The location of the site has been known since the early 19th century (Linn 1883:333-334), but its full extent and the details of its origin and construction have never been determined. A program of archaeological testing was proposed for delineating and assessing the site. Under a contract between the City of Victoria and the Center for Archaeological Research (letter dated November 14, 1978, Mr. Jack Murphy), work was begun on November 27, 1978. The testing was carried out by Anne Fox, Research Associate of the Center, and Cristi Assad of the Center staff. The project was directed by Dr. Thomas R. Hester, Center Director, and Mr. Jack D.
