Artifact totals from evaluation shovel tests were entered into mapping software to generate this artifact distribution map of the site. Just as a topographic map represents steepness of slope, contour lines here indicate two clusters of artifacts labeled Concentrations A and B. Artifact distribution and other information from shovel tests guided the placement of larger rectangular excavations called test units (labeled “TU”).
