Photo 5. Mechanized vegetation removal. <br />This strata suggested clear mixing of surface soil with glacial till material, indicating past disturbance <br />that was probably associated with logging, grubbing, stump removal, and bulldozing activities either <br />in 2005 or perhaps earlier. Testing on May 27`h and 28`' consisted of the excavation of seven <br />additional STPs (STPs 15-21) and four soil test pits (SPs 1-4), along the mechanically cleared path <br />west and north of the testing performed earlier in the month. The SPs revealed the same forest soil <br />' A horizon over a mixed and disturbed B horizon consisting of orange -brown sandy silt loam <br />containing charcoal bits, wood, and roots among typical glacially deposited rounded and subrounded <br />cobbles and gravels (Photos 6-11). The olive -to -gray glacial till was observed in all the STPs and SPs <br />at depth. No artifacts, features, or other cultural indicators were observed in the soil test pits, shovel <br />probes, walls, or backdirt. <br />Tierra Archaeological Report No. 2014-077 23 <br />
