It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, recognized as a National Monument in 2006, and owned and managed by The Archaeological Conservancy since 1987. A recent field investigation found new evidence of Paleo-Archaic occupation and new evidence of horizontal stratigraphy.

The Hill Patwin, their neighbors to the east in the periphery between the North Coast and the Central Valley, can greatly contribute to our understanding of the region by illustrating the flow of cultural influences across regional boundaries. This paper argues that instead of simply discussing the Hill Patwin in relation to their Central Valley linguistic kin, they must be included in the discussion of North Coastal peoples and prehistory.

The purpose is to create an inventory document that provides cultural resource management practitioners and land managers with an informed basis for understanding the study area in terms of the cultural resources, their environment, land use in the past, and the need for further work.
