The Wishbone Site (42To6384) includes a buried flaked stone assemblage, accompanied by a hearth feature. A pooled mean of three radiocarbon dates (10,390 ± 21 BP) was obtained on willow charcoal. The site is situated on an open salt flat supporting sparse pickleweed/iodine bush (Allenrolfea occidentalis). Fourteen flaked lithics were submitted for protein residue analysis. Four sediment control samples were collected from the general site area and one location near an artifact.
