This document is a report that details the stratigraphic findings of the Honda Ridge Pilot Project, beginning with a background on the Honda Ridge rock art site and three proposed site use interpretations proposed by researchers. Recent stratigraphic analysis applications in rock art research are discussed, followed by an explanation of the Shumla Archaeological Research and Education Center’s digital microscopy methods and stratigraphic analysis process, and how these methods were adapted to...
VAFB-2018-21: Appendix D - Microscopic Analyses of Wildfire Effects to the Honda Ridge Rock Art Panel, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, Contract No. XUMU OS 100316, USACE-Omaha Task Order 14 (2018)
In September 2016, the Canyon Fire burned approximately 12,742 acres on southern Vandenberg Air Force Base. The wildfire impacted three rock art sites, but most negatively affected the Honda Ridge rock art site (CA-SBA-550). The northeastern side of the pictograph panel took the brunt of the fire impacts, resulting in extensive carbon deposits, micro- and macro spalling, and possibly host rock discoloration (Murphy 2017). This study, more broadly situated within the Honda Ridge Pilot Project,...
