AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
An archaeological surface survey of the Kurupa Lake and Cascade Lake area was performed by Schoenberg and others. Among the sites found was KIR-124, a multi-component site. Artifacts on the surface of the site were systematically collected. The Late Tundra period at the site seems to translate into part of the Gates and Kurupa Phases. Artifacts dating to the Late Tundra period at the site consist of lithic debitage and tools. The site was presumably used as a hunting/lookout site, but may also have been used as some type of base camp as well. This hypothesis is based on the wide range of tool types found at the site and not due to any other type of remains.
