Site number SMF949: <br />C/S-1/2/SE/NE/SW of Sec. 8-TSN-R90W. (UTM: 13,285000 mE, 4476780 mN). A rock shelter with <br />associated red ocher figurine and abraded areas was recorded. Archeological Services recommended <br />that this site be tested to determine National Register eligibility, and that if construction activity comes <br />within 50 feet of the site, the site should be fenced. Further investigation of this site indicates it is the <br />same sRe surveyed by Bretemitz in 1972 and recorded as 5MF290 (refer to part IX of Appendix K). <br />2.9.2 Guttural and Historical Resources <br />In 1977, C. Arthur and C. Jennings recorded one historical sHe (5MF348) within the Trapper Mine pro- <br />posed permit area during a Class II archaeological reconnaissance. This slte is located in the NW1/4, <br />NW1/4 of Section 5, TSN, R91W. Their recommendation for this site was to awalt detailed archival <br />research on the site and an evaluation of the architectural remains by a trained Coloredo historian prior <br />to making a determination of the historical significance. In 1960, Rick Atheam, Colorado State Office <br />Historian for the Bureau of Land Management, evaluated this historic site (see recommendation in <br />Append'a K). Based on the site fortes prepared by C. Arthur, Mr. Atheam conducted that this site did not <br />• qualify for inGusion on the National Register of Hist` ric Places. <br />A second identified historic site was located by Archeological Services during the 1980 Class III cultural <br />resourrz survey of Trapper Mine. This site (SMF950) is located in the NWMWMEMW of Section 10, <br />TSN, R90W and was described as "historic structures with a scattering of recent debris". It is in a small <br />meadow with a spring. The area is presently being used as a sheep watering hole and bedding ground." <br />The recommendation by Archeological Services, is that if the slte will be impacted, local informants and <br />local history should be consulted to see if the site is of local significance. In May, 1987, stte SMF950 was <br />surveyed by Nickens and Associates at Trapper Mine's request. Results of the survey are shown in <br />Appendix K, Part XII. Based on the survey results, the State Historic Preservation Officer ruled that stte <br />wes not eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (App. K, Part XII). <br />2-591 ----rnK_IS~{ ------- <br />:i~F=v' <br />
