Significance: This site is considered to be potentially eligible to the NRHP. Shovel <br />testing indicated that a partially intact artifact deposit is present, and the foundation <br />contains cut log structural remains. <br />Recommendation: Due to the snow cover at the time of the Phase I suia'cv, the site <br />inspection is considered to be inadequate to determine the archeological significance <br />of the site. Additional archeological work and historic research are recommended for <br />this site. <br />Location 514-2 <br />Type: Historic depression and associated material scatter <br />Area: 10m x 10 m <br />Legal Location: NEW. NWW. SEW of Section 26, T118N, R23W (Figure 1) <br />Landform: Upland bench <br />Elevation: 980 ft. NGVD <br />Vegetation: Mixed forest <br />Geomorphology: Narrow upland bench overlooking a wetland. No subsurface <br />archeological deposits were noted. <br />Present Investigation: The depression and associated historic material scatter were <br />obser\^ed during the pedestrian sur\'ey. Shovel tests were excavated around the <br />depression at five meter interv’als; these tests produced no artifacts. A local resident, <br />Steve Peterson, was interviewed and reported that this property was a dump used <br />occasionally by the Underhill Farm be^'een the early part of this century to the 1960 j ). <br />Archeological Data: The artifacts appear to be limited to a surface scatter. Shovel <br />testing in and around the depression indicated that any structure that may have been <br />associated with the depression has been removed. The artifacts observ’ed include white <br />ware fragments, green and clear bottle glass, and an assortment of food cans, a <br />stovetop coffee pot, and several buckets and tubs. No artifact collection was made. <br />Interpretations: The property is presumed to be the location of an outbuilding <br />associated with the Underhill Farm. After this building was tom down, the remaining <br />depression was then used for trash disposal. <br />Significance: Because of the lack of intact archeological deposits greater than 50 years <br />old, OS A has declined to issue a site number for this property. <br />Recommendation: No further work. <br />I <br />I <br />1 <br />] <br />] <br />] <br />I <br />I <br />1 <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />J <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I
