Summary
CA-LAN-1, the Tank Site, located in Topanga State Park has been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. This paper will summarize the unique approach for the nomination because it considers eligibility for the site under both Criteria A and D. The Tank Site is eligible under Criterion A as an event because a major scientific discovery was made there during the archaeological field investigations from 1947-1960. The Tank Site is also eligible under Criterion D due to the fact that it has yielded and still may yield important information about the prehistory of this region of California.
