Summary

Sites CA-MEN-3638 and CA-MEN-3678 were recorded by Pacific Legacy as part of the Caltrans Willits Bypass Project and are located in Mendocino County, California. Site CA-MEN-3638 is a prehistoric cultural deposit situated on the northern cut-bank of Upp Creek in the western region of the Little Valley wetlands. A ground stone pestle (Sample 0256) recovered from Site CA-MEN-3638 was submitted to PaleoResearch Institute for pollen and starch analysis. Site CA-MEN-3678 is a prehistoric lithic scatter and habitation midden situated in the lacustrine basin of the Little Lake Valley in the Northern Coast Ranges (Lisa Shapiro, personal communication, December 19, 2018). A slate biface (Sample 0058) recovered from Site CA-MEN-3678 was submitted to PaleoResearch for protein residue analysis.
