Class IIIInventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project 209 <br />MF6109 -1 <br />0 t 2 3cm <br />Figure 6.124 Projectile Point (Specimen MF6109 -1), Actual Size, Site 5MF6109. <br />The debitage assemblage consisted of 131 flakes comprised of 124 tertiary flakes, six secondary <br />flakes, and one primary flake. White opaque chert is the most common material type with 106 flakes <br />(101 tertiary and five secondary flakes). The remainder consists of 24 opaque chert flakes <br />(22 tertiary flakes, one secondary flake and one primary flake), and one quartzite tertiary flake. <br />Testing Results Three shovel tests were excavated at the site with negative results. The sediment <br />matrix noted in the shovel tests consisted of unconsolidated sandy silt to a depth of 8 cm and 5 cm <br />below ground surface in Shovel Tests 1 and 2, respectively, with no comparable surface strata in <br />Shovel Test 3 (which had a clay loam layer to 5 em below ground surface). Residual clay was <br />encountered in all three shovel tests beneath their surface layer. <br />NRHP Eligibility Recommendation and Project Effect Site 5MF6109 is recommended as not <br />eligible for listing on the NRHP when evaluated under Criterion D. The site is a surface <br />manifestation with a limited density and diversity of artifacts. The effects of erosion have heavily <br />impacted the integrity of the cultural deposits. The sediment context suggests that the site has no <br />potential to contain intact significant subsurface cultural deposits. Recordation has exhausted the <br />research potential of the site. <br />47599 TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />
