l� <br />332 Class III Inventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project <br />6.2.18 Site 5MF1653 <br />Site Tyne Lithic scatter <br />Legal Location Section 16, T4N, R93W <br />Landowner Private <br />Site Dimensions 27 x 11 in <br />Site Description Site 5MF1653 lies within the northeast portion of the current Colowyo Collom <br />Mine project. It was recorded in 1983 by TRC Mariah for the Danforth Hills/Utah International <br />project. However, it could not be relocated because the artifacts at the site were collected during the <br />initial inventory. The Colorado OAHP database listed the site as not eligible -field evaluation. As <br />recorded, the site consisted of a small lithic scatter located on top of an interfluvial ridge at an <br />elevation of 6,580 ft (2,006 m). Two shovel tests revealed a very fine tan sandy loam about 10 cm <br />deep overlying well - compacted yellow -brown sandy clay with fragments of weathered sandstone. <br />Some quartzite lag cobbles were noted on the surface. Vegetation consisted of sagebrush with mixed <br />grasses, prickly pear cactus, and lupine. The site lies 0.25 mi (0.40 km) west of and above the West <br />Fork of Jubb Creek, and the general area is defined by deeply incised drainages among broad <br />northeast - trending interfluvial ridges overlooking Axial Basin to the north. The lithic scatter <br />consisted of nine flakes, and all were collected during the initial inventory. <br />NRHP Eligibility Recommendation and Project Effect Site 5MF1653 was originally <br />recommended as not eligible for the NRHP, and the Colorado OAHP database listed the site as not <br />eligible per field evaluation. The site was recommended as not eligible for the NRHP based on the <br />lack of depositional potential and the artifacts recovered. The current inventory evaluation concurs <br />that the site is not eligible for the NRHP. It is no longer extant, having been collected at the time <br />of recording. <br />47599 TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />
