Eligibility and Management Recommendations. Site 5RT991.2 was previously <br />recommended as not eligible for NRHP inclusion. MAC found nothing during the current revisit <br />to contradict that assessment. No further work is recommended. <br />5RT1368 <br />Site Description. Site 5RT1368 was originally recorded on 6/9/1999 by Metcalf <br />Archaeological Consultants,, Inc. The site was described as a large lithic scatter located on the <br />southern bank of an unnamed, intermittent tributary of Fish Creek. A dark soil lens with charcoal <br />eroding out of it was observed in the drainage cutbank approximately 30 cm below the surface. <br />More flakes were visible in the western portion of the site where sediments had been more affected <br />by erosion. The site was determined to have good potential for intact, subsurface deposits and was <br />recommended eligible for NRHP inclusion. <br />During this revisit, the site was found to be much as it was described in its original <br />documentation. The site boundary was extended to the west, east and south to include artifacts <br />observed outside of the original site boundary. The original site measured 79 m N/S x 28 m N/S. <br />The revised site boundary is 85 m N/S x 145 m E/W. Artifacts observed outside the original site <br />boundary included one biface composed of gray chert and 40 flakes. The predominant flake <br />material is white chert with small quantities of tan and red chert and gray, white and tan quartzite <br />also present. <br />Eligibility and Management Recommendations. Site 5RT 1368 retains integrity. This site <br />was originally recommended eligible for the NRHP and has SHPO <br /> <br />concurrence. MAC found nothing during this revisit to contradict that <br />original recommendation. If the site will be subjected to physical <br />disturbance from mine facilities, testing and/or data recovery should <br />occur. Assessment of potential effects from subsidence will be evaluated <br />as part of a recommended site condition monitoring program for the <br />mine. Testing or data recovery may be triggered under this program if <br />the potential for site degradation from subsidence is observed during the <br />monitoring program. <br />5RT1369 <br />z `m Site Description. Site 5RT1369 was originally recorded by <br />C? Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Inc. on 6/10/1999. The original <br />documentation describes the site as a light lithic scatter and three tools. <br />Figure 2 5RT1369 Although the site had a small artifact assemblage, it included two <br />projectile point. diagnostic projectile points and one mano. The site is located on the <br />north terrace of an east-flowing intermittent tributary of Fish Creek. <br />Vegetation is primarily grasses with some low sagebrush and prickly pear. Deposition is alluvial <br />with deep terrace deposits. It is located in an area with good potential for subsurface, cultural <br />deposits. Site 5RT1369 was recommended eligible for NRHP inclusion and has SHPO concurrence. <br />MAC archaeologists; conducting this revisit found the site much as it was when it was first <br />recorded. The base of a Late Prehistoric side-notched projectile point was discovered (Figure 2). <br />27
