The Archaeology and Rock Art of Swordfish Cave

California Archaeology, 2016

Aptly named for a prominent pictograph contained within it, Swordfish Cave is a compelling space ... more Aptly named for a prominent pictograph contained within it, Swordfish Cave is a compelling space that is sacred to Chumash Native Americans. In the 1990s, accelerated deterioration of both painted and carved rock art in this shallow cave prompted Vandenberg Air Force Base to initiate a project to stabilize the cave and protect the rock art after consultation with the Tribal Elders Council of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. Drainage improvement and the establishment of a public viewing area were both pursued with the end goal of protecting the pictographs, yet these efforts simultaneously produced an opportunity for data recovery at the cave. The Archaeology and Rock Art of Swordfish Cave reports on three field seasons of data recovery and stabilization efforts at this locale. In preparing this volume, Applied EarthWorks, Inc. well exceeds the minimum standards of cultural resource management and environmental compliance. Lebow, Harro, and McKim discuss broad and thorough results in a scientifically rigorous manner. The authors succeed in presenting and interpreting a compendium of technical results in this single volume written to be accessible to a wide audience of scholars and professionals. Omitting introductory and summary chapters, the following describes primarily data-oriented chapters. In Chapter 3, the authors recount the data recovery and analytic methods employed in the 1997, 1999, and 2002 field seasons, as well as stabilization procedures utilized in the latter two seasons. The researchers attempt to place artifacts recovered during these operations within what Schiffer (1972) famously deemed their “systemic context,” relating these items to their manufacture completeness and source materials. Chapter 4 synthesizes the chronological data from radiocarbon dating and the associations of temporally diagnostic artifacts. These data are presented in relationship to predominant proposed regional chronologies, relating the Swordfish Cave sequence to broader contemporaneous cultural processes.

Final Programmatic Environmental Assessment: Demolition and Abandonment of Atlas and Titan Facilities Vandenberg Air Force Base, California

Buildings proposed for demolition or abandonment are located -throughout Vandenberg AFB. Twenty-eight (28) buildings are located on North Vandenberg AFB and 35 buildings are located on South Vandenberg AFB. The Proposed Action would entail the total above grade demolition, complete abandonment, or partial demolition and partial abandonment of specific structures at each of the buildings. The degree to which a building is demolished to above grade and then abandoned depends on the type of building and would be determined at the time of implementation of the Proposed Action.

Archaeological Data Recovery and Removal of Stabilization Measures at CA-SBA-698

This document is a Section 110 Archaeological Data Recovery and Removal of Stabilization Measures... more This document is a Section 110 Archaeological Data Recovery and Removal of Stabilization Measures at CA-SBA-698. The purpose of this Archaeological Study is to evaluate the eligibility of CA-SBA-698 for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Based on midden characteristics observed on the surface and in exposed erosional profiles, the site is likely to contain information important to the understanding of prehistory and retain sufficient contextual integrity to qualify for listing.

Archaeological Investigations Supporting Section 106 Compliance for the ABL Space Systems RS-1 Project at Launch Complex 576-E Vandenberg Air Force Base Santa Barbara County, California

This document is an Archaeological Investigation in Support of Section 106 Compliance for the ABL... more This document is an Archaeological Investigation in Support of Section 106 Compliance for the ABL Space Systems RS-1 Project at Launch Complex 576-E at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Santa Barbara County, California. The Project proposes to operate the ABL Space Systems RS1 launch vehicle at the existing, decommissioned Launch Complex 576-E (LC 576-E) on Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) in Santa Barbara County, California. Applied EarthWorks delineated the Area of Direct Impact. The Archaeological Study Area (ASA) was defined as the ADI plus a 100-meter buffer and the entirety of any cultural resource within or intersected by the ADI. Background research initially indicated that six archaeological sites existed within the (Archaeological Study Area (ASA). Surface survey and subsurface testing revealed that CA-SBA-TMP6 and -TMP 8 do not contain archaeological material and therefore are not archaeological sites. CA-SBA-907, -2429, -2429, and -2430 were plotted incorrectly, likely during th...
