16 <br />• is 20-25 cm deep and is a red brown clayey loam with few gravels. Below this level clay grading <br />to bedrock. <br />Testing reveals that the cultural materials lie on or very close to the surface. However, the <br />site falls within the LCRHL and is recommended to be contributing to the significance of the district. <br />This site has ground stone and may reflect activities related to the procurement and initial processing <br />of pinon nut and acoms. The great number of flakes, diversity of artifacts, and the possible hearth <br />feature indicate that this may be a residential or base camp. However, because SLA7196 falls within <br />the P3 haul road corridor and had been recommended for cultural resource clearance prior to the <br />creation of the landscape (McKibbin 1997a), further field work is recommended only if it can be <br />accomplished without delaying the construction of the road (McKibbin 1997a:7). <br />SLA7199: This prehistoric site was recorded during inventory of the P3 haul road in 1996 <br />(McKibbin et al. 1997). The site was not evaluated with respect to National Register eligibility, but <br />the presence of some colluvial deposits on the site suggested there was some potential for additional <br />significant subsurface remains and testing was recommended. <br />In 1997, 15 shovel probes were excavated into the areas of the site with the best potential for <br />buried deposits. Probes reached depths between 20 and 44 curbs. Soils were varying colors of clay <br />and were terminated at bedrock. No cultural materials were recovered that would suggest the <br />presence of subsurface cultural deposits. However, the site falls within the LCRHL and is <br />• recommended to be contributing to the significance ofthe district. This site has 56 pieces ofground <br />stone including 20 manos and may reflect activities related to the procurement and initial processing <br />of pinon nut and acoms. However, because SLA7199 falls within the P3 haul road corridor and had <br />been recommended for cultural resource cleaaance prior to the creation of the landscape (McKibbin <br />1997a), further field work is recommended only if it can be accomplished without delaying the <br />construction of the road (McKibbin 1997a:7). <br />SLA7202: This prehistoric site was recorded in 1996 during inventory of the P3 haul road <br />(McKibbin et al. 1997). The site was not evaluated with respect to National Register eligibility, but <br />testing was recommended because of the potential for subsurface remains associated with the <br />slopewash deposits at the western end of the site. <br />During the 1997 field season, 27 shovel probes were excavated in areas of the site with <br />potential for buried cultural remains. Probes reached depths between eight and 65 curbs. Soils are <br />a clayey or sandy loam above a structured clay which lies above bedrock. This upper strata varies <br />from about two cm in depth to about 40 cm. Only one piece ofdebitage was recovered. However, <br />the site falls within the LCRHL and is recommended to be contributing to the significance of the <br />district.
