Class IIIlnventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project 107 <br />0 context suggests that the site has little or no potential to contain intact significant subsurface cultural <br />deposits. Recordation has exhausted the research potential of the site. <br />The site occurs within the mine permit boundary, but it is not eligible for the NRHP. Therefore, the <br />project will have no effect. Cultural resource clearance is recommended, with no further work. <br />6.1.24 Site 5MF6082 (A -33) <br />Site Tyne Prehistoric lithic scatter <br />Legal Location Section 20, T4N, R93W <br />Landowner Private <br />Site Dimensions 100 x 80 m <br />Site Descriptio Site 5MF6082 is a diffuse prehistoric lithic scatter located on a northeast - trending <br />ridge spur at 7,050 ft (2,149 m) (Figure 6.51). The spur is situated between the mouth of Jubb Creek <br />to the east and an unnamed north- trending drainage to the west. Axial Basin is located to the north <br />(Figure 6.52). On -site sediment consists of a shallow veneer of sandy loam with eroding gravel and <br />bedrock detritus. Exposures of bedrock occur infrequently in the general area. The sparse vegetation <br />community consists of scattered junipers, sagebrush, rabbitbrush, low grasses and various forbs. <br />Impacts to the site include erosion and livestock trampling. <br />The diffuse lithic scatter consists of one projectile point, three final biface fragments, one flake tool, <br />and 48 flakes. The projectile point consists of the reworked proximal /medial portion of a <br />Mallory -like specimen (Figure 6.53). The artifact measures 25 x 26 x 3 mm and is made of mottled <br />opaque chert. The distal edge appears to be a bifacially worked transverse fracture just above the <br />notches. The hafting element has a neck width of 18 mm and is 14 mm long. The base has a deep <br />central notch. The specimen is biconvex in cross section and exhibits random flaking. The three <br />final bifaces appear to be fragments of manufacturing stages. The first specimen consists of a notch <br />fragment from an indeterminate corner- notched point specimen. It measures 19P x 16P x 3 mm and <br />47599 TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />Eii <br />
