INTRODUCTION
Mr Richard Roper of Roper Associates contracted with the
Archaeological. Research Program of California Stato University,
Chico (CSUC) to conduct an archaeological: reconnais;-41nce of the
proposed parcel division of property belonging to Mr. George
Chaffin (T18N, R4E, Section 18 and 7, USES Palermo, California
7.5' Series Quad). The purposes of this investigation were to
identify all cultural resources that might lie within the area of
potential environmental impact (APEI), evaluate their
significance in relation to eligibility criteria for Inclusion in
the National 'Register of Historic Places (NRi-I'P), anticipate
potential impacts to these resources, and make r000mmendation's
for the mitigation of potential impacts. The following report
details the results and procedures of the reconnaissance. The
author and archaeologist Daniel McGann completed an on -foot
survey of the project area on June 9-11, 1988. One archaeological
site was discovered and formally recorded.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The property owned. by Mr. George Chaffin is located on Lone Tree
Road, in southern Butte County near the town of Palermo and
4onsist6 of 297 acres (see Map 1. Project Location).Parcel 1 is
the northernmost sof the two and consists of an east -west lying
rectangular shaped, 76.92 E: -res. it is situated in the southern
portion of Section 7 and northern portion of Section 18. Pardo! '2
consists of the remaining 220 acres and is a large north -south
trending rectangular shaped parcel situated entirely within
Section 18.
Native vegetation within the project, area has been greatly
altered as a result of past agricultural practices. Currently it
consists of overgrown olive orchards; which way date from the
latter half of the 19th century or early 20th century. Dense
blackberry thickets, annual grasses and (orbs in addition to
those grasses and plants typically found along marshland habitats
also exist within the project area. Vegetation in past times
wouldhave been characterized by oak -grasslands and riparian
habitats which were typically associated with the foothill.
environs. The elevation of the project area fangos from 124 feet
to 162 feet above mean sea level and the topography can be
described as a north -south brending 'ridge roughly bordered along
the south and east by Wyman Ravine. While Parcel. 1 remains
Undeveloped, a domestic 'home and associated outbuildings
currently exists on Parcel 2; There also exis within the
project area two dry reservoirs as well as a 16 acre reservoir
which diad contain water at the time of the survey: Soils
throughout the project area consisted of pale orange brown clay
loamy along the ridgetops, and darker, brown loams within the
marshy areas.

for the severly limited visibility, the orchard areas within
Parcel 2 were traversed in meandering transects of 50 meter
widths to exclude the presence of any major featur()ri. Wherever+
possible subsurface exposures caused by road czu I.ri cut-banit
erosion and rodent burrows were examined for eviderloe of buried
cultural deposits.
RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A single archaeological site was found in the southeast corner of
Parcel. 1. Its location is plotted on Map 2, and the site has been
assigned the state trinomial CA -BUT -»1062-H. The stbe consists of
a small historic trash scatter c-ontaining whole medicinal
bottles, hole--in-cap cans; metal, ceramic and glass .fragments, in
addition to other miscellaneous refuse scattered about s low
lying swale. The site has been formally recorded and the site
record form is appended to this report.
Based upon the variety of artifacts observed, it appears that the
site may date from the mid 1' to late 1930's. The various
bottles, cans and glass fragm Bund suggest that historic
occupation and agriculture tices occurredwithin the.
immediate area; however ev we of associated historic
structures, foundations or featu.es were not observed.
It is not possible to determine the site's significance and its
eligibility for inclusion into the National Register of Historic
Places since a buried cultural deposit, although unlikely, might
exist. While the current plans for this parcel division will not
rest+' t in any negative impact to CA -BUT -1062-H; future ground
dist,-bing activities of the site area which frequently occur as
a result of eventual development might directly impact the site's
integrity; Therefore, it is recommended that the area in which`
CA -BUT: -1062-H is located be protected from any future ground
disturbance or development which might occur through complete
avoidance. Additionally, it is suggested that a note be placed on
the final parcel map excluding this area from any future
development in the event of property resell. If complete
avoidance of the,archaeological site is not possible, then
additional testing should be conducted to determine if a
subsurface component does indeed exist
The adoption of these recommendations should alleviate the impact
of the parcel split and future development on the cultural
resources encountered during the archaeological survey. If the
recomMendations presented here are acceptable, then
archaeological clearance is granted for the Chaffin parcel
division. It is further recommende `". that if subsequent activities
within the parcel. areas reveal buried cultural material, a
qualified archaeologist should be contacted to evaluate the
nature and ,significance of the find.
