Lorenciro Canyon ,Nine Contour Cu/s CuGurol Resavices <br />portion of the site. However, the impact seems fairly minimal. There is no direct indication of <br />soil depth or presence of buried cultural remains. It is likely that there are shallowly buried <br />remains in the flat area on the east side of the site. Testing is recommended to determine if <br />buried cultural remains are present and to aid determination of eligibility for [he NRHP. The site <br />is considered a contributing resource for the proposed LCRHL. This site is an excellent <br />candidate for the district because of its high incidence of ground stone artifacts. Thus it can help <br />to inform on the intensity and means of processing plant resources, pinion and acorns, directly <br />applicable to the theme of the district. In addition, the lithic concentration may aid in identifying <br />less directly associated activities accompanying the procurement and processing of these <br />resources. <br />5LA9579 <br />This site is located on the west side of asouth-facing bench overlooking Little Jeff Canyon. The <br />site consists of 16 felsite flakes in an area l2 x 12.5 meters. The site probably represents a single <br />episode of lithic reduction. The site is considered not eligible for the NRHP. The site is also <br />considered anon-contributing element to the proposed LCRHL. The site is unlikely to yield <br />information important to our understanding of the prehistory of the area. It also does not reflect <br />activities that directly relate to the theme of the proposed district. <br />5LA9603 <br />This site is a small, dispersed surface scatter of felsite debitage and one felsite biface fragment <br />• on a small grassy bench overlooking Little Jeff Canyon to the west. Most of the debitage is a <br />pale gray felsite that appears to be typical of locally occurring intrusive, but a few pieces are a <br />darker intermediate or basaltic intrusive. No cultural features or discrete activity areas were <br />identified. The site is considered not eligible for the NRHP. The site is unlikely to yield <br />information important to our understanding of the prehistory of the area. It also doe not reflect <br />activities that directly relate to the theme of the proposed LCRHL. <br />Isolated Finds <br />5LA 9560 <br />An isolated find found on a steep north-facing slope overlooking the Purgatoire River valley. <br />The find is a basalt, corner-notched, projectile point. The tip is missing and end of both tangs. It <br />measures 40 mm long, 31 mm wide at the tangs, and 18 mm wide at the base. It dates to the Late <br />Archaic to Late Prehistoric, Ceramic Stage (ca. 3000-500 B.P.). Isolated finds are considered not <br />eligible for the NRHP. <br /> <br />Corunnr('nhC'ulRe~-RPT(J~S1Revl/Apri/.'~', 100/ I3 <br />
