Inventory and Evaluation of Cultural Resources, Bolsa Chica Mesa and Huntington Beach Mesa, Orange County, California

Abstract

This report describes a cultural resources study of the Bolsa Chica area of coastal northern Orange County, California. IRI's work was designed to evaluate current knowledge regarding archaeological and other cultural sites that may be affected by proposed developments. The report also includes assessments of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility of some sites and recommendations for completion of NRHP-eligibility evaluation of other sites. A program of background research and field inspection of known archaeological resources was conducted. IRI redocumented 12 sites and found that two additional sites formerly known in the area have been destroyed. Of the 12 redocumented sites, all have one or more prehistoric components and three also contain historic non-Indian components.
