VAFB-1988-16: Archaeological Investigations at SBA-594: Survey, Testing, and Mitigation

Author(s): Larry A. Carbone

Year: 1988

Summary

Before testing and mitigation fieldwork was undertaken at CA-SBA-594 during Phase II of the Peacekeeper Rail Garrison program, it was noted that surface artifact distributions differed from those reported in previous survey and site record forms from 1979. This discrepancy no doubt came about from shifting dune activity exposing alternate areas of site materials through time. As well as distributional variance, surface frequencies appeared higher than initially reported at Locus I adjacent and west of existing El Rancho Oeste Road, and two new Loci (II&III) were visible on the east side of El Rancho Oeste Road just north and south of Wetland 36. It is noteworthy, considering prehistoric occupation logistics, that contrary to observations ten years previously, no pond was visible in the wetland swale.
