Summary

AR-03-03-05-267 (LA 81720) is mostly a poorly preserved late prehistoric lithic and ceramic artifact scatter located on a low ridge near the outlets of Madera, Lurance and Sol se Mete Canyons located in the headwaters of Arroyo del Coyote that drain the west side of the Manzanita Mountains. the site does appear to retain integrity in the location of Area A where we defined the location of an Early Archaic and possible Paleoindian component. For this reason, we believe additional testing may prove that intact deposits are indeed present and therefore make this portion of the site tentatively eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
