Additional Archaeological Testing at Site AZ EE:9:91, Patagonia Lake State Park, Southern Arizona

Archaeological testing was conducted at site AZ EE:9:91 at Patagonia Lake State Park from 28 through 30 October 1981. This work, done under contract to Arizona State Parks under Arizona State Museum {ASM) permit 81-23, was to supplement similar investigation carried out by ASH personnel at AZ EE:9:91 on 8 and 9 June 1981. The testing crew consisted of Annick George, Carol McCarthy, James Mayberry, and Jon S. Czaplicki. Earlier testing involved backhoe excavation of four trenches to determine the nature of the site and the amount and degree of subsurface cultural material present. Faunal material was recovered that was later identified as either Bison bison (American buffalo or bison) or Bos taurus (domestic cow). No definite identification was possible, however,and additional testing, the results of which are reported herein, was recommended to State Parks.

Czaplicki）组成。 此前的勘探工作采用反铲挖掘机开挖4条探沟，以明确遗址性质及地下文化遗存的数量与分布程度。勘探中共出土动物遗存，经初步鉴定可归入美洲野牛（Bison bison，American buffalo or bison）或家牛（Bos taurus，domestic cow）两类，但无法给出确切鉴定结论。为此，团队向亚利桑那州立公园提议开展补充勘探，本报告即收录该补充勘探的相关成果。 洛珊·瑟纳汉（Roxanne Cernaghan）负责撰写本报告中石器组合（lithic assemblage）相关章节。
