- EdQx-15, Monte Creek: Seven dates place aboriginal occupation of the site around 1900 to 200 years ago. Three archaeological units are represented at the site, only two of which pertain to native occupation. The earliest Thompson-phase component dates from 1400 to 200 BP. During the Historic period (post-1825), the site was primarily as pasteurage for cattle by Euro-American ranchers.
