ST5 fill was sifted through 1/8" screen with the following results: 31 flakes (including <br />18 that are categorized as microflakes) at the 1- l Ocm level (FSs 199 and 210), 20 flakes and a <br />mano fragment at the 10-20cm level (FSs 198, 215, and 216), and an additional 4 flakes from a <br />mixed 10-40cm "wall clean-up" level (FSs 206 and 207). <br />Shovel Test 6 (at 1N3W). This 40cm x 40cm test was conducted to enlarge Auger Test <br />46, in which a 2 metate fragments were found at 10-14cm (FS 176) along with a fragment of <br />charcoal, heavily oxidized sandstone, and a fragment of dark gray ("burnt") sandstone. The fill <br />was cleared to a depth of 25cm; however, no additional fragments of the metate or any other <br />cultural materials of note were found. <br />9.3 Test Trenches <br />Three test trenches were established on the site for the purpose of a) determining the <br />horizontal extent of the cultural deposits; b) establishing the location of loci of artifacts, <br />features, and activity areas if any; and c) obtaining a trans -site profile exposure of the <br />subsurface deposits. These trenches were set up along established gridlines (Figure 2) and <br />were constructed at only 25cm in width in order <br />to stay within the established parameters of the <br />scope of work. <br />Test Trench 1 was laid out to measure <br />30m in length, extending north from Datum <br />along the 0 -East line and terminating at 30NOE <br />(Plate 4). For provenience control TTI was <br />divided into six 5m -long segments (A -F), and <br />each of these segments into 1 m -long test units <br />(each measuring lm x 25cm), labeled A-1, A-2, <br />and so forth up to F-5. Due to the lack of <br />integrity noted in the sub -surface deposits and <br />limitations of the scope of work for test <br />excavation, only the following units were <br />excavated: B-1, B-3 through D-2, E-1, and E-3 - <br />to the west of the 0 -East grid line. All <br />excavation was conducted in arbitrary 10cm level <br />and the removed fill was screened through 1/4" <br />mesh hardware cloth. <br />17 <br />Plate 4.
