ABSTRACT:
This report provides the results of a cultural resource literature review, record search and
field survey of the Pacifica Califomia property in the city of Carlsbad. The property, a
20-acre parcel, is located to the south of Palomar Airort Road and on either side of Laurel
Tree Road. The property consists of a terrace adjacent to a creek. Visibility was poor to
fair over most of the property at the time of survey. The entire property was disturbed
and recently graded. No cultural resources were identified within the project area by the
literature review, record search, or the field survey. As a result, no further work is
recommended.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
This study presents the results of a cultural resources survey of Pacifica Carlsbad,
Califomia. Planned development of this 20-acre property includes the constmction of
two three-story multi-tenant office units, in addition to the corporate headquarters of
Pacifica Carlsbad.
This study was completed in compliance with Carlsbad and Califomia Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) guidehnes. The cultural resource survey includes: updating the
SCIC and Museum of Man record search and literature at the South Coastal Information
Center, SDSU; field survey of the project area; and, the preparation of a report of finding.
1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The property, located south of Airport Road in Carlsbad, consists of two parcels of land
(Figures 1-1 and 1-2). The larger parcel (Parcel A), 15.69-acres in extent, is located east
of Laurel Tree Road, inmiediately south of Airport Road. It is bordered on the south and
east by Canyon de las Encinas. The smaller property is located to the west of Laurel Tree
Road, and is bordered to the south by Flame Tree Lane, on the west by College Blvd and
on the north Canyon de las Encinas.
The project topography consists of a flat terrace adjacent to the drainage at an elevation
of 100 ft. Both parcels have been heavily graded in recent years. The property may
have been cultivated but is presently fallow. Vegetation consists of non-native grasses.
Some riparian vegetation and trees are found adjacent to the creek, but outside the project
boundary.

Much of the surface of Parcel B is covered with large mounds of mulch, resulting in poor
visibility. The exposed surfaces were heavily disturbed and graded. A dirt road connects
the end of Laurel Tree Road to recently constmcted houses to the south.
1.3 BACKGROUND - PREIHSTORY
San Diego County was occupied as early as 9,000 years ago. The occupation from 9,000
to 1,300 years ago is identified here as the Early Period or Archaic Period. This period
includes sites typed as San Dieguito, La Jolla and Pauma complexes. These people
hunted, fished, milled plant foods, and collected and processed shellfish. Archaeological
sites reflecting this occupation include coastal shell habitation sites, inland hunting and
milling campsites, and quarry sites. San Dieguito and La Jolla/Pauma Complex are
believed to be of the same cultural stock, representing one long period of occupation
from circa 9,000 to 1,300 years ago.
Occupation after 1,300 years ago (Late Period) is well documented by the numerous
Kumeyaay/Diegueno and Luiseno habitation sites. Artifacts and cultural patterns
reflecting this Late Period occupation include small projectile points, pottery, obsidian
from Obsidian Butte, and cremations. The project area falls near the Kumeyaay/Luiseno
boundary as described by Kroeber (1925).
1.4 RECORD SEARCH AND LITERATURE REVIEW RESULTS
Twenty-six previous cultural resource surveys and tests have been carried out within a
one-mile radius of the project area (Carrico and Gallegos 1984; Cheever and Gallegos
1987; Dolan et al. 1996; Fink 1974; Gallegos 1992; Gallegos and Kyle 1988a, 1988b,
1992; Gallegos and Pigniolo 1988a, 1988b, 1989; Gallegos et al. 1999; Gallegos and
Stmdwick 1992; Hector 1985, 1988a, 1988b; Recon 1984; SRS 1982a, 1982b, 1982c,
1983; Wade and Hector 1986, 1988; WESTEC 1982, 1987; and Whitehouse and Hector
1989). A cultural resources survey conducted on a portion of Palomar Airport Road
(Cheever and Gallegos 1987), included a portion of the present project area. No cultural
resources were identified.
PJ. 6-00 1-4
April 2000
The record search identified a total of forty prehistoric sites with a one-mile radius of the
property. No cultural resources were identified within the project area
No historic properties listed in the National Register of Historic Properties, Califomia
Register, Califomia State Landmarks, Califomia Points of Historic Interest or other
historic lists were identified within a one-mile radius of the property on the GEOfinder
historic database maintained at the South Coastal Information Center, SDSU.

SECTION 2
SURVEY METHODS, RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
2.1 FIELD CONDITIONS AND METHODS
The property was surveyed on March 21, 2000 by Larry Tift and Sinead Nf Ghabhlain.
The entire area was surveyed on foot using 10 to 12-meter transects.
Visibility over much of the project area was fair to poor. Non-native grasses covered all
of Parcel A, while mounds of mulch covered much of the surface area of Parcel B. Areas
of good visibility and recently graded areas were closely examined. Both parcels were
disturbed. Parcel A had been graded and fragments of building debris were noted during
survey. Parcel B had been recently graded and mounds of bulldozed dirt were visible. A
dirt road transected the parcel from the end of the paved Laurel Tree Road to a new
housing development.
2.2 RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
No prehistoric or historic cultural resources were identified within the project area.
Given the negative results of the literature review, record search and field survey, no
further work is recommended.
