The research conducted at the Fossil Falls/Little Lake locality by Alan P. Garfinkel in 1976 represents an intensive three month investigation of a unique geological area containing some of the few subsurface occupational remains of the "Pinto" or "Little Lake" period, dating from at least 3000 B.C. Additional cultural material found in stratigraphic context in this area may date to as early as 8000 B.C., suggesting affiliation with the "Lake Mojave" complex.
