Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 85 KUIKEN, Garrett California State University, Channel Islands see DEOLIVEIRA, Lauren KURI, Samanth J. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo see CERLES, Erica L. LA PIERRE, Kish California State University, Bakersfield Rock Alignments, Cairns, and Artifact Caches at the Mirror Point Site (CA-SBR-12134/H), East Searles Lake in the Western Mojave Desert, San Bernardino County, CA • Symposium 9 (De Anza North); Friday, 1:30 PM The intent of this research was to investigate prehistoric architecture, thus rock features (and associated artifacts), of the western Mojave Desert and even more specifically at the Mirror Point Site (CA-SBR-12134/H). Over 100 rock alignments and cairns were discovered and recorded at this site. In addition, many of these rock features contained artifact caches. Several types of analyses were conducted on data collected and this paper presents the results and offers some insight regarding site function. LA ROSE, Douglas Joseph Laguna Mountain Environmental. Inc Hooked on Fishing: Evidence for Fishhook Manufacture and Use at the Spindrift Site in La Jolla, California • General Session 5 (Victoria South); Friday, 2:00 PM Debates surrounding the role of fishing along the southern California coast have involved the classifications of subsistence patterns. Fishhooks are known to have been an important technology along California’s central coast and the Channel Islands, while very few fishhooks have been identified in the San Diego area. This study examines the presence of several fishhook blanks and fishhook fragments found at the Spindrift Site in La Jolla, California. A discussion of the quantities and types of fish bones and a discussion of hunter-gatherer-fisher groups is held within the prehistoric regional economic system of southern California. LANGE, Fredrick LSA Associates, Inc./UC Santa Barbara Applying the Interaction Sphere Concept to Ancient Lake Cahuilla • Symposium 3 (De Anza South); Thursday, 3:45 PM Large-scale cultural resources inventories related to alternate energy projects in Riverside and Imperial Counties repeatedly focus directly or indirectly on the former roles of Ancient Lake Cahuilla, and the present-day Salton Sea, as centers of regional patterns of prehistoric human behavior. The simplest dynamic model for past human behavior is that when the lake filled up, populations descended to the shoreline and when the lake dried up, these populations retreated to the surrounding mountains. Obviously the regional model is more complex and the interaction sphere seems the most adequate model for integrating multiple dynamic natural and cultural variables.
86 Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 LAYLANDER, Don ASM Affiliates Preemptive Positioning and Relative Chronology in Rock Art • Symposium 1 (La Sierra); Thursday, 1:12 PM The preemption of preferred locations within sites or panels by rock art elements may offer a tool for reconstructing relative chronology, if such preferences can be identified and if their use is documented. LAYLANDER, Don ASM Affiliates, Inc. see GARCIA-HERBST, Arleen LARSON, William ARC-CSU, Sacramento The Smith Creek Rockshelter: Results of Test Excavations at a Rockshelter Located in Humboldt County, California. • General Session 2 (De Anza South); Friday, 11:00 AM In October 2009 The Archaeological Research Center (ARC) in cooperation with the Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria conducted test excavations at a large ethnographic village and a small rockshelter near Smith Creek in Humboldt County. This paper presents the results of the excavation of the rockshelter and the analysis of the data recovered. LEBOW, Clayton Applied EarthWorks, Inc. Prehistoric Spatial Organization in Swordfish Cave • Symposium 5 (Victoria South); Friday, 10:15 AM Excavations at Swordfish Cave on Vandenberg Air Force Base identified three stratigraphically distinct occupations, dated to 3550, 2740, and 155 years ago. Nearly all fill inside the cave was removed in order to preserve rock art. Doing so provided an excellent opportunity to examine spatial organization. This paper examines the locations of features and artifacts found in the various components and looks at how use of the cave changed through time.
