BUCKEYE RANCH ( 4-1-92 ) 14 <br /> � . Before any test excavations are performed an attempt should <br /> Cilli be made to avoid potentially significant cultural resources and <br /> Lplacing fill over some deposits should be considered since it has <br /> een applied elsewhere and worked well . <br /> 6 . Any consulting archaeologists hired to define the specific <br /> limits of the sites should have at least one individual on staff <br /> that has had considerable experience in conducting soil chemistry <br /> C116 analysis of archaeological sites . A qualified consultant could <br /> be hired to perform the required tests . This or another <br /> individual should also have considerable experience in using <br /> truck mounted augers to rapidly check depth and soil conditions <br /> on site . The qualifications of these individuals should be <br /> verified and references should be checked since there are many <br /> individuals who indicate they know something about soil chemistry <br /> but in fact have little or no practical experience . <br /> 7 . all postulated "house floors" ( house pits ) that are not on a <br /> site with excavatable deposit or within a few meters should be <br /> C117 tested with an auger or trowel to see if fire hearths , <br /> phosphates , carbonates or other materials are present to confirm <br /> that they are archaeological features and not a depression of <br /> unknown origin. <br /> S . The collections at the University of California , Berkeley and <br /> C118 the Tracy School district should be studied and analyzed before <br /> any additional archaeological excavations take place . The <br /> potential for collections from the Tracy Lake area in the <br /> possession of local landowners is also possible and should be <br /> considered . <br /> �9 Agreements concerning the disposition of any artifacts should <br /> C119 be established before any archaeological surface collection or <br /> Le.Ycavation occur . <br /> 10 . If the Buckeye Ranch Subdivision is allowed to proceed it <br /> would be desirable to have a walk through inspection of areas in <br /> C120which earth moving will occur by representatives of the Native <br /> American Community and archaeologists not affiliated with the <br /> project as a good will gesture to -void any problems in the <br /> future . <br /> J11-9 <br />
