VAFB-1990-21b: Archaeological Investigations on Vandenberg Air Force Base in Connection with the Development of Space Transportation System Facilities, Volume II
Author(s): Michael A. Glassow
Year: 1990
Summary
This report presents the results of archaeological investigations on Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), undertaken to mitigate the impacts to three archaeological sites by construction of a shuttlecraft tow route. Included in the analysis of data from these sites are selected data from earlier test excavations at eight other sites near the three that are the main focus of analysis. Analysis and interpretations emphasize reconstruction of subsistence-settlement systems through more than 8500 years of prehistory, while ancillary attention is given to artifact manufacture, particularly of flaked stone tools, and economic exchange with neighboring regions. Identified changes in subsistence and settlement through prehistory appear to be related to environmental changes and population growth.
