- EcOr-34, See-Everywhere: The site consists of a single medium-size cairn suitated atop a small rise (800 m asl) along the edge of a large coulee. This is the best location for a commanding view of the surrounding area. A large quantity of stone debitage and a few lost or discarded tools are also present atop the small rise in the vicinity of the cairn. Excavation of the cairn yielded materials characteristic of the middle and late prehistoric periods as well as the historic period. The dated vertebrae were badly weathered but still in articulated position.
