Testing of the Celina Shelter (12-Pe-1023) revealed that the site has been partially buried by a colluvial fan.

The maximum depth reached was 1.75 m and excavations were stopped by a massive layer of breakdown. An attempt to break through the breakdown was stopped by the size of the sandstone blocks that were present. The majority of the artifacts were...
