This report describes the results of testing at LA 38136, a multi-component site that includes a Folsom artifact scatter, a Late Developmental-Coalition Period artifact scatter, and a series of small stone structures that date to the early historic Period. To determine whether the site warranted protection and potentially stabilization, we placed seven 1 x 1 m excavation units at the site’s three loci. Testing of the site led to three primary discoveries. First, the Folsom component is only...
