Fill from the west half of a hearth in a Ute wickiup at the Rifle Wickiup Village, site 5GF308, was floated to recover charred macrofloral remains that would indicate plant resources processed in the hearth. A wood fragment believed to represent a fuel source also was submitted for identification. Site 5GF308 is located northeast of Rifle, Colorado. This site is reported to contain more than 60 structures, most of which are the remains of Ute wickiups.
