VAFB-1982-07: Results of Archaeological Subsurface Testing at SBa-1149 (Prehistoric), for the GSSI Project at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California
Author(s): Robert O. Gibson
Year: 1982
Summary
This document is a technical report discussing a series of 12 shovel test pits excavated along both sides of Coast Road on Vandenberg Air Force Base. The test pits are adjacent to CA-Sba-1149H and yielded 8 chert flakes that were recovered on the west side of the road, within the area recently cleared of brush. Preliminary surface examination indicate a prehistoric archaeological site exists adjacent to the historic site.
The majority of debitage <20 mm was deemed "natural" based on a combination of cortex, patina, burning, and absence of striking platforms or bulbs of percussion. No differentiation between "natural" flakes and shatter or any lithic category other than formal flakes, so remains unclear if what they observed was in fat anthropological.
