Comm. 25-020 The P IRI. Inc_ project area consisted of hummocky broken pahoehoc lava with thin deposits of soil within low spots and depressions in the broken lava. The two sites were documented as Site 50-10-45-19013 (formerly ila-A54), an agricultural site consisting of two depressions and two terraces and Site 50-10-45-19014 (formerly I la- A5-5), a burial platform. The PI IRI archaeological study determined that the agricultural features at Site 19013 were significant under criterion "D" and recommended additional testing be conducted through archaeological inventory survey. The burial platform at Site 19014 was assessed as significant under criteria "C",1)", and "E". EXPECTED ARCHAEOLOGICAL PATTERNS Based on previous archaeological studies, geological studies, historical research, and County Planning Department records it is expected that archaeological sites located on the current project area will be related to agriculture and habitation in the immediate area. County planning records indicate that no modern improvements have been made on the project parcel. Therefore, based on historical documents and archaeological studies, archaeological features will most likely include planting depressions, rock -clearing mounds, agricultural terraces. ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVENTORY SURVEY RESULTS The two previously documented archaeological sites were recorded, and one was tested, during an archaeological inventory survey conducted by SC S (Escott. 2013) (Figure 10). Site 50-10-45-19013 is an agricultural site consisting of two depressions and two terraces. Site 50-10-45-19014 was a burial platform. No other archaeological sites or historic properties exist on the project area. Descriptions of the two sites are recorded below.
