Notes

General Note: "Visual inspection of all exposed ground surfaces in the project area was conducted, however no artifacts were discovered. One 100 foot wide transect was walked across the project area. Shovel tests typically were excavated at intervals of 100 feet along the transect, generally until sterile subsoil was reached (Figure 4). The maximum shovel test depth was 1.25 feet. All soil was screened through 1/4-inch hardware cloth. No artifacts were recovered."
