  • Three Chumash-Style Pictograph Sites in Fernandeño Territory
    THREE CHUMASH-STYLE PICTOGRAPH SITES IN FERNANDEÑO TERRITORY ALBERT KNIGHT SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY There are three significant archaeology sites in the eastern Simi Hills that have an elaborate polychrome pictograph component. Numerous additional small loci of rock art and major midden deposits that are rich in artifacts also characterize these three sites. One of these sites, the “Burro Flats” site, has the most colorful, elaborate, and well-preserved pictographs in the region south of the Santa Clara River and west of the Los Angeles Basin and the San Fernando Valley. Almost all other painted rock art in this region consists of red-only paintings. During the pre-contact era, the eastern Simi Hills/west San Fernando Valley area was inhabited by a mix of Eastern Coastal Chumash and Fernandeño. The style of the paintings at the three sites (CA-VEN-1072, VEN-149, and LAN-357) is clearly the same as that found in Chumash territory. If the quantity and the quality of rock art are good indicators, then it is probable that these three sites were some of the most important ceremonial sites for the region. An examination of these sites has the potential to help us better understand this area of cultural interaction. This article discusses the polychrome rock art at the Burro Flats site (VEN-1072), the Lake Manor site (VEN-148/149), and the Chatsworth site (LAN-357). All three of these sites are located in rock shelters in the eastern Simi Hills. The Simi Hills are mostly located in southeast Ventura County, although the eastern end is in Los Angeles County (Figure 1).

D OMESTIC box office standings take on values in this year of vanished foreign markets that are tremendous in importance. They are the only ratings that mean anything to the producer, director, player, and exhibitor. Gone—at least for years to come—are the days when known box office failures in the American market could be pushed to fabulous income heights and foisted on the suffering American exhibitor because of a shadowy "for¬ eign value.” Gone are the days—and we hope forever—when producers could know¬ ingly, and with "malice aforethought,” set out on the production of top budgetted pictures that would admittedly have no appeal to American mass audiences, earn no dimes for American exhibitors. All because of that same shadowy foreign market. ^ ^ So THE DIGEST ANNUAL comes to you at an opportune time.

  • Science Applications International Corporation Carpinteria, California
    FROM THE STONE AGE TO THE SPACE AGE: SANTA SUSANA FIELD LABORATORY CULTURAL HISTORY STEPHEN BRYNE Science Applications International Corporation Carpinteria, California A number of prehistoric sites, including rock shelters, pictograph sites, occupation sites, and isolated artifacts, have been documented on Santa Susana Field Laboratory property. During the nineteenth century, the property was ranch and cattle land. Later, western movies were shot among the large sandstone outcrops. In the 1950s and 1960s, Rocketdyne developed rocket engines here. The Atlas, Thor, Jupiter, Apollo, and Saturn rocket systems were powered by massive Rocketdyne engines. Today, the lab is jointly owned by Boeing, the Department of Energy, and NASA. The lab is currently being closed, and cleanup efforts are under way. The Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) is located 30 mi. (48 km) northwest of downtown Los Angeles, California, in the southeast corner of Ventura County. The site is located approximately 7 mi. (11 km) northwest from the community of Canoga Park. Sage Ranch, part of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, is adjacent to part of the northern boundary, and the community of Bell Canyon is along the entire southern boundary. SSFL occupies approximately 2,850 acres of hilly terrain, with approximately 700 ft. of topographic relief near the crest of the Simi Hills. The Simi Hills are bordered on the east by the San Fernando Valley and to the north by the Simi Valley. The facility is divided into four administrative areas (Figure 1). Areas I and III are owned and operated by Boeing. Area II and a 42-acre portion of Area I are owned by the federal government and are administered by NASA.

  • Our County, Our Story; Portage County, Wisconsin
    Our County Our Story PORTAGE COUNTY WISCONSIN BY Malcolm Rosholt Charles M. White Memorial Public LibrarJ PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STEVENS POINT, \VISCONSIN 1959 Copyright, 1959, by the PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AT WORZALLA PUBLISHING COMPANY STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN FOREWORD With the approach of the first frost in Portage County the leaves begin to fall from the white birch and the poplar trees. Shortly the basswood turns yellow and the elm tree takes on a reddish hue. The real glory of autumn begins in October when the maples, as if blushing in modesty, turn to gold and crimson, and the entire forest around is aflame with color set off against deeper shades of evergreens and newly-planted Christmas trees. To me this is the most beautiful season of the year. But it is not of her beauty only that I write, but of her colorful past, for Portage County is already rich in history and legend. And I share, in part, at least, the conviction of Margaret Fuller who wrote more than a century ago that "not one seed from the past" should be lost. Some may wonder why I include the names listed in the first tax rolls. It is part of my purpose to anchor these names in our history because, if for no other reas­ on, they were here first and there can never be another first. The spellings of names and places follow the spellings in the documents as far as legibility permits. Some no doubt are incorrect in the original entry, but the major­ ity were probably correct and since have changed, which makes the original entry a matter of historic significance.
