This letter represents Statistical Research, Inc’s (SRI) report on archaeological excavations in the parking lot berm at CA-RIV-2798/H (herein referred to as RIV-2798/H). SRI conducted its research in accordance with the Settlement and Release Agreement entered into by the Temecula Band of Luiseno Indians (also referred to as the Pechanga Indians) and the City of Lake Elsinore. This report is divided into six sections; project history, terms of the agreement, field methods, site conditions,...

Nine column samples from a midden deposit at site CA-VEN-1 in southern California were floated to recover macrofloral remains. This site has been dated from the Early Period to the Late Period. Samples were collected from various levels in a 1-x-1 meter unit excavated in the vicinity of the landing for the platform steps on the west side of the site in order to evaluate the subsistence strategy for the site occupants.

Samples from features at sites CA-SBR-5568/H, CA-SBR-10073, CA-SBR-10074, CASBR-10075, CA-SBR-10078, and CA-SBR-12464 in southern California were processed for macrofloral remains and examined using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR). In addition, charcoal from CA-SBR-5568/H was submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis. Sites CA-SBR-10073, CA-SBR-10074, and CA-SBR-10075 represent prehistoric vegetation processing and lithic reduction activity areas that appear to have been seasonally...

The floated light fractions of seven samples from five sites for the Elk Hills Project in Kern County, southern California, were examined for macrofloral remains. One botanic sample aIso was sent for identification. Identification of macrofloral remains will be used to provide information concerning subsistence activities and possible seasonality, as well as to evaluate the potential for obtaining this type of information from additional macrofloral samples. Three chert flakes exhibiting...

Feature fill, charcoal, or lithic artifacts were recovered from seven sites in the Off-Road Vehicle area at Edwards Air Force Base in southern California. These sites are being evaluated for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places. Macrofloral analysis of fill from two hearths is used to provide information concerning possible plant resources processed in the hearths. Charcoal recovered from a test unit will be identified to determine types of wood burned as fuel. Lithic...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The expected societal roles of African American men in the past have been discussed across a variety of fields, including masculinity studies, ethnic studies, and Black feminist studies. Included in the literature are discrepancies about the influence of the dominant white hegemonic masculinity and its role in creating an ideal...

Five samples from an overlying peat and underlying silt and mud layers within the most recent surface rupture at the Burro Flats Trench Site northeast of the town of Banning in Southern California were submitted for pollen analysis. The analysis was performed in order to determine whether the rupture can be associated with the 1812 Wrightwood earthquake or the Coachella Valley earthquake, circa 1700.

Pollen analysis of four adobe blocks from Pio Pico's El Ranchito was designed to place these adobe bricks in their proper historical perspective. Three of the adobe bricks were from areas of the site with known building episodes. The fourth brick was from an adobe that was part of a wall that was not securely dated. Pollen analysis was undertaken in an effort to compare the pollen records of these individual bricks and assign a date for the fourth date based on its similarity to one of the...

Samples from midden deposits at prehistoric site CA-SDI-10,920, along the shoreline of Lake Hodges in southern California, were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. This site contains milling features, midden deposits, and numerous surface artifacts. The milling features yielded 64 milling elements including slicks, mortars, and cupules. Pollen and macrofloral analyses of the midden deposits will be used to provide information concerning plant resources available to and utilized by...

Soil samples from unit fill and a probable hearth at CA-SDI-12,770 for the 4S Ranch Project in southern California were examined for pollen remains. These two samples also served as soil controls for a biface and an Elko projectile point examined for possible protein residues. This site represents a temporary campsite with a surface lithic scatter and a subsurface cultural deposit containing three features and numerous artifacts.

Samples from eight archaeological sites located along Santa Maria Creek in Oak Country Estates, southern California, were examined for pollen and/or protein residue. Four stratigraphic pollen columns were examined to provide evidence concerning vegetation from the time of prehistoric occupation until present. In addition, several pieces of ground stone and flaked lithics were examined for evidence of food processing or procurement. Radiocarbon ages, ranging from 1800 BP to 1000 BP and...

Samples from two test units at Site CA-LAN-1702 in Edwards Air Force Base, southern California, were examined for pollen, macrofloral remains, and/or possible protein residues. This site contained an unusually large amount of burned bones, a possible milling stone, and lithic artifacts. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the occupants of this site. Protein residue analysis of soil from an organic layer will be examined for...

Eight bulk soil samples from the Bradbury Dam slurry wall trench in the bed of the Santa Ynez River, southern California, were floated to recover macrofloral remains, especially potentially radiocarbon datable material. The sample from Station 5+10 spoil also was examined for pollen and phytoliths. The Santa Ynez River is believed to have experienced periodic episodes of swamping due to local tectonic activity that drops the level of the river bed and slows the flow of the river. In...

Soil samples and groundstone from Sites Ca-SDI-10637, CA SDI-9605, and CA-LAN-92 were examined for pollen, phytoliths, macrofloral remains, and/or protein residues. Sites Ca-SDI- 10637 and CA-SDI-9605 are part of the Torrey Pines State Reserve Project, and these sites yielded radiocarbon dates that suggest Late Period occupations. Early Milling Stone Horizon dates were obtained from Site CA-LAN-92 at Leo Carrillo State Beach near Malibu, California. Pollen, phytolith, and macrofloral...

A small site located during grading for Polygon Communities, Inc., contained three discrete loci of blackened rocks and soil with broken tools. Blackened rocks, a mano, and soil control samples were recovered from Feature 1 and submitted for analysis. Pollen, phytolith, starch granule, and protein residue analyses were conducted in an effort to define economic activities associated with Feature 1 and to identify activities that lead to the blackened rock remains.

A crescent artifact and a soil control sample from the Audie Murphy Site (CA-RIV-6858) in southern California were examined for phytoliths and possible protein residues to determine plants and possible animals that might have been processed using this tool. Pollen analysis was conducted on the soil control sample to recover an environmental signature. The site is located on several apexes of a hill approximately one mile south-southwest of Sun City on an elevated landform. A single...

Samples from the fill of fire-altered rock and shell features at Site CA-SDI-4281 in southern California near the Mexican border were examined for pollen, starches, and macrofloral remains. In addition, pollen/starch samples were recovered from a column through a single 120 cm deep unit. Three groundstone and three projectile points were analyzed for the presence of protein and organic residues, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Conventional radiocarbon dates...

Pollen, phytolith, starch, and protein residue analyses were conducted on artifacts recovered in association with burials at site CA-ORA-263 in southern California, as well as on the soil control samples associated with these artifacts collected from midden sediments. An isolated basin metate at site CA-ORA-264 and a soil control from the basin fill also were examined for pollen, starches, phytoliths, and possible protein residues. These analyses were undertaken to be able to more fully...
