To the uneducated eye, the place known as the Harris archeological site looks like vintage San Diego backcountry--a chaparral and weed-choked slope of land reaching up from a north county riverbed. But to local archeologists, it represents a looking glass into the lives of the earliest people to inhabit the region--a gold mine of crude hand-carved tools and human remains about 15,000 years old. It is one of the most important archeological sites in the western United States, archeologists say.
