Seven 25 x 25cm shovel tests and one lm x 25cm test pit were established in order to <br />determine the nature and extent of possible cultural fill within the site (Figure 9). In search of <br />cultural materials, all excavated sediment from the shovel tests and test pit was sifted through <br />1/8 inch mesh rocker screens. The shovel tests were placed in and around Feature 1 in areas <br />that demonstrated depth of soil and potential for subsurface cultural fill based on pinflag tests. <br />Maximum depths of the tests ranged from 10 to 20cm. No evidence of subsurface cultural <br />manifestations was encountered. <br />The test pit was established east to west through Feature 2 (Figure 9, Plate 7). Trowels, <br />brushes, and whisk brooms were primarily used to excavate the test pit. Excavation proceeded <br />in arbitrary 5cm levels as measured from present ground surface at the test pit corner stake <br />highest in elevation. Final depth of excavation reached a maximum of 20cm below present <br />ground surface (Plate 8). The feature was found to contain charcoal, aluminum can and <br />aluminum foil fragments, and one .357 magnum shell casing. Discovery of these items led to <br />the determination that Feature 2 is a fire hearth of modern origin. <br />Soils are residual and consist of shallow, light brown, clay loam of an undetermined <br />depth — apparently less than 50cm based on the sandstone bedrock outcrops near the end of the <br />prominence. <br />Evaluative testing revealed that at least a portion of the site is of modern origin and <br />there is no potential for subsurface cultural manifestations, therefore, the site's potential to <br />yield any additional information important to the prehistory of the region has been exhausted. <br />Plate 6.
