4.1.3 CA-SJO- (see Site Record, Appendix 2.3) <br /> This site, originally recorded by Ananian and Rice (1991), was relocated and rerecorded. It <br /> consisted of a sparse scattering of shell within a rather sterile-appearing soil. No artifacts were <br /> observed during this recording effort, however, Ananian and Rice noted baked clay fragments <br /> in 1991. One prominent large oval depression was present. This depression may be associated <br /> with a semisubterranean structure such as an assembly/dance house, ethnographically observed <br /> among the N iwok. <br /> 4.1.4 CA-SJO- (see Site Record, Appendix 2.4) <br /> This site, originally recorded by Ananian and Rice (1991), was relocated and rerecorded. It <br /> consisted of a midden soil containing shell and bone fragments as well as obsidian and chert <br /> flakes. Two large depressions and several smaller ones were also present. These depressions <br /> -may be associated with semisubterranean structures such as assembly/dance houses and earth <br /> lodges, ethnographically observed among the NEwok. <br /> 4.1.5 CA-SJO-- (see Site Record, Appendix 2.5) <br /> This site, originally recorded by Rice (1992), was relocated and rerecorded. It consisted of a <br /> midden soil containing shell and bone fragments, and debitage. Several small but fairly deep <br /> (� 1 m) depressions were present. These depressions may be associated with semisubterranean <br /> structures such as sweathouses, ethnographically observed among the Miwok. <br /> 4.1.6 (see Site Record, Appendix 2.6) <br /> This newly recorded site was visited by CSUS students in the spring of 1971. During their visit, <br /> they collected 14 baked clay fragments, 1 obsidian flake, and a thermally fracture stream cobble <br /> fragment. Their notes mention two prominent housepits (Beck 1971). During the present <br /> recording effort, this site was found to consist of a midden soil containing shell and bone <br /> fragments, and debitage. Three large depressions were noted. A few smaller and shallower <br /> depressions were also observed. These depressions may represent semisubterranean structures <br /> such as assembly/dance houses, sweat houses, and earth lodges ethnographically observed among <br /> the N iwok. <br /> 23 <br />
