Class III Inventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project 337 <br />potential to contain intact significant subsurface cultural deposits or provide any additional <br />information that would significantly further the prehistory of the region. <br />The site lies within the mine permit boundary, but it is not eligible for the NRHP and there will be <br />no project effect. Cultural resource clearance is recommended, with no further work. <br />6.2.21 Site 5MY1656 <br />Site Tyne Historic homestead <br />Legal Location Section 25, T4N, R94W <br />Landowner Private <br />Site Dimensions 453 x 115 ft <br />C Site Description Site 5MF1656 lies within the northwest portion of the current Colowyo project <br />boundary and was recorded in 1983 by TRC Mariah for the Utah International Inc. Danforth Hills <br />project. The site consisted of the ruins of a homestead, with features and artifacts located just west <br />of a stock pond and earthen dam in the bottom of Little Collom Gulch along the west side of the <br />stream at the base of a steep slope at 6,760 ft (2,060 m) in elevation (Figure 6.208). No soil or <br />vegetation information is provided on the original form or in the report. <br />• <br />Features 1 and 2 were dugouts located at the base of the steep slope. Feature 1 was 9 ft 6 inches <br />north/south x l l ft 6 inches east/west and excavated into the hillside about 5 ft below the present <br />ground surface. Feature 2 measured roughly 6 ft east/west x 6 ft north/south and was about <br />19 1/2 inches below the ground surface. Both features were lined with dry -laid sandstone blocks, <br />and there were saw -cut wood beams and sheet metal from the roofs collapsed into both dugouts. A <br />low (22 -inch) single north/south- trending row of sandstone blocks formed the remains of a retaining <br />wall (Feature 3) that was 49 ft 6 inches long at the north end of the site. Wood planks (Feature 4) <br />lay between Feature 1 and the retaining wall. Barbed wire sheep wire fencing, fence posts, sheet <br />metal, window glass fragments, and two metal buckets lay scattered between the features. <br />47599 <br />TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />
