Abstract
Initial investigations, consisting of a reconnaissance level study, were conducted in 1994 (Adams and Trinkley 1994:31), but 38CH2244 was not identified until the intensive survey in 2008 (Trinkley et al. 2008:153-155). The site was reported as a prehistoric scatter with eighteenth to twentieth century remains in an area measuring about 250 feet north-south by 500 feet east-west (Figure 1).
A total of 85 shovel tests were excavated at 50-foot intervals with 28 producing artifacts (33%). All of the artifacts were identified in the plowzone, which was about a foot in depth. Some tests were taken to 2.7 feet below surface with no results.
