National Historic Landmarks Program

• For archeological properties, the boundaries of the property are defined by the physical extent of the nationally significant resource and may include both above and below ground features that can contribute nationally significant information.

• The area to be registered should be large enough to include all historic and/or archeological features of a property, but should not include “buffer zones” or acreage not directly contributing to the significance of the property.

Borax Lake Site, CA: The Borax Lake Site is the type site for a major prehistoric period in the far western United States, the Paleo-Indian (Clovis), referred to in archeological literature of the Western Great Basin and California as the Post Pattern. The occurrence of Clovis-like projectile points from Borax Lake in the Coast Range of northern California dramatically extended the geographic scope of Paleo-Indian occupation into the far western United States. Archeological investigations at the Borax Lake Site demonstrated that Paleo-Indian occupation of the Far West (Western Great Basin and California) represents a specialized lake shore dwelling adaptation by this group.
