VAFB-2005-02: Archaeological Investigations in Support of the Missile Transport Bridge on Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County, CA

Summary
This report documents archaeological studies at CA-SBA-1036, -1037, -1172/704, 1565, and -2448. All five sites are located along El Rancho Road as it crosses San Antonio Creek on Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) (Figures 1-1 and 1-2). El Rancho Road is a crucial primary transportation route on North Vandenberg AFB, providing necessary redundant access for mission-related activities. However, sedimentation has raised the level of the San Antonio Creek streambed and severely reduced the flood capacity of the existing El Rancho Road Bridge. Recent winter storms have intermittently forced closure of the road due to flooding, thereby reducing access to Air Force facilities north of the creek. Furthermore, the secondary access route to North Base, San Antonio Road West, also is threatened during severe winter storms.
