Summary

CA-SHA-1991 (the Tanya Site) is located along Olney Creek in the Sacramento Valley of Shasta County, California. The local environment is primarily oak woodland interspersed with areas of manzanita chaparral. This site is believed to be a late prehistoric period occupation associated with the Wintu tribe. One liter of sediment was collected in 1996 and is associated with the floor of a large, circular dance or assembly house. This sample was sent to PaleoResearch Institute for flotation and macrofloral analysis of seeds and charcoal.
