Archaeological Test Sampling of Sites within the La Quinta Flood Control Channel Easement,

Abstract

Previous archaeological survey of the project alignment (Berryman 1977) had resulted in the discovery and recording of six archaeological sites, ranging from small concentrations of sherds to extensive scatters of cultural materials. For this project, a brief field reconnaissance of the project areas was performed in order to relocate previously recorded sites and to account for all cultural resources in the area. A test sampling program was designed and performed in order to provide detailed descriptions of sites to be impacted, in terms of areal extent, depth of deposits, archaeological complexity and significance.
