processed. \u00a0One 5-gal bucket sample was recovered and processed through \u00bc\u201d mesh. \u00a0In addition a 2,000cc sample was recovered and screened through 1\/8\u201d mesh. \u00a0No attempt was made to determine the depth of the deposit.<br><br>A graph of all material recovered from the 5-gallon sample (top graph) indicates that \u201cEuroAmerican other\u201d (metal, leather, building material, etc.) made up most of the sample by weight. \u00a0This was followed by Euro American glass, Euro American ceramics, stone tool manufacturing debitage, organic material, Asian ceramics, buttons, and bone.<br><br>The 2,000cc sample processed through the 1\/8\u201d screen had a slightly different breakdown with Euro American glass having the highest
