1998 Earth Tech. Phase I reconnaissance survey of the 100-acre Burke Property, Travis Air Force Base, Solano County, CA.

In support of previously reviewed, approved, and implemented Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) actions, Travis Air Force Base (AFB) proposes to construct military family housing on the 101-acre Burke Property on the north side of the base. The use of the property for that purpose was previously reviewed and approved along with the other BRAC actions in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), from which this Environmental Assessment (EA) is tiered (40 CFR 1502.20). To meet the BRAC-related...

Only one prehistoric archaeological site has been identified within Travis Air Force Base (TAFB), and a recent study has questioned whether the materials recovered there are, in fact, prehistoric artifacts rather than quarry materials brought to the base more recently (Scher 2017). In an effort to provide an overview for use in ongoing Native American consultation, Far Western Anthropological Research Group, Inc., under contract to TAFB, developed site sensitivity models for both surface and...

This project contains general information about Travis Air Force Base.

Site CA-SOL-313 was located at the far western end of Travis Air Force Base, on the eastern side of the David Grant Medical Center grounds. The location was originally recorded and evaluated as a prehistoric archaeological site associated with a vernal pool and was recommended as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 (Roop et al. 1989). Data recovery was conducted at the site, as impacts from construction of the medical center could not be avoided (Roop et al....

An inventory and evaluation of archaeological and historic resources at Travis Air Force Base, which occupies an area of 5,020 acres in Solano County, California, was conducted by Argonne National Laboratory. Four off-base facilities totaling 300 acres were also included in the inventory. Existing site files and reports, historic records and maps, aerial photographs, and other sources were consulted for background information on the base and the surrounding area. A pedestrian survey of 657 acres...

During an intensive survey of a 100 acre parcel of land on the western perimeter of Travis Air Force Base, Fairfield, Solano County, Archaeological Resource Service identified two areas containing prehistoric lithic artifacts. Both of these resources consist of non-local rocks whose distribution is non-random and patterned, lying in direct association with vernal wetlands developed as a result of the shallow alluvial soils within the general project region. These sites have been issued the...

Paper presented at both the Society for California Archaeology and the Vernal Pool Society in 1981 on the archaeological investigations within Placer County on vernal pools conducted as part of an environmental impact assessment by Archaeological Resource Service.

Aerial photos of Travis Air Force Base from 1943 and 1953.

Site form and maps from the Burke Property archaeological investigation conducted on Travis Air Force Base. The site consists of a scatter of ceramic sherds, bottle glass sherds, metal fragments, tractor tires, collapsed fencing, a possible well, a wind mill or water wheel, and a concentration pf bricks in a burned area which might be the remains of a burned house. A grove of Eucalyptus trees and a single apricot tree are probably the legacy of the home site occupation also.
