26-49 (49 Records)
The Admiralty site (CA-LAn-47) lies at the edge of the historic Ballona Lagoon. Situated between the mouths of Ballona and Centinela creeks and the Pacific Ocean, the region known as the Ballona was a sheltered environment that hosted a diverse array of terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals. The seasonal rhythms of the lagoon marched in harmony with the never-ending tug-of-war between the ebb and flow of the oceanic tides and the freshwater emptied from the mouths of rivers and streams....

MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE MC-1, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2015)
Site MC-1 lies in the city of Agoura Hills, Los Angeles County, California. Two sediment samples, collected from a test unit placed approximately 50 meters from Medea Creek, were submitted for macrofloral analysis to recover and identify plants used by site occupants. Radiocarbon analysis conducted on material recovered from the test unit provided two sets of age ranges suggesting occupation between AD 1455–1645 (70–80 cmbd) and AD 1650–post 1950 (10–20 cmbd)(Breana Campbell, personal...

PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM THE VALENTINE CACHE #3 SITE (05-01-53-377), LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2013)
The Valentine Cache #3 Site (05-01-53-377), located in southwestern Los Angeles County, California, consists of five granitic stone circular features. These features are believed to be associated with caching activities, possibly acorn harvesting. Two soil samples from the center of one of the rock ring features (Feature B, Quadrant 2) were submitted for phytolith, starch, and macrofloral analyses to identify plants associated with function, type, and method of construction for these features,...
PHYTOLITH, STARCH, MACROFLORAL, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSES OF SAMPLES FROM THE HAY-1 SITE (FS-050155229), LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2011)
Fill samples from two prehistoric hearths and a rock alignment at the Hay-1 site, FS-050155229, in Los Angeles County, California, were examined for phytoliths, starches, macrofloral remains, and organic residues. The organic residues were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). This site contains both historic and prehistoric components, and the prehistoric component includes a lithic scatter with groundstone, flaked stone tools, boulder milling features, and a quartzite...
PHYTOLITH, STARCH, ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR), AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES, CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM SITE PL-SCE-SEG6-08, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2012)
A single sediment sample from the upper fill of a heated rock feature at site PL-SCESEG6-08 in Los Angeles County, California, was examined for phytoliths, starch, macrofloral remains, and organic residues, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), to look for evidence of foods that might have been processed in this feature. Charcoal from the feature also was identified and submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating to provide temporal information. This feature contained...

PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF GROUND STONE ARTIFACTS FROM SITE CA-SCLI-43, SAN CLEMENTE ISLAND, CALIFORNIA (2000)
Two groundstone artifacts from site CA-SCLI-43 on San Clemente Island, California were analyzed for possible protein residues. Protein residue analysis had been conducted previously in another laboratory on both groundstone artifacts; however, neither of these groundstone appeared to have been washed prior to being accepted at Paleo Research. In addition, neither artifact was accompanied with a formal soil control sample; therefore, small soil controls were generated from the small amount of...

Technical Report Legacy of Pancho Barnes Oral History Program (1994)
The ranch Florence Lowe Barnes (Pancho Barnes) owned and operated (which is now part of Edwards Air Force Base [AFB]) was a focal point for entertainment, social activity, and comradery. Many prominent individuals involved with historic flight test programs and projects went there for relaxation. In 1954, Pancho's home was destroyed by a fire that resulted in the annihilation of a large portion of her personal archives and artifacts. Consequently, one option to preserve crucial historical and...
