The mouth of Collom Gulch is <br />approximately 0.5 mi (0.8 km) to the south. The general area is characterized as rolling terrain with <br />numerous drainages. On -site sediment consists of shallow sandy silt overlying residual clay with <br />a large volume of gravel and eroding bedrock detritus. The vegetation community consists of <br />scattered juniper trees, sparse sagebrush, tabbitbrush, cheatgrass, low bunchgrasses, and forbs. <br />Impacts to the site include a two -track road through the site along the ridge spine, erosion, and <br />livestock trampling. <br />The open camp consists of one hearth (Feature 1), one projectile point, two flake tools, one core, and <br />131 flakes. Feature 1 is a poorly preserved hearth consisting of charcoal- stained sediment and <br />approximately 100 heat - altered rock fragments (Figure 6.123). Overall, the feature measures 57 x <br />62 cm with little depth to the staining. The heat - altered rock is all readily available tabular <br />sandstone. The majority of the fragments are less that 3 cm in size, with a few fragments ranging <br />0 <br />• Figure 6.122 Overview of Site 5MF6I09, Looking Fast (Taken by Dave Byers, 8/9/05). <br />47599 TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />
