manufactured by the Adolphus Busch Manufacturing Company between 1886 and 1928 (Toulouse <br />1971:26). In addition to 25+ glass fragments, about 10 fragments of white crockery were also <br />visible in the drainage banks. The remaining historic or modern items include a few corroded metal <br />cans, a mason jar lid, linked chain and a metal bolt. A total of three white chert flakes were also <br />present. Two are tertiary flakes; one is a secondary flake. <br />Eligibility and Management Recommendations. Site 5RT465 was a small site with <br />historic and prehistoric components that was originally recorded, completely collected and <br />recommended not eligible in 1985. SHPO concurred with that recommendation. Nothing was found <br />during this revisit that would contradict that original assessment. No further work is recommended. <br />5RT512 <br />Site Description. Site 5RT512 is located on the east side of County Road . 27 on a terrace <br />on the north side of an unnamed tributary of Fish Creek. The site was originally recorded as an <br />isolated find consisting of two flakes and a large mammal bone by Grand River Institute on <br />3/31/1986, but was expanded to a small lithic scatter by Foothills Engineering on 10/13/1994. On <br />6/11/1999, MAC revisited the site and greatly expanded the boundary. At the revisit in 1999, a dark <br />stain was recorded in the road near the northern site boundary. A projectile point, a utilized flake <br />and a light scatter of lithic flakes were also observed. The southern boundary was not based on the <br />extent of artifacts but on the extent of the terrace deposits present along the northern bank of the <br />unnamed, intermittent tributary of Fish Creek that lies just south of the site. A seasonal drainage <br />bounds the site to the east. An historic road, shown on a 1915 GLO plat and newly recorded as site <br />5RT2749.1, crosses through the northern portion of the site. At this location, the road is now a <br />maintained, gravel road. The site is vegetated by sagebrush, rabbitbrush, thistle and grasses. <br />Deposition is alluvial. Slopewashed sediments are also present. <br />During this revisit, one biface composed of white chert and 14 flakes were recorded. The <br />flakes (13 tertiary, one secondary) were primarily made of gray quartzite and white chert with a <br />small number of brown quartzite and brown chert flakes also present. A few flakes were found <br />eroding from the bank of the drainage along the eastern site boundary. Site 5RT1368, a previously <br />recorded site recommended as eligible for the NRHP, is directly across the drainage to the south. <br />Flakes were also observed in the southern bank of the drainage within the site boundaryof 5RT1368. <br />A small historic/modern component consisting of a key strip food can, a child's metal wagon, a <br />metal folding chair, a tricycle seat and rear wheels and scattered, sun-colored amethyst glass <br />fragments were also recorded. Clear and brown bottle glass fragments and a few sanitary cans were <br />scattered about the western half of the site. Some of this may be historic debris related to the <br />historic road. <br />Eligibility and Management Recommendations. Site 5RT512 was previously <br />recommended as needs data in1999. MAC supports that recommendation. If the site will be <br />subjected to physical disturbance from mine facilities, testing and/or data recovery should occur. <br />Assessment of potential effects from subsidence will be evaluated as part of a recommended site <br />condition monitoring program for the mine. Testing or data recovery may be triggered under this <br />program if the potential for site degradation from subsidence is observed during the monitoring <br />program. <br />24
