Journal Hefner, m.s. 1975 Concord, Contra Costa Co., 40oft. California 28 December 1400 learned of Costanoan Indian middle sight near present day Buchanan Airfield. (William L. McNeil). Bill and I looked through part of large pile of soil dug from about 1-2 meters below the surface by "Back-hoe" the week before. Bill had notified Prof. Savage of U.C. of the find (made by one or Bill's students actually). Savage and 2 grad. students came to the area and collected for a few hours. There appears to be no effort on Savage's part to preserve the sight site. Bill had found Indian bones on a nearby sit site about 10 years previously -- these were dated (by U.C) at about 500 yrs. BP. Since these are assumed to be part of the same indian incampment and are therefore only 700 years old, the people at U.C. aren't too interested -- We picked up several pieces of bone -- Bill found an arrowhead which he gave to me. The bones were identified (by myself) as mostly Odocivlano and Cervus. N Hwy 4 *1 = new site *2 = site where Bill found Indian bones Solano Way Buchanan airfield Hwy 24 center of concord houses
