Description
The site described here lies about 5 miles east of Yreka, Siskiyou County. It is on the north side of a deep ravine, drained by a small stream (Cash Creek). There are several other rock shelters in the vicinity.’ These were formed by the weathering out of a layer of basaltic cinders from beneath a harder overlying stratum of fine-grained basalt. TwR (Sis-13 and Sis-14) contain undoubted evidence of prehistoric occupation.
