Setting Top of a large forested hill. Pine trees.
Site Description On the top of a large hill near KM 115 there were some scattered sherds. Top of the hill was leveled in modern time probably destroying ancient site. Only a few scattered sherds left. Site looks large on map but only the very top had occupation and the rest is a natural hill. Site not more than 50x50 meters, water storage house on top of hill. Pile of debris. The top of the mountain was, at one point leveled and it appears that when it was leveled, cultural debris was thrown down the slopes. That is why there are scattered sherds on the slopes. They then dug a water storage depot on the top of the hill. The dirt from the depo was pile up next to the storage house. This dirt also contained cultural debris. If this is so, then there was, at one time, quite a deep cultural deposit here that is now totally destroyed. Photo Roll 11, 34,35
