The va orit of the '' �. y property area lies to the east of Highway 70, With only a small, portion located to the west. More specifically, the project area inolude all or portions of Sections 9 and 160 To 21 fl., R. 4 r.- Cherokee Quadrangle, 7-5' series., U,. S E G. S . (see MsF 1) , f GEOGRAPRIOAL AND ENVIRONMA.NTAI, SETTING The project area is located within the .Foothill Region of the Western Sierra Nevada, to the nog.th of what oncc wa's the West Branch of the Feather River, which is now part of Lake Orov:lle The terrain of the area is characteritod, by gently rolling hills and low ridges with numerous ephemeral and intermittent drainages located throughout,'the property area. The vegetation of the area, consists primarily of a typical foothill woodland, with elements of riparian habitat along some of the drainages and pockets of yellow pine 'forest with chaparral; incursions. The density of the vegetational cover ranges from dense peaches, of chaparral to open oak- grassland areas.

Official. Butte County Maps dated 1877, 1886, 194.x` and 1913 were consulted in an attempt to identify Who may have built and lived in this structure. These maps identify property owner-, and show the area that they owned. The maps show that in 1.877 the site area was 'owned by David Smith, The 1886,01, and. 9�1 1 9 3 Mapsshowthat this property was owned by Julia Miller and her, brother W,d' Midler, who also owned the S2 of Section 9 and the NEI of Section 16.

This procedure was employed whenever possible on the mortars located within; Deer Peak take Estates. The procedta ^e listed below is slightly modified from the one proposed by Dills (J•975): Select bedrock mortars free of large cracks and having a total volume greater than a00 ml. for measurement. S ,. fl2 Remove all dirt` and debris from within the mortar. 3 Utilizing a graduated cylinder pour a known volume of water into the mortar and measure its depth at 'the center is mortal, th a centimeter l leas`tfourmeasuremen measurements be taken minimal requirement for mortar. ortar tari Measurements for this study were taken at the following volumes: 200 mit 4.00 ml, 600 ml,'$OQ ml, 1200 ml, 1600 ml 2000 mlr and 2400 mi. 4-) Record. the depths fo;r each volume until the water begins to spill over the edge of the mortar hole. Record the volume and dpth at this point as the-Iispil.l depth" and '"spill volume` 5) When all of the dates are 'obtained for all�of 'the mortars being recorded, calculate the mortar constant (,k-- value:) for each individual mortar.

Twenty of the mortars at CA,-BUT-741 were loos than, 8 cm. in depth, while only 'four of the mortars at CA-BUT-744 were p a9 less than 8 cm. in depth. The mortars at CA.-BUT-739 and CA-BUT-740 were unsuitable for measurement using Dills, procedure due to the fiseured nature of the bedrock they were 'worn into, but the depths of these mortars 'show 'some Additional variation in the types of mortars produced within°this area. only two of the mortars located at CA-BUT-739 are less than d cm. in depth, while the other four mortars range in 'deptli from 10.5 cm. to i7 Om. Three loci, of mortars were °found at CA-8Ui! Feature B consists of 14, mortars', all ;Less than, 8 cm. in depth, Feature C oonsists, of three mortars between 9 cm. and. 16 cm. in depth, and Feature D consists of = three mortars less than 8 cm. in depth and seven mortars ranging from 9 cmi to 21 cm. in depth. To try and, explain the variation between. the bedrock mortars From the citeslocated within Deer Peak Lake E'st'ates data from eight additional bedrock mortar sites ,s incorporated into this analysis ,for comparative purposos. This is no a, sufficient data base for developing any firm conclu,ions about the variation or distribution between types o3 bedrock mortars, but it should be adequate for generating some hypotheses -that can be tested in future s*rUes of bedrock mortar sites. Two basic assumptions are made in this analysis oi' bedrock mortars: ` 'i) All b drock mortars possessing a similar size and r shape, as noted by their depths andk-values, were involuted,' in the processing of food resources possessing similar pµoperties that required similav processing 'techniques,, The type pe of determine tsite bedrock the mortar is foimod in does y,,;� ', or shape of the bedrock mortar. Suppott for this assumption comes From the mortars located at 4 -MT� 584, where it was discovered that although the two 1001, o:` mortars at tho site were formed in identical bedrock. they differed significantly with regards to thoir depths and k-values (Manning 1978 k 10 ) -/ Three observations were glade concerning the bedrock mortars located at Deer Peak Lake Estates. Ir?,' an effort to confirm or disprove these observations ani the hypotheses 'they generated the comparative data f.-om the eight additional bedrock mortar sites is utili ed to ,test these; obse;rvat,ions`" end hypatYiesa: � �., Observation ,1. All of the mortars located at Feature B of ' CA -BUT -740 were less than 8 cm. In depth and located within a grassland area. This "occurren wa of shall bedrook mortars was felt, to be due to this ;hype. of Food resource being processed at the. site, whicL required the Ilse of only Shallow bedrock mortar holes Singe the mortars are located within a grassland area; it was postulated thatthe Food resource being processed at the site came f:(%)m the grassland., area. Hypothesis Generated - Bedrock mortar sitfs consisting solely of or having a high percentage of shallow bedrock mortars were, utilized for the processing, of food resources from grassland ax'eas, which .required processing in a shallow bedrock mortar. If the hpotl�iesis that shallow bedrock mortars were utilized for the processing of some type of food resource from grassland areas is true, then all bedrock mortar sites possessing a high percentage 'of shallow bedrock mortars should be Located within or adjacent to grassland areas. and CV -4 lend .some support for this h Three of the compa2atipvpe sites, CA-ABUT-627, -BUT-�66 7 CA -BUT --627 consists of 12. bedrock mortars that are all Less than 8 cm. ih depth and the site is located at the edge_ of _a small grassland area.

GA -BUT -714 is Located less than mile from the .,original bank of the West ;Branch of the feather River and the ethnographic data for tho Maidu states that they 'caught salmon and processed dried salmon into a coarse flour that was stored in baskets (bixon 1905:191)- Salmon are ,large fish, averaging �4" to fiq" in; length, that ca,i be caught in large quantities during their spawning run;;. it was postulated from this that CA. -BUT -744 might represent a salmon processing s�'Ae The processing of a large dumber of dried salmon at one time would probably require a large sized mortar to contain the :large yish and since this would be a group activity'thare would probably be a large grouping of these • mortars within. a small area. The pounding of the dried salmon into flour would only involve the movement of the pestle in a straight up and down motio;l since the object was to pulverize the salmon into flour.This technique Would produce a mortar hole with 'a low k -value and I f 'phis was the only food resource being processed at the sate the k -values for the mortars should be fairly uniform; 'Ey-pothesis Generated - Bedrock mortar sites consisting of narrow, deep mortar holes located in the ricinityy of dra' age channels where salmon spawning runs are likely to have_.��ccurred were ttilx^,�d for the processing of dried. salmon ;into `� lour.

It was concluded from this that; the mortars at CA,-BUT-656, CA-BUT-638 and 04-BUT-670 were in'ralved in the processing of some other type of food resoureo that required a deep mortar hole, the processing of which produced a generally wider mortar, than those produced during the processing of dried salmon. yr .- Obseryration 3 - The bedrock mortars at CA-BUT-741 displayed a high degree of variation with regards to their depths and k-values. Twenty of the mortars 'were less than 8 cm. in depthand the s ranged in depth fx; om' gmto14civ m.Tmeasured of the measured mortars also I, showed a high degree of variation .from_ 7.25 to 9.82 (see Table 1) . The selection of this location for a food ,processing site was believed to be due to the easily accessible water sources; adjacent to the site and the highly varied plant communities surrounding the site area. The site is located ' at the confluence of ah intermittent drainage and a spring fed drainage and the surrounding plant communities included -a small grassland area, -a -:Larger oak-grassland,/chaparral area and a heavily wooded foothill: woodland area with'a high percentage of yellow pine. In an ,area where a „de variety of plant reso5;rces were... gathered and then processed utilizing a mortar and pestle, the varying propertlos of these plant resources would requite different processing techniques involving the use of the mortar and pestle. This would be evidenced by a high degree ..Of variation between the, depths and k-values of the mortars Located at the site. The mortars at CA.-BUT-741 display both of these traits along With the fact that it 'is Located within an area where a wide variety of plant resources were available. Bedrock mortar sites displaying a high degree of variation with regards to their depths and k-valuez would not 'he expected to be similar when compared to'one.another, since the percentage of individual: plant resources will differ between areas and the intensity of activity at these situ will varyp' Thi's type of bedrock mortar site contrasts with bedrock mortar sites,•, where the rood processing irivolved only otic type of fond #... resource, such .as Feature B of CA-BUT 74,0 and CA-BjT-?44 '% Hxngthesa s Generated - Tae percen ;t�g�°� of va��,ous types ;,o bedrhighock degree tofsvaria.tion in �thebedrock dvp��a � rand�k-Val. el.9 of Ing, t,10- Mortars wall, reflect the relative, percentages of 1;h6type6', .Of Food resources being gathered l'',om' -the immediate „the .site area land proC^�ssed with a°mox;t;s and { 0,: yr her bedrock' mor'.var sites displayed a high degree of varliationwith ,regards to, their depths and k -values ry. 04 -DUm I f� r 656, 658 661 and '740 of all three loci off` mortars are grouped together), A:l.l of they, sites are located within areas where a variety of food resources are availablei it is not possi'bJye to determine all of the types of :food resypurces being processed at these -hype of s:iloes, but some xnCoxi4a'ti6n oarx be obtained by comparing 'the ndi ividua] types of mortars' at 'these, sites with the mor -tars from the specific use ty' e of sited such as CA -BUT -744 and Tea�ture B of CA-13UT�-740 The surrouhdj.rlg'plant communi,,jps'should also give an <; indication as to the' z;;rpes of plant resources bei.nrocessed at these sites., For example, CA-BU0,� 656 and CA, -BUT -p58 are locatednear q' one arvildler in aft oak -grassland area with a high percentag,, 'of (), ks and low peraOnta es of g grassland areas and ribai, v6gelu;atiani Only, a small percentage of the mortars atse sites were le^, than 8 cm in depth l ' ' and if shallow ^rs are in fact a0goci.ated with Food; Wesources from g� ,31a:hd areas, as mated above, than- '�ov�` percentage of shallow mo" would I)e expected, rJ`. ce `there is not 'a large grassland area in the �rXci.t�ity of th-ese sites.

The body of"' data ,this analysis was based on is still. much too l-itnited to form any firm conclusions, 'but as the data base ].nox%ries' the patterning of various stypes of bedrock mortars shou;l.d`zcome mare a�parellt This type of analysis will prove,.tjoe; ul iz determining the -types of food to8ources being Processed at a specific site and .the season in which this activity occurred. This will add to our knowledge of the aborigihal peoples of the area concerning their seasonal migrations ». to various locations within '•thdir territory. SUMMIXOY The bedroe:.

Very large parcels occur to the east and north. Existing use of the entire property is pastureland.

Sb,c,d: A wildlife survey done as part of the hoer Leak Lake Estates DIR indicated that nesting sites for the Southern Bald Eagle may occur in the area. The 40+ acre parcels should not be detrimental to the wildlife habitat. Vegetation corridors should be retained along any drainage areas to maintain the habitat while reducing the potent,isl for, erosion and siltation to Lake Oroville.

One archaeological site was recorded on tie Heckenliable property that consi6ted of eleven bedrock mortarsand a hunting bland located within a bed.roclw outcrop neat/ the southern property boundary. The hunting blind appears to be tiinique since this is the only example of this type of site T know of within Butte County that may be attribited to the aboriginal g g papulation of the area. The hunting blind consists of an area between two large boulders that has had the smaller rocks removed from.. this spaceand stao�kod along the outside to form a 1 ew wa1.l . The hunting b)rznd is in a location that allows good vi:�ibilty of the ripen area below the rock outcro Zt is unlikely tjat the pro osed; p' p project wild have any impact on the archau6logical materials at this site since they are within an�Garea of exposed 'bedrock._ it is recommended that archa�)olo --' cal clearance be granted for all three of the properties described above 1.1�„ r neereJ your, Jmes P Manning istriot Archaeologist TO 1916) 011-6109 { r
