The cultural resource inventory resulted in the <br />recording of three new isolated finds and inthe re-evaluation ofone site. Two additional sites were re- <br />evaluatedasaresultofvisitationto preparefortheupcomingNativeAmericanconsultationvisits. The <br />two sites visited in preparation forthe consultation were found to contain a scatter of lithic artifacts in <br />addition to the possibleeagletraps. These sites remain unevaluated as to theireligibility for the Register <br />until the consultation is completed. The other re-evaluated site is the previously recorded site, <br />SLA7194. This site was originally recorded as containing buried features evidenced in the cut bank of <br />Lorencito Canyon Creek. The recent survey revealed additional artifacts on the surface which <br />expanded the site boundary. These artifactsincludeddiagnosticartifacts;twoprojectilepointsandfour <br />ceramic sherds.

Each ofthe sites and isolated finds are described <br />below. <br />The testing was conducted at site SLA9562 and site SLA9570. Testing was completed by hand <br />• excavation using a shovel. The test pits were approximately 40 cm square and excavated to a sterile <br />layer. The fill was screened through'/<-inch mesh screen. Site SLA9562 had five test pits and one <br />profile; all indicated no buried cultural deposits. As a consequence, this site is recommended as not <br />eligible for the Register. Site5LA9570hadthreetestpitsexcavatedwithnegativeresults. No artifacts <br />were found and no indication of intact cultural deposits were encountered. This site is recommended as <br />not eligible for the Register. The testing of these sites is described in greater detail below. <br />Newly Recorded Isolated Finds <br />SLA9859 <br />This isolated find consists of two flakes and one piece of shatter.
