A Cultural Resources Survey and Evaluation of Portions of the Morongo Reservation, Riverside County, California. Volume I: Background and Interpretation

摘要

An archeological reconnaissance, and an ethnographic and ethnohistorical review of portions of the Morongo Indian Reservation was conducted. Ten cultural resources were encountered during all historic or recent in age. No prehistoric sites were located, which is probably due to the amount of disturbance the project area has undergone. Two of the historic resources merit preservation, and the actual function of the most common cultural resource encountered, the cairns, needs to be established. A limited testing program is presented for them.
