Abstract
Analysis of the Death Valley site of DEVA 84E-1 demonstrates the ability of sheet wash erosion to selectively remove small size chipping debris from primary deposits, while leaving the larger flakes behind. Such erosive post-depositional alteration of a surface site located in an area of sparse vegetation and subject to high volume, high velocity flash flooding should not be surprising. Baumler's concern that similar postdepositional alteration of archaeological deposits is widespread is not justified. When sites are protected by vegetative cover, significant debris loss is not encountered.
