(Chambers Group) has been contracted by Control Management, Inc., within the City of Jurupa Valley, Riverside County, California, to complete an Archaeological and Paleontological Literature Review and site survey for the proposed commercial development. The proposed project includes the construction of a convenience store, service station, car wash, commercial building, restaurant building and parking lot. The project is proposed on an existing 16.22-acre property located in on the southeast corner of Van Buren Blvd and Rutile Street, Jurupa Valley, Riverside County. Chambers Group completed an Archaeological and Paleontological Literature Review and site survey of the 16.22-acre project location. This report outlines the Archaeological and Paleontological findings. The following study has been conducted in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This report includes appropriate mitigation measures to ensure less than significant impacts to inadvertent findings of cultural resources during construction. 1.1 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Work for this project was conducted in compliance with CEQA. The regulatory framework as it pertains to cultural resources under CEQA has been detailed below. Under the provisions of CEQA, including the CEQA Statutes (Public Resources Code [PRC] §§ 21083.2 and 21084.1), the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 California Code of Regulations [CCR], § 15064.5), and PRC § 5024.1 (Title 14 CCR § 4850 et seq.), properties expected to be directly or indirectly affected by a proposed project must be evaluated for CRHR eligibility (PRC § 5024.1). The purpose of the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) is to maintain listings of the state’s historical resources and to indicate which properties are to be protected, to the extent prudent and feasible, from material impairment and substantial adverse change. The term historical resources includes a resource listed in or determined to be eligible for listing in the CRHR; a resource included in a local register of historical resources; and any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript that a lead agency determines to be historically significant (CCR § 15064.5[a]). The criteria for listing properties in the CRHR were expressly developed in accordance with previously established criteria developed for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP 1995:2) regards “any physical evidence of human activities over 45 years old” as meriting recordation and evaluation. 1.1.1 CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORIC RESOURCES A cultural resource is considered “historically significant” under CEQA if the resource meets one or more of the criteria for listing on the CRHR. The CRHR was designed to be used by state and local agencies, private groups, and citizens to identify existing cultural resources within the state and to indicate which of those resources should be protected, to the extent prudent and feasible, from substantial adverse change. The following criteria have been established for the CRHR. A resource is considered significant if

  • Final Glottalization in Barbareiio Chumash and Its Neighbors* Tsuyoshi Ono, Suzanne Wash, and Marianne Mithun University of California, Santa Barbara
    Final Glottalization in Barbareiio Chumash and Its Neighbors* Tsuyoshi Ono, Suzanne Wash, and Marianne Mithun University of California, Santa Barbara 0. Introduction Final glottalization in Barbarefio Chumash appears in a variety of environments which include reduplication, imperative, and emphasis. l Interestingly, we have found that final glottalization occurs in similar environments in neighboring languages which include Uto-Aztecan, Yokuts, and Yuman languages. Below, we will present final glottalization data from Barbarefio and report the results of a small survey of the functions of final glottalization in neighboring languages. We hope our paper will stimulate discussion and further investigation by interested individuals. 1. Data Barbarefio data come from microfilms of John Peabody Harrington ' s manuscripts. Barbarefio transcription has been regularized because Harrington used a variety of symbols for individual segments over the course of his work. The data for other languages are taken from published sources such as grammars and dictionaries. We have generally retained the transcriptions of the sources. 2. Barbareiio Chumash Final Glottalization In this section, we will present final glottalization data from Barbarefio Chumash. We will first discuss its phonetic *We would like to thank Dale Kinkade, Margaret Langdon, Herb Luthin, Amy Miller and Mauricio Mixco for sharing with us their expertise on the languages they have worked on. Our work on Barbarefio Chumash has been made possible by grant BNS90-11018 from the National Science Foundation. l~inalglottalization probably appears in similar environments in other Chumash languages. For instance, all the environments described in this paper are reported in Inesefio (Applegate 1972). Final glottalization is also found with transitivization and nominalization in Barbarefio.

  • Early Southern California History (1769-1800) by John P
    Early Southern California History (1769-1800) by John P. Schmal (2019) This presentation explores the original Spanish settlement of Southern California in the late 18th Century, as well as the large number of indigenous communities that existed in the area. Of special interest will be the Expedition of 1781 from Álamos, Sonora, which led to the establishment of Los Angeles, San Buenaventura and Santa Barbara. Copyright © 2019 John P. Schmal Background Sebastián Vizcaíno (1548 – 1624) explored the California coast in 1602-1603. However, after this Spain lost interest in California and did not send any expeditions to California for over a century-and-a-half. Fearing that the Russians were moving down from Alaska to California, Spain regained interest in California and decided to establish some settlements in the area in the 1760s and beyond. José de Gálvez (1720 – 1787), Inspector General for the King of Spain was given permission by King Carlos III to explore Alta California and establish the first permanent Spanish presence there. Gálvez was supported in the planning of an expedition by Carlos Francisco de Croix (1699 – 1786), Viceroy of New Spain, and Father Junípero Serra (1713 – 1784), the head of the Franciscan mission to the Californias (Baja and Alta California). The expedition was planned in 1768. Gálvez placed Gaspar de Portolá (1723- 1786), recently appointed governor of Las Californias, in overall command of the expedition. Second in command was Captain Fernando Rivera y Moncada (1725 – 1781), commander of the Presidio at Loreto. 2 Copyright © 2019 John P.

  • Animals in Human Situations in Ancient Egyptian Ostraca and Papyri
    arts Article Animals in Human Situations in Ancient Egyptian Ostraca and Papyri Azza Ezzat Writing and Scripts Center, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Alexandria Governorate 21526, Egypt; [email protected] Abstract: It has been said that the ancient Egyptians were raised to tolerate all kinds of toil and hardship; they nevertheless also liked to amuse themselves with comic relief in their everyday life. For example, ancient Egyptian drawing can be quite accurate and at times even spirited. What scholars have described as caricatures are as informative and artistic as supposed serious works of art. Ancient Egyptians have left countless images representing religious, political, economic, and/or social aspects of their life. Scenes in Egyptian tombs could be imitated on ostraca (potsherds) that portray animals as characters performing what would normally be human roles, behaviors, or occupations. These scenes reveal the artists’ sense of comedy and humor and demonstrate their freedom of thought and expression to reproduce such lighthearted imitations of religious or funeral scenes. This paper will focus on a selection of drawings on ostraca as well as three papyri that show animals—often dressed in human garb and posing with human gestures—performing parodies of Citation: Ezzat, Azza. 2021.

The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors, and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government. 1 Mapping the 3D Geometry of Active Faults in Southern California Abstract Accurate assessment of the seismic hazard in southern California requires an accurate and complete description of the active faults in three dimensions. Dynamic rupture behavior, realistic rupture scenarios, fault segmentation, and the accurate prediction of fault interactions and strong ground motion all strongly depend on the location, sense of slip, and 3D geometry of these active fault surfaces. Comprehensive and improved catalogs of relocated earthquakes for southern California are now available for detailed analysis. These catalogs comprise over 500,000 revised earthquake hypocenters, and nearly 200,000 well-determined earthquake focal mechanisms since 1981. These extensive catalogs need to be carefully examined and analyzed, not only for the accuracy and resolution of the earthquake hypocenters, but also for kinematic consistency of the spatial pattern of fault slip and the orientation of 3D fault surfaces at seismogenic depths.
