Archaeological Testing at the Las Flores Site, CA-SDI-812/H, Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, California

摘要

This report presents the results of two archaeological investigations at the Las Flares site (CA-SDI-812/H). Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, California. The first study was an NRHP evaluation of archaeological deposits at the Las Flores site within the Area of Potential Effect for the Las Pulgas portion of the Sewage Treatment Transmission and Disposal Project (MCON P-529). Part I of the report is based on the field observations, geomorphological study, and technical analyses of cultural material from thirty-eight test units excavated from five different loci of SDI-812/H between October and November of 1995. The second study was an NRHP evaluation of archaeological deposits at the Las Flores Adobe Ranch House located in Locus B of SDI-812/H. Proposed grading around the perimeter of the historic Las Flores Adobe Ranch House will re-direct rainfall away from the adobe foundation in order to help preserve the structure, but will result in the disturbance of an archaeological deposit surrounding the structure. SAIC personnel excavated forty auger holes and ten excavation units in January 1998 to define the nature, structure, and research potential of the area to be affected. Part II of the present report describes the methods and results of the 1998 investigations at the ranch house.
