• type strongly similar to that utilized in the manufacture of <br />the two discernible Scottsbluff Type II projectiles. Since the <br />resemblance of this tool fragment is suggestive of Scottsbluff <br />and the soils in which it was encrusted appears to be the <br />very dark gray color which lies in contact with the general <br />black soil denoted in feature S, it is assumed that this obvious <br />cultural phenomena is directly linked to the Paleo-Indian Complex <br />Period. <br />Trenches 4, 5, and 6 were cut in an effort to expand <br />and readily define the cultural deposits within the area. All <br />trenches exhibited essentially the same soils, with the exception <br />of the black feature fill. Trench 4 was situated south of and <br />perpendicular to the general east/west orientation of Trench 1. <br />• This trench, with the exception of a possible feature in the <br />west end of Trench 3, was the only trench to exhibit cultural <br />features, two on either ends of the excavation. Artifactual <br />material was also observed eroding from the fill piles, no <br />diagnostics were observed. <br />Trench 5 was located approximately 20 meters north of <br />Trench 1 adjacent to a sandstone bedrock outcrop; however, only <br />occasional debitage lithic material was noted. Test 6 was <br />north and east of Trench 1 by 30 meters. It was placed in this <br />area due to the erosion of cultural material from a road cut. <br /> The trench did not produce any apparent cultural material. <br /> Trench 9 was located further to the west, in a close <br />• proximity to the spring (Flap 2).
