• and site description must be corrected (Jan. 1980 report), e.g. <br />5RT139 and 5RT145. All site forms and descriptions should be <br />checked for agreement. <br />--Site maps. If testing was conducted, show the locations of <br />test pits. Adequate for all except Jan. 1980 - Inadequate: <br />No site boundaries (the site dimensions are known but where these <br />are located on the earth's surface is not); unlabeled contours, <br />no datum or legend - contours on site map conflict with <br />topography, for example, compare site maps and topography of <br />sites 5RT139, 5RT142, 5RT145, 5RT146, and SRT147. <br />The following points have been corrected and the amended <br />site forms and maps are enclosed. Please note, site maps <br />reflect topography in greater detail than USGS 7.5' quads. <br />--There should have been a discussion of the presence of unknown <br />sites in the Jan. 1980 report and the statement "intuitive <br />assessment of site probability" should have been explained. <br />The statement, "intuitive site probability" is intended to <br />mean that because of professional experience certain areas <br />are felt to be more likely to contain buried and surface <br />cultural materiel than other areas. These areas include <br />• flood plains, terraces, and level areas near water where <br />the surface is usually hidden underneath dense vegetation. <br />The presence of unknown sites or buried sites was <br />considered on the survey by thoroughly checking arroyo <br />cuts, rodent backdirt and ant hills. However, we are <br />aware that the possibility of unexposed sites does exist <br />within the study area. <br />--The presence of a Paleo-Indian point 30 cm below the surface at <br />SRT142 may be significant and should be investigated. <br />The Paleo point referred to was found on the surface - <br />"The Paleo point was located on the surface adjacent to <br />test unit III" (Hand 1980: pp. 61). <br />C ~ <br />J <br />
