Non-Site 4 UTM Zone: 16S 490516.28mE 4020532.78mN Cultural Affiliation: Post-Contact Site Type: Midden Site Size: 12-by-11 m Elevation: 593 ft. AMSL NRHP Recommendation : Not Eligible Non-Site 4 is a post-contact midden located at Shov- el Test 548 (Figure 5.20). The site runs 30 m north to south along a dry drainage to a small branch of Sycamore Creek and is 15 m east to west at its widest extent. The midden corresponds with a non-extant building seen on the USGS 1957 Ashland City 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle. Shovel tests were placed at close intervals but yielded no cultural materials. On average, shovel tests produced a profile consisting of a light olive brown (2.5YR 5/4) clayey loam underlain by a dark grayish-brown (2.5YR 4/2) clay subsoil and reached an average depth of 10 cmbs. All artifacts were observed on the surface and included iron pipes, barbed-wire fencing, mesh wire, aluminum cans,
cinder blocks, bricks, and metal sheeting. Coke, Pepsi, and Mello Yellow glass bottles and cans were observed at the site. Glass bottles dating between 1954 and 1980 were also documented (Figure 5.21). As the midden could not be dated prior to the 1950s, the site is determined to be ineligible for inclusion to the NRHP.
