5 Artifacts were bagged by level and according to major class such as points, debitage, bone, etc. and returned to the lab for washing and cataloguing. Only artifacts from excavated units were collected. These will be curated at the University of Colorado Museum. Results Initial surface reconnaissance essentially replicated the WCRM survey results. Cultural materials occur in three areas labelled Loci A. B and C (Figure 2). Locus A covers a low interfluvial ridge and a low knoll just down slope of a stock pond. Most of the area has been disturbed, either from stock pond construction or by slope wash. Undisturbed deposits occur on the knoll and in a small pocket between a bladed area and the deep arroyo which bisects the site. Cultural material observed here included a mano and about ten flakes on the margins of the undisturbed ground, most of them in an area covered by low shrubs. Locus H covers a large and completely eroded toe slope to the west of the knoll, and, judging from the quantity of material on the western slope of the knoll, much of the material found in Locus B may derive from erosion of the knoll. WCRM found a mano and a projectile point tip in addition to about 30 flakes. A fragment of the mano was relocated, along with flakes, but the projectile point was not. No testing occurred in Locus B due to its totally eroded nature. Locus C is separated from Loci A and B by deeply incised erosional' channels below the stock pond. It occupies a narrow, sloping bench bordered on the south by an aspen-covered hill slope. Although surface artifacts are low in numbers and the cut bank is devoid of indications of buried materials, the locus was tested. Strati~;raphy The stratigraphic sequence on the site is essentially similar in all loci. Surface soils, varying from about 15 to 50 cm in thickness, consist of a medium- to dark-brown clay loam with a few pebble-sized rocky inclusions. Underlying the surface soils is a massive yellow-brown clay believed to derive from the Pierre shale. In some units, those where burrowing is evident, there is a mottled transition zone (Figure 3), but the topsoil appears to rest disconformally on a much older surface. A level date-from this contact is about 1600 BP (see below.) Locus A Twelve shovel probes were dug in Locus A. Of these, five of six probes were positive, including flakes and several pieces of oxidized sandstone. The six probes on the low knoll were sterile. Maximum depth of the positive probes was 40 curbs. To further assess the potential of the shrubby locality, two test units were excavated, each lm x lm square. Test Pit 1 was placed over Positive Probe ST-23. This unit was 30 cm deep, terminating in the massive yellow-brown clay
