• features on the site warranted their assignation to the same temporal <br />period, viz. the Paleo-Indian Cody Complex. <br />The subsurface revery of a single basal portion of a McKean lanceolate <br />point suggested a Middle Archaic McKean Complex association, dated from <br />5000 to 3000 B.P. (Frison, 1978). This artifact was located approximately <br />10 an below ground surface, a level substantially above the in situ <br />features assigned to the Paleo-Indian period and suggestive of more recent <br />utilization of the aroma. Although no features were found in direct <br />association with this McKean point, a secondary cultural affiliation was <br />felt to be viable. <br />Archaeological testing at site SAP139 suggested the possibility of multi- <br />ple occupations and a lengthy period of area utilization; the possible <br />presence of cultural manifestations (Cody Ca~lex) hitherto unrecognized <br />for this area or environmental situation was also re~gnized. Despite <br />• these accunplishments, the exact purpose of the occupation utilization of <br />the area had yet to be determined and extensive mitigative procedures <br />were clearly necessary before the site was destroyed. The remainder of <br />this paper discusses the results of mitigation operations at site SRC139. <br />LJ <br />19 <br />
