Class III Inventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project 115 <br />NRHP Eligibility Recommendation and Project Effect Site 5MF6083 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 that is limited density and diversity. No dateable cultural features are present, and the <br />residual sediment has no potential to contain intact significant subsurface cultural deposits. <br />Recordation has 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 />6.1.26 Site 5MF6084 (A -32) <br />Site Typ e : Prehistoric lithic scatter <br />Legal Locatio Section 20, T4N, R93W <br />Landowner Private <br />Site Dimensions 27 x 20 in <br />Site Description Site 5MF6084 is a small prehistoric lithic scatter located at 7,060 ft (2,152 m). <br />It is situated on the upper margin of a northeast - trending ridge overlooking Jubb Creek to the east <br />(Figure 6.58). The confluence of the East and West Forks of Jubb Creek is located approximately <br />0.5 mi (0.8 km;) to the south (Figure 6.59). On -site sediment consists of residual sandy clay with a <br />large volume of gravel and eroding bedrock detritus. Exposures of bedrock occur throughout the <br />general area and in parts ofthe site proper. The vegetation community consists of scattered junipers, <br />sagebrush, low grasses, and few forbs. Impacts to the site include vehicle traffic along a two -track <br />road that passes through the eastern part of the site, erosion, and livestock trampling. <br />The lithic scatter consists of one flake tool and 20 flakes. The flake tool is a complete opaque chert <br />tertiary flake that measures 3.6 x 2.0 x 0.6 cm. The distal end has been fashioned into an apparent <br />graver /awl and exhibits light usewear. The debitage assemblage consists of 20 flakes, 19 of which <br />47599 TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />
