VAFB-2020-36: Assessment of Archaeological Site Conditions on Vandenberg Air Force Base Fiscal Year 2019: Zones 1 and 2

Summary

This document is an Assessment of Archaeological Site Conditions on Vandenberg Air Force Base for the Fiscal Years of 2019 for Zones 1 and 2. This report documents site conditions in Zones 1 and 2. Applied EarthWorks archaeologists examine sites in both subzones in each zone. The scope of work calls for preparing updated site records for all sites with boundary changes. Those updates were completed for 41 sites; the updated records, including maps, are included in Appendix B. 404 sites are recorded within Zones 1 and 2. Three of those were found and recorded during the current site condition assessment fieldwork. In many cases, the sites were inaccessible due to dense brush or unsafe conditions. In a few cases, the sites could not be relocated due to discrepancies between the GIS plotted location and the site record maps. As part of developing a score that quantifies site condition, both the severity and the corresponding ongoing rate are assigned numerical values. For each agent affecting site condition, the severity and the ongoing rate of degradation are multiplied together.
