Document Description
This project is a Master's Thesis research project that will recover data from a known archaeological site. The site is located in Blair Valley, and is known as the Kiln Site. The site was recorded in 2003, and was found to have numerous bedrock milling features, a rockshelter, roasting pits, a rock circle, a concentration of pottery shards of many types, and a general scatter of stone artifacts. There is concern by State Parks archaeologists that visitors could impact the site. Three 50cm x 100cm trenches will be excavated to attempt to answer questions about the function of the site and the rockshelter, and the chronological placement of its use. All trenches will be refilled after data collection. The project will be overseen by State Parks archaeologist.
