Cultural and Paleontological Resources Section 4.9 Cultural and Paleontological Resources 4.9.1 Introduction This section assesses the potential impacts on cultural resources that could arise from disturbances and impacts resulting from development consistent with the proposed project, General Plan Amendment No. 960 (GPA No. 960). Cultural resources include areas, places, sites (particularly archeological sites), buildings, structures, objects, records, or manuscripts associated with history or prehistory. Some specific examples of cultural resources are pioneer homes, buildings, or old wagon roads; structures with unique architecture or designed by a notable archi- tect; prehistoric Native American village sites; pioneering ethnic settlements; historic or prehistoric artifacts or objects, rock inscriptions, human burial sites; battlefields; railroad water towers; prehistoric trails; early mines or important historic industrial sites. Cultural resources may also include places that have historic or traditional associations or that are important for their natural resources. Cultural resources are important for scientific, historic and, at times religious, reasons to cultures, communities, groups and individuals. Paleontological resources (evidence of past life forms and their biota) are valued for the information they yield about the history of the earth and its past ecological settings. Although not human-related, paleontological resources are also included in this section, as their impacts and mitigation requirements tend to be similar to that of archeological resources. On rare occasion, fossils have been found in archeological sites that have been modified by man, making them also artifacts. 4.9.2 Existing Setting - Cultural and Paleontological Resources The cultural resource characteristics of Riverside County reflect patterns of human settlement, human use of the land and its resources, the artistic expressions on material culture and natural features, technologies and ideologies, as well as past environmental conditions. The existing paleontological setting reflects the paleontological record and related geology as they are currently known for Riverside County. This sub-section includes information summarized from Section 4.6 of the 1999 “Existing Setting Report” prepared for the 2003 RCIP General Plan. A. Cultural / Ethnological Resources The cultural history of Riverside County is divided into two general chronological units: prehistory and the historic time periods which include ethnohistoric information. “Prehistory” encompasses the period of earliest human activities prior to the keeping of written records and spans over 99% of the total extent of human society. Due to the lack of written sources for this period, archeological study is key to its understanding. In Southern County of Riverside Environmental Impact Report No. 521 Public Review Draft § February 2015 4.9-1 California, the prehistoric period refers only to Native American traditions, beginning with the settlement of the Southern California region at least 10,000 to 12,000 years ago and extending forward through time to initial Euro- American settlement in the late 18th century when the mission system was established, disrupting native life ways. Nearly a century later, between 1875 and 1891, at least ten Indian reservations were set aside in Riverside County and nearby vicinities. Most indigenous tribal people natives were moved to these reservations, further disrupting and largely ending, the persistence of traditional Native American life ways. The historic era began around 1774 with the exploratory expeditions of Juan Bautista de Anza and continued to 45 years before the present day, (currently 1966) as defined by CEQA. 1. Prehistory Riverside County environmental conditions during the late Pleistocene and Holocence periods fostered an ecologically rich region for human settlement. This 14,000-year period of human occupation was marked by an overall trend toward increasing aridity and warmer temperatures, with some temporary reversals as well as periods of climatic stability. As environmental conditions changed, Native American populations adapted with modifica- tions in settlement patterns, subsistence practices, social organization and technology. Three primary geomorphic provinces are found in Riverside County: the Mojave Desert, the Colorado Desert and the Peninsular Ranges. The diverse prehistoric landscape and habitats of the internally drained basins and pluvial (landlocked) lakes of the Mojave Desert region, the fresh water lakes of the Colorado Desert and the prominent ranges of the Peninsular Range were used by ancient and indigenous groups of people, leaving a rich archeological heritage. The following artifacts and features are characteristic of the Prehistoric Period: ceramics, projectile points of many types, grinding implements (mortars and pestles, metates and manos), enigmatic cogstones, shell, bone, clay beads and pendants, evidence of big game hunting. Additional background information on these types of artifacts may be found in Section 4.7 of EIR No. 441, the EIR associated with the 2003 RCIP General Plan. The EIR No. 441 section also contains an extensive introduction to the cultural timelines associated with the Prehistoric Period. Due to the thousands of years spanned by the Prehistoric Period, the impermanence of many indigenous material goods and the widely scattered and varying itinerant patterns of settlement, the prehistoric archeological record tends to be less clearly defined and more sporadically preserved than that of later eras. Nevertheless, a large number of prehistoric resources are known or expected to occur within Riverside County. When uncovered as a result of an archeological investigation or development activities, such resources are, at minimum, documented and entered into a statewide recording system (CHRIS, the California Historical Resources Information System). These records are archived and maintained by the Eastern Information Center (EIC) located at the University of California at Riverside (UCR), a branch of the California Office of Historical Preservation. Of these recorded sites within Riverside County, a few have been designated as federal, state and/or county cultural resources as shown in Table 4.9-A (Cultural Resources of Riverside County), below. A number of sites, however, are protected in the confidential archives of the EIC and are not publicly accessible to protect and preserve their scientific and cultural value. 2. Ethnohistory The Ethnohistoric Period of Riverside County at the time of Euro-American contact was distinguished by eight distinct resident cultural groups of Native Americans: Cahuilla (primarily), Gabrielino, Juaneño, Luiseño, Quechan, Halichidhoma, Chemehuevi and Serrano. These groups occupied territories across Southern California generally as indicated in Figure 4.9.1 (Southern California Tribal Territories). It should be noted that territorial boundaries did change for some tribal groups throughout time. The majority of western Riverside County was County of Riverside Environmental Impact Report No. 521 4.9-2 Public Review Draft § February 2015 occupied by the Cahuilla who spoke a Cupan language within the Takic family of the Uto-Aztecan language stock. The western part of the county, in the vicinity of the Santa Ana Mountains fell within the territory of the Gabrielinos, Juaneños and Luiseños who also spoke Cupan languages. These three populations had territories that extended from the coast eastward and northeastward across the Santa Ana and Palomar mountains, encom- passing Temescal Valley and Lake Elsinore, and extending toward the foothills of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains.

  • Constraints on the Timescale of Animal Evolutionary History
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history Michael J. Benton, Philip C.J. Donoghue, Robert J. Asher, Matt Friedman, Thomas J. Near, and Jakob Vinther ABSTRACT Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is much debate on the most appropriate and reasonable ways in which to date the tree of life, and recent work has highlighted some confusions and complexities that can be avoided. Whether phylogenetic trees are dated after they have been estab- lished, or as part of the process of tree finding, practitioners need to know which cali- brations to use. We emphasize the importance of identifying crown (not stem) fossils, levels of confidence in their attribution to the crown, current chronostratigraphic preci- sion, the primacy of the host geological formation and asymmetric confidence intervals. Here we present calibrations for 88 key nodes across the phylogeny of animals, rang- ing from the root of Metazoa to the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens. Close attention to detail is constantly required: for example, the classic bird-mammal date (base of crown Amniota) has often been given as 310-315 Ma; the 2014 international time scale indicates a minimum age of 318 Ma.

  • Keys Ranch: Where Time Stood Still
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Keys Ranch: Where Time Stood Still Keys Ranch: Where Time Stood Still (Photo by Harmon and Nelda King, National Park Service) In the high desert of California, flesh-colored boulders rise up out of the stark landscape and embrace a small valley where Keys Ranch stands. Strangely shaped trees cast long shadows on the sides of the simple wooden ranch structures. Animal tracks in the sand tell of the previous night's adventures when scorpions, kangaroo rats, snakes, and bobcats battled for survival. This seemingly hostile desert environment was settled much later than other more productive areas of the West. Yet it was here, in 1917, that Bill Keys chose to establish a ranch and raise a family. Keys and other 20th-century homesteaders lived much as earlier pioneers in the West had, working hard to make their marginal land holdings successful. Today, Keys Ranch is preserved as part of Joshua Tree National Park.

Sousa and Professor Thomas J. Carlson, Co-Chairs The targeted application of prescribed fire has long been used by Native Californian peoples to manage plant resources of cultural value. Their ability to employ this management tool has been increasingly restricted by local, state and federal agencies in response to recent drought conditions and the highly flammable state of most western U.S. forests, where, for decades, fires of any magnitude have been suppressed as a matter of policy. This diminished access to cultural prescribed fire has impacted tribal access to many of the plant resources and cultural activities upon which Karuk and Yurok cultures are based.

  • The Creation and Flute Lure Myths: Regional Patterns in Southern California Traditions
    Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology Vol. 23, No. 2, pp. 155-178 (2001) The Creation and Flute Lure Myths: Regional Patterns in Southern California Traditions DON LAYLANDER ASM Affiliates, Inc. 543 Encinitas Blvd., Suite 114, Encinitas, GA 92024 Among the 'ways in 'which traditional narratives shed light on prehistory, regional variations in shared myths provide insights concerning cultural conservatism or fluidity and the patterns of social interaction among groups. A comparative analysis offwo myths recorded in numerous versions from southern California, 'western Arizona, and northern Baja California suggests that the region's traditional cultures 'were shaped by ongoing borro'wing and innovation to a greater extent than has sometimes been supposed, and that individual narrative motifs typically had relatively short lifespans ofafe'w centuries at most. Cultural interaction among the region's different peoples 'was evidently little constrained by disparate linguistic heritages, competing military alliances, or social and economic dissimilarities. "KTative Californian traditional narratives shed light on regional prehistory and ethnohistory in -/.\ several different ways. In some cases, they directly preserved information about past events (e.g., Laylander). More generally, they reflect past lifeways, including material culture and social organization, but in particular they mirror ideas about human nature, morality, and aesthetics which were otherwise often not well documented (e.g., Blackburn 1975). The present study considers two additional ways in which traditional narratives are revealing, based on interethnic sharing of common narrative themes and story elements. Diachronically considered, the extent to which patterns of narrative sharing crosscut the primary lines of cultural descent, as those were marked by linguistic affiliations, is a measure of the extent to which the groups' traditions were open to borrowing and innovation, rather than static and conservative.

  • Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan Proposed Land
    DRECP Proposed LUPA and Final EIS CHAPTER III.8. CULTURAL RESOURCES III.8 CULTURAL RESOURCES This chapter presents the Affected Environment for the Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) Decision Area and the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) area for cultural resources. These areas overlap, and in the following programmatic discussion are referred to broadly as the “California Desert Region.” More than 32,000 cultural resources are known in the DRECP area in every existing environmental context ⎼ from mountain crests to dry lake beds ⎼ and include both surface and subsurface deposits. Cultural resources are categorized as buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts (including cultural landscapes and Traditional Cultural Properties) under the federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Historic properties are cultural resources included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), maintained by the Secretary of the Interior (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 60.4). See Section III.8.1.1 for more information on federal regulations and historic properties. This chapter discusses three types of cultural resources classified by their origins: prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic. Prehistoric cultural resources are associated with the human occupation of California prior to prolonged European contact. These resources may include sites and deposits, structures, artifacts, rock art, trails, and other traces of Native American human behavior. In California, the prehistoric period began over 12,000 years ago and extended through the eighteenth century until 1769, when the first Europeans settled in California. Ethnographic resources represent the heritage of a particular ethnic or cultural group, such as Native Americans or African, European, Latino, or Asian immigrants.
