MAMMOTH 2001
This was my first major CRM project out of college. We went to Mammoth to conduct test excavations near the highway to assess the impact of a road expansion. While in the area, we toured several Native American sites, such as rockshelters and a volcanic mountain called "Glass Mountain" which served as a major source of obsidian for making stone tools.
