Context
Cultural layer in cross backhoe trench, 45-50 cm bs. The trenching is from 2004 when the REX pipeline centerline was trenched by Alpine to determine if the site extended out from the original pipeline trench excavated in 1992. Thought to show utilization during the Transitional period of the Archaic. Later excavations revealed this to be a natural paleosol referred to as the Spring Creek Paleosol; cultural materials recovered from the site primarily coincide with this paleosol. Thus, given a credibility of none since the date appears to be on a natural phenomenon.
