• <br />110 Class III Inventory, Colowyo`s Collom Mine Project <br />is made of opaque chert. The second specimen consists of a medial portion that measures 20P x <br />12P x 4 mm and is made of mottled opaque chert. The third specimen is a medial /lateral portion that <br />measures 18P x 14P x 4 mm and is made of mottled opaque chert. The flake tool is a utilized piece <br />of dendritic chert shatter that measures 4.3P x 4.01? x 1.0 cm and exhibits light usewear along the <br />distal margin. <br />The debitage assemblage consists of 48 flakes, 45 of which are tertiary flakes, with two pieces of <br />shatter and one secondary flake. Various opaque cherts are the most common material type with <br />26 flakes (24 tertiary flakes, one secondary flake, and one piece of shatter). The remainder of the <br />assemblage consists of 13 mottled opaque chert tertiary flakes, five semitranslucent chert tertiary <br />flakes, three quartzite flakes (two tertiary flakes and one piece of shatter), and one white opaque <br />chert tertiary flake. <br />The site was not tested because the sediment context consisted of a shallow discontinuous veneer <br />of silty sand with gravel and bedrock detritus overlying bedrock. <br />NRHP Eligibility Recommendation and Project Effect Site 5MF6082 is recommended as not <br />eligible for listing on the NRHP when evaluated under Criterion D. The site consists of a diffuse <br />artifact scatter with no dateable cultural features and an assemblage comprised of a limited density <br />and diversity of artifacts. The shallow context of the sediment strongly suggests that the site has <br />little or no potential to contain intact significant subsurface cultural deposits. Recordation has <br />exhausted the research potential of the site. <br />The site is located within the mine permit boundary. However, because the site is recommended as <br />not eligible for listing on the NRHP, the current project will have no effect. Cultural. resource <br />clearance is recommended, with no further work stipulated. <br />47599 TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />M1 <br />
