 81301. <br />RESULTS <br />Two sites of historic non-aboriginal occupation were located <br />and subsequently identified by the designations SGN036 and SGN037. <br />5GN036 is located in the SE~'E~ of Section 16. Features <br />include two partial structures (Figures 4 and 5) of stone construc- <br />tion. A third structure may be represented by two burned upright <br />• posts. Miscellaneous building and equipment parts litter the site <br />area. <br />SGN037 is located in the NE-}STE} of Section 21. It is identified <br />by two plank/log constructed buildings (Figure s•6 and 7) and the <br />collapsed remains of a subterranean cellar, fronted by a stone wall <br />extending along the east perimeter of the site. <br />RECO2~U;NDATIONS <br />It is clear from the historical events related to SGN036 and <br />SCN037 that neither has local, state, or national historical signifi- <br />cance. Mitigation of impact to both is considered complete upon <br />submittal of this analysis. However, a concentrated oakbrush <br />community extends over approximately 707. of the area proposed for <br />• <br />14 <br />
