Abstract
Additional excavation carried out at Modoc Rock Shelter used more refined techniques to re-analyze the stratigraphy and collect additional floral and faunal remains, artifacts, and additional radiocarbon dates. This article summarizes the results of the earlier and later excavations and analyses. Occupation at the rockshelter was most intensive during the Early and Middle Archaic, so work at the rockshelter can answer questions on changing adaptaions during the Archaic period.
