• <br />Class III Inventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project 127 <br />The site occurs within the mine permit boundary, but it is not eligible for the NRHP, and the project <br />will have no effect. Cultural resource clearance is recommended, with no further work. <br />6.1.30 Site 5MF6088 (NF -17) <br />Site Tyne Lit:hic scatter <br />Legal Location Section 13, T4N, R94W <br />Landowner Private <br />Site Dimensio 173 x 143 m <br />Site Descriptio Site 5MF6088 is a large lithic scatter (Figure 6.67). It is located on an east - facing <br />lower slope near the north end of a northeast- trending ridge overlooking the confluence of Collom <br />and Little Collom Gulches to the east. The site lies at 6,600 ft (2,012 m) and is mainly concentrated <br />in a saddle between a low knoll and a northwest/southeast - trending bedrock ridge (Figure 6.68). <br />A broad drainage basin is located to the north. On -site sediment consists of a thin mantle of <br />fine- grained silty sand intermixed with coarse sandstone gravel and eroding bedrock detritus. The <br />vegetation community consists of sagebrush, rabbitbrush, cheatgrass, low grasses, various forbs, and <br />prickly pear cactus. Scattered juniper trees are present in proximity to the exposed bedrock ridge <br />along the south end of the site. Impacts to the site include erosion, grazing, and pilfering. <br />The artifact assemblage consists of one incomplete projectile point (collected), five bifaces, one drill, <br />four flake tools, two cores, and 128 flakes. The incomplete projectile point is a medial portion of <br />a lanceolate final biface that compares favorably with Eden types (Figure 6.69). The extant portion <br />measures 34P x 13 x 5 rnm and is made of clear semitranslucent chert. The blade margins exhibit <br />a slight taper suggesting the fragment is from the distal portion of the blade. The fragment is <br />biconvex in cross section and exhibits finely executed parallel flaking. <br />47599 <br />TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />
