• <br />Test 2 (Figure 2') was terminated at a maximum depth <br />of .89 meters below surface. Its coloration varied from surface <br />darker grays to subsurface light grays with brownish tints. <br />Though no cultural material was located, charcoal was present. <br />The charcoal is abundant, occurring from 4-70 centimeters <br />below the surface. It is bound by a sandstone ground lens, <br />exhibiting some gravels with reddened coloration, possibly a <br />result of fire association. No determination of cultural <br />association has been noted. <br />Test 3 (Figure 3) was a l x l meter control grid <br />u <br />located upslope to the east, above an area disturbed by stock <br />tank construction. The disturbed area and associated erosional <br />irregularities produced what would probably have been subsurface <br />cultural material. Special reference is made to this locale <br />as one Scottsbluff II projectile fragment (Figure 5 ) was <br />located in the vicinity. <br />The test unit was excavated to bedrock, a maximum depth <br />• <br />of .50 meters below surface. Soil depositions are totally <br />of silt with a very dark gray coloration. Only two levels of <br />soil were noted here, a surface contact area containing dominant <br />amounts of root fiber and the subsurface soils differentiated <br />by the presence of occasional charcoal flecks and sandstone <br />gravels. Many of the gravels appear reddened as though having <br />been associated with fire. Cultural material is present, <br />though it was located in the mesh screen and not in situ. <br />The two artifacts, a utilized chert flake and a crimp style <br />LL <br />
