Timothy Gross (May 2009) and the addendum to that report, prepared by Mary Robbins-Wade of HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) in January 2015. This letter report was prepared in response to a request from City of San Diego (City) staff that an archaeologist and a Native American monitor assess the current condition of the cultural resources within the project site. The proposed project design has not changed since the 2009 submittal. Site conditions within the project footprint have not changed, and the proposed data recovery plan is still adequate to mitigate potential project impacts, as described below. BACKGROUND The Roselle Street project (project) is located within the significant archaeological and cultural resource site known as Ystagua (CA-SDI-4609). The property is located on Roselle Street in Sorrento Valley, in the City of San Diego, in western San Diego County. The parcel is on the alluvial flats along Carroll Canyon Creek in Soledad Canyon, at the end of Roselle Street, although some of the steep valley wall is included in the eastern portion of the property, as well. On July 23, 2009, the project property was designated by the City’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) as HRB Site #924, Village of Ystagua Area #1.

  • Culture Or Adaptation: Milling Stone Reconsidered

Ritter and H. L. Crew, D. H. Thomas, W. J. Wallace, C. N. Warren, G, Waugh, and G.J. West Archaeological Research Center California State University, Sacramento CULTURE OR ADAPTATION: MILLING STONE RECONSIDERED Terry L. Jones Of interest to D. L. True throughout his career was the California Milling Stone Horizon, the artifact complex dominated by handstones, millingslabs, and crude core tools most frequently associated with the early Holocene in southern California. The basic Milling Stone pattern, identified in 1929 by David Banks Rogers in the Santa Barbara Channel and formally defined by Treganza (1950) and Wallace (1955), was brought to the attention of American archaeologists outside of California by Wallace (1954) and True (1958). Over the next 30 years, D. L. True authored a number ofarticles and reports on Milling Stone (Basgall and True 1985; True 1980; True and Baumhoff 1982, 1985; True and Beemer 1982; True et al. 1979) in which he described regional variants and refined the typological definitions ofimportant artifacts. Also during this period, D. L. was not shy about bringing Milling Stone into the seminar room, often forcing theoretically-oriented archaeology students of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s to acknowledge their inability to distinguish artifacts from non-artifacts.

Most were discovered through the open cast mining for diamonds that has left very little in situ fluvial sediment remaining today. The site of Canteen Koppie is an internationally famous location with a reputation for prolific Acheulean artefacts, especially handaxes and the enigmatic prepared core and Levallois-like technology known as Victoria West. Our understanding of this site, and most other Vaal locations, is almost solely based on highly selected artefact collections. Here, we report on the first controlled excavations ever to be conducted at Canteen Koppie. The deposits are likely to date to the Early and Middle Pleistocene, and our excavations sample the full depth of the stratigraphic sequence. The lower units, first identified in these excavations, add a considerable time depth to the Acheulean occupation of the site, making this the longest chrono-stratigraphic sequence in South Africa to our knowledge. Given the current international interest in the origins of Levallois/prepared core technology (PCT), its occurrence in Unit 2b Upper, and its presence alongside Victoria West technology in Unit 2a has significant implications for debates on the role of Victoria West in the origins of PCT.

OBSERVING SUBSISTENCE CHANGE IN NATIVE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: THE LATE PREHISTORIC KUMEYAAY John A. Hildebrand and Melissa B. Hagstrum _________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Among hunters and gatherers, how are subsistence strategies chosen and what factors influence adoption of alternative strategies to provision basic subsistence requirements? Under conditions of subsistence stress, how will traditional hunters and gatherers modify these strategies? We examine these questions to understand mechanisms of subsistence stress adaptation and to account for changes in the late prehistoric and historic archaeological record of interior southern California. Several factors may have contributed to subsistence stress during the late prehistoric and historic periods in this part of California. Lake Cahuilla, occupying the Salton Trough in southeastern California, altered the available subsistence resource base as it filled or emptied, depending on the Colorado River's course. From A.D. 700 to 1640, Lake Cahuilla provided lacustrine subsistence resources which disappeared with the lake's complete desiccation after A.D. 1700. A permanent European presence in southern California, beginning in A.D. 1769, restricted native peoples' access to their customary subsistence resources and displaced coastal native populations to more remote mountain regions. What is not known are the ways in which native peoples adapted their subsistence and social patterns to cope with the multiple stresses wrought by these changes.

  • Archaeological Investigations at the Oak Flat Site (Ca-Sba-3931) Santa Barbara County, California
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT THE OAK FLAT SITE (CA-SBA-3931) SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA by ESTHER LOUISE DRAUCKER A thesis submitted to the Master of Arts Graduate Program in Anthropology at California State University, Bakersfield, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in ANTHROPOLOGY Bakersfield, California 2014 Copyright By Esther Louise Draucker 2014 Frontispiece: Overview of CA-SBA-3931 (Oak Flat), looking west. The base of the rock feature can be discerned in the center. i ABSTRACT The region occupied by the Chumash of south-central California were divided into sub-groups who occupied different territories and spoke separate, but related languages. The Cuyama sub-group occupied the Cuyama Valley and the surrounding hills and mountains. Branch Canyon leads roughly south from Cuyama Valley and is known to contain prehistoric archaeological sites. The site chosen for this investigation was not previously recorded, but is a large, level area where many artifacts have been found. The area is covered with little other than wildflowers and grasses, but broken groundstone is visible, and an extensive looter’s hole exists, which suggests a possible prehistoric habitation site. Local residents have recovered many artifacts here, including glass beads, indicating occupation during the historic era. The base of a large, square rock feature overlays the prehistoric site. Very little archaeological exploration has been carried out in Cuyama Valley and its surrounding environs. Few site records exist for the valley, although many sites have been recorded for the southern canyons and the potreros at the top of the Sierra Madre Range.

The project area consists of 19.82 acres in the City of Azusa, Los Angeles County, California. Specifically, the project area is located at the Azusa Civic Center and is roughly bordered by 9th Street to the north, North Dalton Avenue to the east, East Foothill Avenue to the south, and North Azusa Avenue to the west. Dates of Investigation: The California Historical Resources Information System records search was conducted by the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at California State University, Fullerton and received on May 20, 2011. Cultural resources specialists conducted an intensive-level cultural resource surveys on August 1, 2011, December 14, 2011, and February 13, 2013.

Box 2075, Montrose, CO 81402-2075 The Hunchback Shelter (42BE751), located in the southeastern Great Basin, yielded a considerable amount of data on the prehistoric use of the site. Located adjacent to the Wild Horse Canyon and Schoo Mine obsidian sources, evidence indicates that Hunchback Shelter functioned as a camp where Archaic to Formative (Fremont) knappers produced both bifaces and expedient flake cores. The intent of these procurement visits appears to have shifted over time. Furthermore, the Fremont visits appear to be consistent with comparative evidence from Five Finger Ridge, a major Fremont village. These findings have important implications for understanding the relationship between procurement behavior and settlement structure, and the relative importance ofbiface versus core technologies during the Fremont period. 0CATED IN THE SOUTHEASTERN Great Basin of residentiaUy mobile foragers to more logistically-based, 1^ Utah (Fig. 1), the Hunchback Sheher (42BE751) is semi-sedentary or sedentary forager/farmers.
