<br />4 <br />CJ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />20 <br />Test Pit 8 was excavated through five levels, to 50 curbs. Artifacts were found on the surface <br />and in the top 30 cm of the test pit and include both historic and lithic component materials (Table <br />8). Interestingly, though surface lithic component tools and ceramics were most common in the <br />immediate vicinity of this test pit, none were recovered from excavation. No evidence of disturbance <br />from the historic era occupation is indicated, and rodent disturbance was minimal. <br />Table 8 Summary of results from Test Pit 8 (229N 178E) <br />Depth <br />(curbs) <br />EuroAmerican artifacts Aboriginal artifacts (may be <br />of EuroAmerican origin) <br />Comments <br />surface glass, wire debitage <br />0-10 bone, glass, misc. metal, <br />wire debitage <br />10-20 cartridge, glass, misc. <br />metal <br />20-30 debitage <br />30-40 .. .... :. no artifacts <br /> <br />40-50 ,... . <br />no.ar[ifacts :: <br />N Test Pit 9 L03N 188E) <br />' Test Pit 9 was excavated in Structure 1, the adobe ruin. It was placed near the center of the <br />southwestern end of the structure. The purpose of this test unit was to attempt to determine the <br />' nature of the roofing materials, recover artifacts that might hint at the structure's age, provide <br />information about the structure's construction or possible modification sequence, determine the <br />nature of the floor, and determine whether cultural materials could be found below the floor. <br />' Test Pit 9 was excavated to 100 curbs. The bottom of the test pit reached 25 to 30 cm into <br />subfloor sediments. As might be expected, this test pit truncated, in order top-to-bottom, recent <br />' sediment, wall fall, roofing material (corrugated metal), rafters, and floor planking, finally ending <br />up in subfloor sediment (Figure 8, Table 9). The roof was finished with corrugated metal sheeting, <br />' in some places several layers thick (Figure 9), laid on unfinished log rafters (Figure ] 0). The roof <br />was almost certainly pitched, with the ridge line running the length of the structure, or northeast to <br />southwest. The rafters run at right angles to this line, as do the corrugations on the sheet metal. No <br />' structural remnants of possible subroof planking or other longitudinal roof support was found, <br />though these materials might have burned away. <br />' The remains of the rafters lay directly of neazly directly on the remains of a plank floor <br />(Figure 11). The planking runs the length of the building. Floor joists were not found though there <br />. is evidence for their existence in the extant wall remnants.
