  • 4.3 Cultural Resources
    4.3 CULTURAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION W & S Consultants, (W&S) conducted an archaeological survey of the project site that included an archival record search conducted at the local California Historic Resource Information System (CHRIS) repository at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) located on the campus of California State University, Fullerton. In July 2010, a field survey of the 1.2-mile proposed project site was conducted. The archaeological survey report can be found in Appendix 4.3. Mitigation measures are recommended which would reduce potential impacts to unknown archeological resources within the project site, potential impacts to paleontological resources, and the discovery of human remains during construction to less than significant. PROJECT BACKGROUND Ethnographic Setting Tataviam The upper Santa Clara Valley region, including the study area, was inhabited during the ethnographic past by an ethnolinguistic group known as the Tataviam.1 Their language represents a member of the Takic branch of the Uto-Aztecan linguistic family.2 In this sense, it was related to other Takic languages in the Los Angeles County region, such as Gabrielino/Fernandeño (Tongva) of the Los Angeles Basin proper, and Kitanemuk of the Antelope Valley. The Tataviam are thought to have inhabited the upper Santa Clara River drainage from about Piru eastwards to just beyond the Vasquez Rocks/Agua Dulce area; southwards as far as Newhall and the crests of the San Gabriel and Santa Susana Mountains; and northwards to include the middle reaches of Piru Creek, the Liebre Mountains, and the southwesternmost fringe of Antelope Valley.3 Their northern boundary most likely ran along the northern foothills of the Liebre Mountains (i.e., the edge of Antelope Valley), and then crossed to the southern slopes of the Sawmill Mountains and Sierra Pelona, extending 1 NEA, and King, Chester.

  • Los Días Pasados
    Kropp_Text.qxd 11/9/05 11:25 AM Page 19 chapter 1 Los Días Pasados Tales from Nineteenth-Century California The genesis of Anglo fascination with the Spanish pasts of Southern California arguably was the publication of Ramona in 1884. Helen Hunt Jackson’s melodramatic romance about an Indian Cinderella painted the region’s past as a sublime historical narrative—tragic, breathtaking, luxurious, and intimate. Readers were enthralled. Ramona became the most famous fiction work about Southern Califor- nia and a national bestseller, inspiring countless fans to visit the book’s picturesque setting. In the 1880s and 1890s California tourists carried their copies of Ramona along with their Baedeker travel guides. With the New Englander Jackson as a guide, wealthy easterners spent many a winter tramping up and down the landscape looking for the sites and characters of the story.1 With the onslaught of these Ramona seekers, the transformation of Southern California’s memory began. The romance-starved Americans from the East set about resurrecting the forgotten past and refashioning Southern California’s history and land- scape. Or so goes the conventional wisdom.2 However potent, Ramona was neither the first attempt to romanti- cize Southern California nor the last word on the region. Anglos did not have the first claim on an idyllic vision of the Spanish past, nor was this past an abandoned idea they suddenly rediscovered. In fact, Jackson herself relied upon earlier retellings by Californios, whose own ideal- ized construction of los días pasados, bygone days, was an altered inter- pretation of the past.3 These Spanish speakers’ nostalgia for pregringo 19 Kropp_Text.qxd 11/9/05 11:25 AM Page 20 20 Locating the Past times was itself a response to witnessing their own decline and dispos- session since the loss of the Mexican-American War, with Anglos treat- ing their presence and past on the land largely as obstacles to onrushing progress.
