Poverty Flat Site
History
Poverty Flat features five designated sites. Sites 1 through 4 are located on the north bank of the Middle Fork Coyote Creek, while site 5 is situated on the southern bank.
The Poverty Flat Site area spans 300 300 ft (91 m) in length and 100 ft (30 m) feet in width, with depths ranging from 2 ft (0.61 m) to 5 ft (1.5 m). Comprising a significant deposit of dark gray ashy debris, it contains numerous fire-fractured rocks, human bone, as well as chips and flakes of obsidian mixed with chert. Situated near ample water sources and abundant food reserves at the canyon's base, it suggests the site served as a semi-permanent Costanoan Native American village.
