SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The City of Carlsbad (City) proposes to either replace or repair sections of pipe at two
locations: Adams Street/Highland Drive; and Hoover Street/Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Dudek
prepared this Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) at the request of the City to document
archaeological resources that might be affected by the proposed Project.
An archaeological literature and records search was conducted at the California Historical
Resources Information System (CHRIS) at the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC), for the
proposed Project in March, 2012. At least two investigations have been undertaken within the
proposed Area of Potential Effect (APE). Two prehistoric archaeological sites are located
within or adjacent to the APE.
The proposed APE was the subject of an intensive ar(:haeological survey by Dudek Senior
Archaeologist Ken Victorino in March, 2012. The APE has been disturbed by construction
activities associated with the installation of the existing corrugated metal pipe (CMP) storm
drain. Weathered shell fragments were observed in the proposed Hoover/Lagoon location.
However, the shell was observed in an area disturbed by installation of the existing CMP
storm drain and no other prehistoric cultural material such as chipped stone artifacts was
identified.
If unexpected archaeological materials are encountered during construction, work should stop
in that area until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the nature and significance of the
find. If human remains are unearthed during construction. State Health and Safety Code
Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has
made the necessary findings as to the origin and disposition of the remains pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 5097.98.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Carlsbad (City) proposes to repair and replace approximately 630 linear feet of
corrugated metal pipe (CMP) in two separate locations along the northern edge of Agua
Hedionda Lagoon in the City of Carlsbad, in San Diego County (see Figures 1 and 2). The
Project Area of Potential Effect (APE) (see Figure 3) includes areas where repair and/or
replacement of CMP will occur.
This report documents the background research. Native American consultation, and
archaeological survey conducted for the proposed Project. The report was prepared by Dudek
archaeologists David Stone, M.A., RPA, and Ken Victorino, M.A., RPA. Mr. Stone has over 30
years' experience in central and southern California and Mr. Victorino has 20 years'
experience.
2.0 PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The proposed Project area is located in Section 8 of Township 12 South, Range 4 West of the
San Luis Rey, California U.S. Geological Service (USGS) 7.5' topographic quadrangle, within
the County of San Diego (see Figure 2). The proposed Project is located in two separate
locations along the northern edge of Agua Hedionda Lagoon in the City of Carlsbad: along
Hoover Street, southwest of Adams Street, adjacent to the lagoon (Hoover/Lagoon Location)
and; at the intersection of Highland Drive and Adams Street (Highland/Adams Location). The
proposed Project is the repair and replacement of approximately 630 linear feet of CMP (see
Figure 3).
Hoover/Lagoon Location
The Hoover/Lagoon location involves repairing approximately 474 linear feet of CMP with a
cured-in-place liner and replacing approximately 24 linear feet of CMP with high-density
polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. The Hoover/Lagoon location also includes the construction of the
following components: a catch basin, storm drain cleanout, concrete drainage ditch, concrete
dike, curb, headwall, and riprap energy dissipater.

The Highland/Adams location involves replacing approximately 132 linear feet of damaged
and degraded CMP with reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). This location also includes the
construction of the following components: two catch basins; two storm drain cleanouts; a
concrete drainage swale; a concrete drainage ditch; a concrete spillway; and a riprap energy
dissipater. The APE includes areas where CMP will be repaired and replaced and other
components will be constructed.
3.0 SOURCES CONSULTED
This section describes the methods and results of the records search conducted at the
California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), and summarizes correspondence
with the Native American Heritage Commission and Native Americans regarding the proposed
project.
3.1 Cultural Resources Records Search
An archaeological site records and literature search of the California Historical Resources
Information System (CHRIS) South Coastal Information Center (SCIC), was conducted on March
26, 2012 by Nick Doose, SCIC Information Officer, to identify all recorded archaeological sites
within 1/2 mile of the proposed project area (see Appendix A). The records search identified
all known archaeological sites and historic resources, within this distance, and any previous
cultural resource surveys within the project site. The SCIC records indicate that 45
investigations have been completed within 1/2 mile of the APE. Of these, two investigations
have addressed the northern and southern portions of the Hoover/Lagoon site (Mooney 1993,
Gallegos 2003), and one has addressed the entirety of the Highland/Adams site (Mooney
1993).
Two prehistoric archaeological sites are recorded within or adjacent to the Project site: CA-
SDI-13701 encompasses the Highland/Adams Project area; and CA-SDI-18613 is located
adjacent to the southeast corner of the Hoover/Lagoon Project area.
CA-SDI-13701 (W-130)
CA-SDI-13701 was originally recorded by M. Rogers as a large shell midden (soils resulting
from the decomposition of organic food remains including shellfish, and animal meats
resulting in a darker, silty loam context) with ground and chipped stone artifacts. In 1994,
Gallegos & Associates conducted a survey for the Moffatt Parcel and identified a "relatively
undisturbed portion of the midden" with chipped and ground stone artifacts in a level area
near the top of a ridge in the western portion of the archaeological site, just south of Adams
Street and approximately 100 meters (328 feet) iaway from the proposed Project APE. Fewer
numbers of chipped and ground stone artifacts were also identified in an area just north of
the Highland Drive and Adams Street intersection and just north the proposed Project APE.
Despite this, the overall integrity of the site was recorded as poor.
In 2004, Gallegos & Associates conducted a survey of the Adams Street Property and
indicated that the archaeological deposit within the Adams Street Property project area had
been destroyed by activities associated with the construction of a concrete ditch and brick
wall, the installation of a metal fence, grading, and landscaping. Based on the disturbances
within the Adams Street Property project area and the resulting destruction of the
archaeological deposit within the Adams Street Property project area, no further
archaeological investigation including testing and/or construction monitoring for the Adams
Street Property project was recommended.
Based on the CA-SDI-13701 Archaeological Site Record, in 2006, Brian F. Smith & Associates
excavated a portion of CA-SDI-13701 located south of Adams Street, south and east of the
current Highland/Adams location and approximately 35 meters (115 feet) away from the
proposed Project APE, for the Adams Street Subdivision project. Excavations consisted of
shovel test pits and one 1x1 meter unit. The excavations indicated that the archaeological
deposit in this particular area was a result of erosion frotn archaeological deposits located up-
slope. It was determined that the archaeological deposit in this particular area lacked the
ability to answer research questions and was not eligible for listing on the California Register
of Historical Resources (CRHR). It was not considered a significant archaeological resource
according to CEQA and City of Carisbad guidelines. It therefore would not be considered
eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Adams Street
Subdivision project impacts on archaeological resources were characterized as less than
significant. No data recovery excavation program was proposed but archaeological
monitoring of construction was recommended in the event that unknown, potentially
significant resources might be encountered,during grading.
In 2009, ASM Affiliates conducted a Phase II testing program at CA-SDI-13701 as part of the
North Agua Hedionda Interceptor (NAHI) Westem Segment Realignment Project (ASM 2009).
The testing determined the portion of CA-SDI-13701 within the NAHI project area is not
eligible for listing on the CRHR or the NRHP. Archaeological and Native American monitoring
during NAHI project construction identified only sparsely scattered shell.
CA-SDI-18613 (NAHI-S-1)
CA-SDI-18613 was recorded by Gallegos & Associates in,2007 as an artifact scatter consisting
of two "battered implements" and two ground stone fragments during a survey for the NAHI
Sewer Project, adjacent to the southeast corner of the Hoover/Lagoon location. In 2009, ASM
Affiliates conducted a Phase II testing program at CA-SDI-18613 as part of the NAHI Western
Segment Realignment Project (ASM 2009). The testing determined that CA-SDI-18613
represents a secondary (disturbed and imported) deposit of prehistoric archaeological
materials, and is not eligible for listing on the CRHR or the NRHP.
3.2 Native American Consultation
A search of the Native American Heritage Commission's (NAHC) Sacred Land File was requested
on March 9, 2012, and was conducted on March 26, 2012 (Dave Singleton, NAHC Program
Analyst) to determine the presence of any Native American cultural resources within the
proposed project area (see Appendix B). The NAHC indicated that no known Native American
heritage resources are identified within the proposed project area. The NAHC identified nine
Native American contacts, both tribes and individuals, who would potentially have specific
knowledge as to whether or not other cultural resources are identified in the APE that could be
at-risk. Letters to these contacts were sent out on April 10, 2012. Table 3 summarizes this
consultation.

4.0 BACKGROUND
4.1 Environment
The project site is located along the northern edge of Agua Hedionda Lagoon, in the City of
Carlsbad. The existing environment is characterized by residential development and
undeveloped open space.
Soils within the APE consist of Carisbad gravelly loamy sand and marina loamy coarse sand.
The topography slopes southwest toward the lagoon, and elevation ranges from 0 feet mean
sea level (msl) to 80 feet above msl.
4.2 Prehistory
Various cultural sequences have been defined for coastal California and San Diego County
(e.g.. Bull 1987; Ezell 1987; Moriarty 1966; Warren 1987). For consistency, this report will
rely on a terminological sequence (i.e., Paleoindian, Archaic, Late Prehistoric).
Paleoindian Period (12,000-8,000 B.P.)
The Paleoindian period, also known as the San Dieguito complex, dates from circa 12,000 to
8,000 Before Present ("B.P.") and is typified by artifact assemblages consisting of typical
hunter-gatherer flaked lithic tools, such as scrapers, scraper planes, choppers, and large
projectile points (Davis et al. 1969; Moratto 1984; Warren 1987). A cooler and wetter climate
during this period resulted in more widespread pinion-juniper and riparian plant communities.
Sites occupied during this time suggest that the hunting of deer and smaller mammals was
central to the San Dieguito economy. Typical Paleoindian assemblages do not contain
millingstone technology.
Although no consensus has been reached among archaeologists, some information suggests
that the San Dieguito complex may have evolved into the La Jolla complex or Archaic Period
between about 9,000 and 8,000 years B.P. (Eriandson 1994). This transitional period is
supported by the presence of artifacts such as eccentric crescents and spire-ground Olivella
beads in both complexes. A "type" site that demonstrates this relationship is CA-SDI-210, a
multi-component midden site located south of Carlsbad on the north shore of Agua Hedionda
Lagoon (Moriarty 1967). In the upper levels, the nearly 2-meter-deep midden contained
milling tools attributed to the La Jolla Complex. No milling stones were found below 130
centimeters, but scrapers, choppers, and hammerstones typical of the La Jolla Complex were
found throughout all levels of the midden, and the soil profile exposed a homogeneous
deposit lacking obvious stratification. A sample of shell from the base of the midden returned
a radiocarbon date of 9020 ± 500 radiocarbon years before present.
There has been significant debate over the past two decades regarding the relationship
between sites relating to the San Dieguito complex and the later La Jolla complex. These
arguments have produced an alternative interpretation that considers both cultural
phenomena as "functional variants of a single adaptive system" (Reddy and Byrd 1997). This
hypothesis has gained support from the development of the paleocoastal model that suggests
the initial occupants of coastal California were generalized hunter-gatherers rather than big-
game specialists.
Archaic Period (8,000-2,000 B.P.)
The Archaic period (La Jolla/Pauma complex) lasted until approximately 2,000 B.P. Archaic
period adaptations are expressed in the La Jolla complex as a shift from generalized hunting
and gathering to a subsistence strategy focused on the exploitation of marine resources
(primarily shellfish and fish). Most La Jollan sites are located along the coast and major
drainage systems and are characterized by the appearance of millingstone technology (basin
metates and manos), shell middens, cobble tools, discoidals, a small number of Pinto and Elko
series points, and flexed burials. In the interior of San Diego County, Archaic adaptations are
represented by the Pauma complex (True 1958). Although the Pauma complex shares
similarities with the coastal adaptation, Pauma sites generally reflect reduced exploitation of
marine resources, contain a greater frequency of milling equipment, and have fewer
hammer/chopper and planning/scrapping tools (True and Beemer 1982). In addition,
archaeological manifestations of the Pauma complex are generally located in upland contexts,
ovel-looking drainages.
Late Prehistoric Period (2,000-200 B.P.)
The Late Prehistoric period is characterized by the introduction of ceramics and changes in
burial traditions and lithic technology. Flexed inhumations are replaced with cremation
burials, and small pressure-tiaked projectile points make an appearance. There is a shift from
littoral resource exploitation to an emphasis on inland plant (especially acorns) food
collection, processing, and storage. These changes are believed to be associated with a
migration of Yuman-speaking people from the eastern Colorado River region around 2,000
B.P. (Rogers 1945) and Shoshonean speakers after 1,500 B.P. (Moratiio 1984; True 1966).
10
During this period, inland semi-sedentary villages were established along major watercourses,
and mountain areas were seasonally occupied to exploit acorns and pinon nuts.
r
In the northern part of San Diego County, the Late Prehistoric period is represented by the
San Luis Rey complex (Meighan 1954; True et al. 1974), which is considered to represent the
Shoshonean predecessors of the Luiseno. The San Luis Rey complex is divided into two
phases: San Luis Rey I, a pre-ceramic phase lasting from circa A.D. 1400-1750 (Meighan
1954; True et al. 1974); and San Luis Rey II, a ceramic phase from A.D. 1750-1850 (Meighan
1954). The San Luis Rey II complex differs primarily in the appearance of cremation urns,
ceramics, and red and black pictographs. Ceramics may have entered into the San Diego
region as early as circa A.D. 1200-1600 (True et al. 1974), but did not become common until
the ceramic phase of the San Luis Rey complex.
True and Waugh (1982) describe a diachronic model of settlement and subsistence change
during the Late Prehistoric period of Luiseno occupation. They suggest that settlement
patterns during approximately A.D. 1-1500 were characterized by small, briefly occupied
campsites located in a variety of locations, a classic indication of what is now called a foraging
strategy. After A.D. 1500, they suggest that settlement patterns became more territorial,
focused on specific drainages, and reflected a collector-oriented strategy. Sites included
permanent villages in the western foothills and permanent summer camps in the mountains.
4.3 Ethnohlstory
A wide range of historical, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic sources provide an outiine of the
ethnohlstory of the region. Historical documents include the sacramental and census registers
(padrones) of the Franciscan missions, as well as various documents from early explorers
(e.g., Bolton's 1927 translation of the Crespi diary of the Portola Expedition). A large body of
ethnographic and ethnohistorical sources provides information on a wide range of topics
including settlement, subsistence, social organization, population size, and cosmology of the
people who lived in the region when the Spanish arrived (Bean and Shipek 1978; Earie and
O'Neil 1994; Harrington 1933, 1986; Johnson 1998; Kroeber 1925; McCawley 1995, 1996;
Rivers 1991; Sparkman 1908).
11
Cultural Affiliation
The Shoshonean inhabitants of northern San Diego County were called Luisenos by
Franciscan friars, who named the San Luis Rey River and in 1798 established the San Luis Rey
Mission in the heart of Luiseno territory. Their territory encompassed an area roughly from
Agua Hedionda Creek north to Aliso Creek on the coast, and inland to Santiago Peak and
Palomar Mountain (Bean and Shipek 1978). The Luisefio shared boundaries with the
Gabrielino and Serraiio to the west and northwest, the Cahuilla from the deserts to the east,
the Cupeno to the southeast, and the Ipai or Kumeyaay to the south. LuiseRo, Gabrielino,
Serrano, Cahuilla, and Cupeno belong to the Takic subfamily of Uto-Aztecan, but the Ipai are
classified in the Yuman language family (Bean and Shipek 1978).
Social and Settiement Organization
The Luiseiios were divided into several autonomous lineages or kin groups based on a
patrilineal and patrilocal social system. The lineage represented the basic political unit among
most southern Califomian Native Americans. The exact nature of settlement dynamics of the
Luiseno is still debated. According to Bean and Shipek (1978), the Luisefio exploited a wide
range of resources in a bimodal seasonal system. Most inland groups had fishing and
gathering sites on the coast that they visited annually when the tides were low or when inland
foods were scarce from January to March. The mountain camp was occupied by most of the
village population during October and November, when acorns were harvested and game
animals hunted. Each lineage had exclusive hunting and gathering rights in their procurement
ranges, and trespassers were seriously punished (Bean and Shipek 1978).
It has been suggested that coastal Luiseiio groups stayed along the seashore the entire year
instead of utilizing the bimodal system discussed above (Koerper 1981). Alternatively, Shipek
(1977) suggests that the Luiseno occupied permanent villages in a variety of ecological zones
and made seasonal forays to procure specific resources from particular localities.
12
Subsistence Patterns
Acorns were an important food source to the Luiseno, as they were with most inland
communities of Takic speakers in southern California. Acorns were collected in the fall and
then stored in either conical shaped granaries or in ceramic storage pots (McCawley 1995). It
is unclear how important acorns were to the coastal inhabitants, but many researchers believe
that these nuts may have composed up to 25 percent of the diet (Bean and Shipek 1978;
Earle and O'Neil 1994; White 1963). Coastal groups may have visited more interior areas
during harvest time or may have exchanged goods with more inland residents in order to
acquire enough acorns for the community.
Besides acorns, people utilized various seeds, greens, bulbs, roots, and fruits. This includes a
wide variety of cacti and even edible reeds. The greens may have been an important
springtime food, when other supplies were relatively scarce. Edible reeds could have provided
a supplementary resource during times of food scarcity, such as late winter. Bean and Shipek
(1978) believe seeds provided a large bulk of the nutritional needs of the people. They
mention the use of grass seeds, manzanita, sunflower, sage, chia, lemonade berry, wild rose,
holly-leaf cherry, prickly pear, lamb's-quarters, and pine nuts.
The Luiseno hunted large and small terrestrial game, including black-tailed deer, pronghorn,
jackrabbits, various birds, grasshoppers, and rodents. Deer were hunted with bow and arrow,
captured in snares, or driven off cliffs (McCawley 1995). Smaller mammals, such as rabbits
and rodents, were hunted with bow and arrows, throwing sticks, snares, traps, and draw
nets. McCawley (1995), however, lists a series of animals that were not eaten by the Luiseno
during pre-mission times. This list includes tree squirrels, wild pigeons or doves, dogs,
coyotes, foxes, wolves, badgers, skunks, raccoons, wildcats, gophers, moles, eagles,
buzzards, crows, hawks, owls, mockingbirds, lizards, snakes, rattlesnakes, turtles, tortoises,
frogs, and toads.
Fish and other marine animals played an important dietary role to the people living along the
coast. Fishing equipment included bone and shell fishhooks, yucca fishing line, and
detachable-point harpoons (McCawley 1995). In addition, coastal groups used dugout or rush
13
bundled canoes (Earie and O'Neil 1994; Harrington 1986; McCawley 1995). Such crafts would
have given the coastal inhabitants access to offshore fishing grounds. In addition to fish, the
coastal groups subsisted off of a wide variety of locally available shellfish, marine mammals,
and crustaceans (Bean and Shipek 1978).
4.4 History
First contact between Europeans and the Luiseno came in 1769 with the arrival of Caspar de
Portola's expedition. The expedition was traveling between San Diego and Monterey in order
to investigate possible mission sites (Rivers 1991). Mission San Juan Capistrano was
established in 1776, the seventh of California's 21 missions. Mission San Luis Rey was
founded 22 years later as the eighteenth mission (Rivers 1991). By 1830, the holdings of
Mission San Luis Rey included San Onofre, Santa Margarita, San Marcos, Pala, Temecula, San
Jacinto, Agua Caliente, and Las Flores (Brigandi 1982, revised 1995).
Fifty Luiseino villages, each with a population of about 200 people (a total population of
10,000), are estimated to have been populated at the time of Spanish contact (White 1963).
The mission records registered 3,683 Luiseno in 1828 (Bean and Shipek 1978), indicating a
drastic decrease. Earie and O'Neil (1994) have recently recalculated population estimates
based on mission sacramental register information, and they suggest this decline was not
quite as great. Whatever the case, the Luisefio clearly suffered a catastrophic decline in
population from introduced European diseases as well as living conditions under the mission
system. The Native American populations under the jurisdiction of the San Luis Rey Mission,
however, fared better than most California mission communities (Hornbeck 1983; Jackson
1994; Johnson 1998).
The indigenous communities brought into the mission system were taught the Roman Catholic
faith, Spanish language, farming skills, animal husbandry, adobe brickmaking, carpentry, and
other European crafts (Bean and Shipek 1978). The policy at Mission San Luis Rey was to
maintain the Luiseiio settlement pattern, and priests visited the villages to hold masses,
perform marriages, and supervise agricultural activities. Although, for the most part,
traditional economic methods continued as the basic subsistence mode and leadership
14
continued as it had always been, ethnohistoric data and new information indicate that a major
cattle ranch operation was in place earlier than 1810 (Cagle et al. 1996). The policy at Mission
San Luis Rey of less-direct or minimal interference was probably one of the reasons that the
local communities in the area of California saw less-devastating population decreases than in
other mission communities. The Luisenos social and political organization was drastically and
forever changed by the policies of missionization (McCawley 1995, 1996).
In 1834, the missions were secularized, resulting in political imbalance and Native American
revolts and uprisings against the Mexican rancheros, who used the local populations as
indentured labor. In theoty, this secularization was supposed to act as a transition from
mission-controlled to Native American-controlled pueblos (McCawley 1996). This would allow
the missions to continue developing new territories in more inland areas while leaving the
"Christianized" Native Americans in charge of their original holdings. In reality, the
secularization movement allowed self-aggrandizing individuals, mostly Mexican citizens, to
control the wealth of vast amounts of lands. By 1845, Pio Pico, temporary governor of
California and last governor of Mexican California, and his family acquired over 133,000 acres
of land, including San Onofre, Santa Margarita, and Las Flores (Rivers 1991).
At this time, many Luiserio left the missions and sought refuge among inland groups, while a
few acquired land grants and entered into the mainstream Mexican culture. Several local
pueblos were established for some of the San Luis Rey rancherias, among them Santa
Margarita and Las Flores by the Mexican government. These pueblos were intended to be
governmental units within the Mexican political system. Most, like Las Flores and Santa
Margarita, disappeared under Mexican rancho rule.
5.0 FIELD METHODS
The APE incorporates all of the proposed construction areas associated with the proposed
Project. The Phase 1 pedestrian survey of proposed Project areas was conducted March 13,
2012 by Dudek Senior Archaeologist Ken Victorino, M.A., RPA, using3-meter (9.8-foot)
meandering transect intervals.
15
Hoover/Lagoon Location
At the northeast corner of the Hoover Street and Adams Street intersection, where the catch
basin, concrete drainage ditch, concrete dike, and curb will be constructed, ground surface
visibility was excellent (90 to 100 percent). This area has been disturbed by activities
associated with installation of a fire hydrant and fire water line, installation of a wood
power/utility pole, and construction of a storm drain and curb.
Along Hoover Street where the CMP will be repaired with a cured-in-place liner, ground
surface visibility was fair to good (10 to 90 percent). This area has been disturbed by
activities associated with the installation of the existing CMP. Approximately 20 to 30 pieces
of weathered shell, mainly Venus clam {Chione spp.) roughly 74- to y2-inch in size, were
observed on the ground surface. No other prehistoric archaeological materials such as bone,
chipped stone artifacts, or ground stone artifacts were identified. Examination of rodent holes
and backdirt piles did not reveal any shell or darkened/discolored soil. Modern trash,
including white ceramic tile, and imported gravel was observed on the ground surface in
association with the shell.
Ground surface visibility was fair (10 to 50 percent) in the undeveloped open space between
Hoover Street and Agua Hedionda Lagoon, where CMP will be replaced with HDPE pipe and a
storm drain cleanout, headwall, and riprap energy dissipater will be constructed,. This area
has been disturbed by activities associated with the installation of the existing CMP. Silt
fences and straw wattles have been installed to control erosion in this area, suggesting that
this area has been previously graded. Approximately 10 pieces of weathered shell were
observed on the ground surface. Again, no other prehistoric archaeological materials were
identified. An approximately 3-foot high bank along the shore of the lagoon was examined.
No prehistoric archaeological materials or darkened/discolored soils were identified.
Highland/Adams Location
The Highland/Adams location has been disturbed by activities associated with the installation
of the existing CMP. The area north of Highland Drive where the concrete drainage ditch.
,16
catch basin, and concrete drainage swale will be constructed has been disturbed by activities
associated with construction of a 3- to 4-foot high retaining wall. Areas where RCP will be
installed and a storm drain cleanout constructed within Highland Drive and Adams Street has
been disturbed by the installation of underground utilities. A storm drain cleanout and riprap
energy dissipater will be constructed at the base of a gravel covered slope south of Adams
Street. Based on the surrounding topography, this area appears to have been filled for the
construction of Adams Street. This area has also been disturbed by erosion and scouring
from the existing CMP outiet. No prehistoric archaeological materials were identified.
6.0 STUDY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The intensive survey of the Project APE identified weathered, small shell fragments within the
Hoover/Lagoon location. However, no other prehistoric archaeological materials such as
chipped stone artifacts or ground stone artifacts were observed. Disturbances associated
with installation of the existing CMP storm drain have most likely destroyed any intact
archaeological materials. These observations are consistent with previous archaeological
investigation conclusions. The shellfish fragments may be associated with the previously
recorded archaeological site CA-SDI-18613. They are located within soils that have been
disturbed as a result of installation of the existing CMP. The shellfish fragments therefore do
not display integrity of location. The loss of this integrity compromises the ability of the
sparse shell fragments to address criteria for eligibility for listing on the CRHR and NRHP.
Specifically, the disturbed shellfish fragments:
(A) Are not associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the
broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage;
(B) Are not associated with the lives of persons important in our past;
(C) Do not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method
of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or
possesses high artistic values; or
(D) Have not yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or
history.

Given the reliable conditions characterizing the present intensive archaeological survey, no
further investigations are needed to determine the potential existence of CRHR- or NRHP-
eligible properties in the Project APE.

Unidentified Cultural Materials
If previously unidentified archaeological materials are unearthed during construction, work
should be halted in that area until a qualified archaeologist can assess the significance of the
find.
