ABSTRACT
Initially, in order to define the limits of surficial evidence of the site and record site conditions, a pedestrian archaeological survey was conducted of the entire mall property (10.80 hectares). Shovel tests were executed in a proposed access road right-of-way (approximately 8 m wide) on the northwest side of the site, where construction was scheduled to take place immediately. Ceramic sherds were found in Shovel Tests Pits (STP) 9, 11, 12, 14 and 16 (Figure 1.7a) on the northwest edge of the site; but shovel tests on neighboring parcels failed to produce convincing evidence that the site extended north of the mall property.
