VAFB-1987-04: Cultural Resources Survey of Proposed Small Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and Peacekeeper Rail Garrison Test Areas, San Antonio Terrace, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California
Year: 1987
Summary
A cultural resources survey and archival study of areas on VAFB proposed for expansion of testing facilities for Small Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and the Peacekeeper Rail Garrison programs was conducted. Eighteen archaeological sites were identified during the survey of approximately 1100 acres. This brings to 39 the total number of sites known to exist in the three survey areas. Most of the sites represent camps or projectile-point preparation locations used by prehistoric hunters in the dune environment of San Antonio Terrace. Of the 39 sites, 17 are evaluated as eligible for the NRHP. It is recommended that a National Register district be formed to more efficiently manage cultural resources which could be affected by the proposed undertaking. Test facility planning and design should take into account the locations of these 17 sites.
