Appendix C - Cultural Technical ReportCULTURAL RESOURCE INVESTIGATION IN SUPPORT OF THE TROUTDALE VILLAGE PROJECT, CITY OF LA QUINTA, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Prepared by: Roberta Thomas, M.A., RPA Dennis McDougall Evan Mills, M.A., RPA Tiffany Clark, Ph.D., RPA Prepared for: The Altum Group Technical Report No. 22-021 PaleoWest, LLC 517 South Ivy Avenue Monrovia, California 91016 (626) 408-8006 April 25, 2022 Keywords: CEQA; City of La Quinta; Coachella Valley; Riverside County; 14.03 acres; Phase I survey; Phase 11 testing; prehistoric habitation site(s); P-33-001180/CA-RIV-1180; P-33- 008226/CA-RIV-6074 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY PaleoWest LLC (PaleoWest) was contracted by The Altum Group to conduct a Phase I cultural resource assessment for the proposed Troutdale Village Project (Project). The proposed Project involves the development of an apartment complex in the city of La Quinta, Riverside County, California. The Project requires compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); the City of La Quinta (City) is the Lead Agency for the purposes of the CEQA. This report summarizes the methods and results of the cultural resource investigation of the Project area. The investigation included background research, communication with the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) and interested Native American groups, a Phase I pedestrian survey of the Project area, a Phase II investigation of site 33-001180, and resource documentation and evaluation. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the potential for the Project to impact archaeological and historical resources under CEQA. A cultural resource records search and literature review was conducted at the Eastern Information Center of the California Historical Resource Information System on January 27, 2022. The records search indicated that 105 previous studies have been conducted within one - mile of the Project area. In addition, 117 cultural resources have been recorded within one -mile of the Project area. These resources include 60 prehistoric archaeological sites, two historic period archaeological sites, 40 historic period built -environment resources, one multicomponent site, 13 prehistoric isolated artifacts, and one historic period isolated find. Two of the prehistoric archaeological sites, 33-001180 (CA-RIV-1180) and 33-008226 (CA-RIV-6074), were previously documented within the Project area. As part of the cultural resource assessment of the Project area, PaleoWest also requested a search of the Sacred Lands File (SLF) from the NAHC. Results of the SLF search indicate that there are no known Native American cultural resources within the immediate Project area. The NAHC suggested contacting 16 individuals representing 11 Native American tribal groups to find out if they have additional information about the Project area. The 11 recommended tribal groups were contacted. To date, six responses have been received. PaleoWest conducted a survey of the proposed Project area on December 15, 2021. Cultural materials associated with the previous recorded archaeological sites of 33-001180 and 33- 008226 were identified in the Project area. Because the mapped boundary of the two sites overlapped, the resources were combined into one site, 33-001180. No additional archaeological resources were identified as a result of the survey. PaleoWest subsequently conducted a Phase II investigation of 33-001180 between March 7-11, 2022. The purpose of the work was to assess the presence/absence of buried cultural deposits in the Project area and if found, to define their horizontal and vertical extent and integrity. Results of the Phase II study indicate that the cultural remains in the Project area are extremely sparse, generally surficial in nature, and characterized by a high level of disturbance. Based on these findings, PaleoWest concluded that the portion of 33-001180 in the Project area does not contribute to the overall eligibility of the site for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. PaleoWest recommends a finding of no impact to historical or archaeological resources under CEQA. Due to the sensitivity of the area, PaleoWest recommends that an archaeological monitor be present to observe ground -disturbing construction activities.

The proposed Project involves the development of an apartment complex in the city of La Quinta, Riverside County, California. The Project requires compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); the City of La Quinta (City) is the Lead Agency for the purposes of the CEQA. 1.1 PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Project area is located within the city of La Quinta, west of Indio and south of Interstate 10, on the northeast corner of Washington Avenue and Avenue 50 (Figure 1-1). The Project site totals 14.03 acres in size. As shown in Figure 1-2, the Project area is situated within Section 31, Township 5 South, Range 7 East, San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian (SBBM), as depicted on the La Quinta, CA 7.5' U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic quadrangle. The elevation of the Project area ranges from approximately 34 to 47 feet (ft) above mean sea level (amsl). The proposed Project involves the development of 11 two- and three-story apartment buildings that would contain a total of 284 dwelling units and would have a maximum height of 38 ft, 6 inches (in.). Approximately 70 percent of the units (221 units) will be market rate units with the remaining units designated as affordable housing. The Applicant also proposes associated site improvements, which include landscaping, utility infrastructure, parking spaces, an internal roadway, a clubhouse, pool, and community center for the residents. 1.2 REPORT ORGANIZATION This report documents the results of a cultural resource investigation conducted for the proposed Project. Chapter 1 has introduced the project location and description. Chapter 2 states the regulatory context that should be considered for the Project. Chapter 3 synthesizes the natural and cultural setting of the Project area and surrounding region. The results of the existing cultural resource data literature and resource record review and the Sacred Lands File (SLF) search, and a summary of the Native American communications is presented in Chapter 4. The field methods employed during this investigation, findings, and resource evaluations are outlined in Chapter 5 with management recommendation provided in Chapter 6.

Compliance with CEQA statutes and guidelines requires both public and private projects with financing or approval from a public agency to assess the project's impact on cultural resources (Public Resources Code Section 21082, 21083.2 and 21084 and California Code of Regulations 10564.5). The first step in the process is to identify cultural resources that may be impacted by the project and then determine whether the resources are "historically significant" resources. CEQA defines historically significant resources as "resources listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR)" (Public Resources Code Section 5024.1). A cultural resource may be considered historically significant if the resource is 45 years old or older, possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and meets any of the following criteria for listing on the CRHR: 1. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage; 2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; 3. Embodies 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, 4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history (Public Resources Code Section 5024.1). Cultural resources are buildings, sites, humanly modified landscapes, traditional cultural properties, structures, or objects that may have historical, architectural, cultural, or scientific importance. CEQA states that if a project will have a significant impact on important cultural resources, deemed "historically significant," then project alternatives and mitigation measures must be considered. 2.2 CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY BILL 52 Signed into law in September 2014, California Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) created a new class of resources — tribal cultural resources (TCRs) — for consideration under CEQA. TCRs may include sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, or objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are listed or determined to be eligible for listing in the CRHR, included in a local register of historical resources, or a resource determined by the lead CEQA agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant and eligible for listing on the CRHR. AB 52 requires that the lead CEQA agency consult with California Native American tribes that have requested consultation for projects that may affect tribal cultural resources. The lead CEQA agency shall begin consultation with participating Native American tribes prior to the release of a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or environmental impact report. Under AB 52, a project that has potential to cause a substantial adverse change to a tribal cultural resource constitutes a significant effect on the environment unless mitigation reduces such effects to a less than significant level. Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 14 3 SETTING This section of the report summarizes information regarding the physical and cultural setting of the Project area, including the prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic contexts of the general area. Several factors, including topography, available water sources, and biological resources, affect the nature and distribution of prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic -period human activities in an area. This background provides a context for understanding the nature of the cultural resources that may be identified within the region. 3.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The Project area is situated east of the Peninsular Ranges in the southern extent of the Coachella Valley at the western edge of the Colorado Desert. The Coachella Valley is bordered by the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains (part of the Peninsular Ranges) to the southwest and by the low, rolling Indio and Mecca hills to the northeast. From the steep slopes of the San Jacinto Mountains, the desert floor descends suddenly at less than 3 kilometers (km) (2 miles [mil) eastward to sea level in the city of Indio, where the Project area is located. South of the Project area, elevations gradually drop to 90 meters (m) (300 ft) bmsl at the Salton Sea Basin. This basin has filled periodically throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene when the Colorado River shifted its course near its mouth at the Gulf of California, flowing north into the basin, and forming a large freshwater lake commonly known as Lake Cahuilla. A major water source flowing through the central valley is the Whitewater River. The river drained the southern slope of the San Bernardino Mountains for thousands of years (Laflin 2001), prior to the development of the Coachella Valley, flowing in a generally south-southeast direction 80.5 km (50 mi) toward the Salton Sea. The Whitewater River was likely the largest perennial stream that entered the Salton Basin during prehistoric times, replenishing the underground aquifer during nonlacustrine intervals. The Whitewater River Storm Channel runs along the western boundary of the Project area. Prior to the mid -1900s, the climate of the Project region was characterized by low relative humidity, very low rainfall, high summer temperatures of up to 52° C 0 25° F), and mild winters. Since the 1950s, the relative humidity in the area has risen gradually as more and more golf courses have been built and maintained in the Coachella Valley. High winds are common and are accompanied by blowing sand and dust during the spring and late fall. Within the desert areas surrounding the Project area, the average annual rainfall is as sparse as 6 centimeters (cm) (2.5 in.) per year and occurs primarily during the winter months. The Project area is situated within an area identified by Bean and Saubel (1972) as a Lower Sonoran life zone. The Lower Sonoran life zone is characterized by low rainfall, fine -textured alluvial to sandy soils, and xerophytic plant communities. 3.1.1 Lake Cahuilla Arguably the most important environmental change in the Colorado Desert in the past 2,000 years was the formation of Lake Cahuilla. In response to the western diversion of the Colorado River in the Salton Trough, Lake Cahuilla filled and shrank numerous times throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene. The lake would fill until the water reached an altitude of 12 m (40 ft), the minimum crest of the delta at Cerro Prieto, where overflow would spill into the Gulf of Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 15 California (Waters 1983:374). Wilke (1976) calculated that it would take roughly 12 to 20 years of receiving the entire flow of the Colorado River to fill Lake Cahuilla to an altitude of 12 m (40 ft). Alternatively, Wilke (1976) also determined that approximately 60 years would be required to completely dry out the lake without input from the Colorado River. Utilizing radiocarbon assays, historical accounts and evidence, and cross dating of artifacts found along the former Lake Cahuilla shoreline, researchers have posited five lacustrine intervals in the Salton Basin representing an unknown number of stands of Lake Cahuilla during the past 2,000 years (Wilke 1976, Waters 1983, Cleland 1998, Laylander 1994, and Schaefer 1986). The first and earliest of these events has been dated to A.D. 700-890, followed by a gradual, but complete, drought of the lake at about A.D. 950. The second interval began shortly after A.D. 950, peaking at approximately A.D. 965-1150; followed by another gradual, but complete, desiccation of the lake at A.D. 1210. The third interval began shortly after A.D. 1210, peaking between A.D. 1225 and 1360. The third interval was followed by a gradual, but not complete desiccation of the lake by A.D. 1450; the lake remained approximately 50 m (165 ft) deep at this time. The fourth interval lasted between A.D. 1450-1520, desiccating again by A.D. 1580. The fifth, more recent lacustrine interval of Lake Cahuilla occurred during the Spanish explorations of the region between 1540 and 1775 (Cleland 1998:13). Recent paleoclimatic research indicates that a Medieval Warm climatic anomaly was registered throughout Far West North American between circa 1,060 and 575 cal B.P. (Graumlich 1993; Spaulding 2001; Stine 1994). Researchers believe the Medieval Warm would have restricted prehistoric occupation in the Southern California deserts to a few suitable water sources such as the Colorado River and Lake Cahuilla. High stands of Lake Cahuilla, whose source is not directly affected by climatic conditions, are in fact registered during the Medieval Warm, suggesting that the area was likely highly favorable for prehistoric occupation. 3.2 PREHISTORIC SETTING Native American occupation of the Colorado Desert is typically divided into five cultural periods: San Dieguito (ca. 12,000-7,000 years B.P.; Pinto (ca. 7,000-4,000 B.P.); Amargosa (ca. 4,000- 1,200 B.P.); and the Late Prehistoric Period (ca. 1,200-200 B.P.). These cultural periods exclude the controversial "Early Man" pre -projectile point materials from Calico. The prehistoric cultural setting discussed below begins at the Late Prehistoric period based on the archival research conducted for the study area. 3.2.1 Late Prehistoric Period The Late Prehistoric period in the Colorado Desert is marked by the introduction of new artifact types and technological innovations of the previous Amargosa Period of the Late Archaic and defined as the Patayan Pattern (Cleland 1998; CSRI 1986; Schaefer 1994, 1995). This period is characterized by the introduction of ceramics, including Tizon Brown Ware from the Peninsular Ranges, Colorado Buff Wares from the Colorado River region, and the Salton Buff Ware from the Lake Cahuilla shoreline (Schaefer 1995; Waters 1982). New projectile point types, including Desert Side -notched and Cottonwood Triangular points, signify the introduction of the bow and arrow hunting technology, marking a pre -ceramic phase of the expansion of the earlier Amargosa assemblages perhaps as early as 1,500 B.P. Techniques of floodplain horticulture were also introduced to the inhabitants along the Colorado River at the same time as ceramics. Additionally, burial practices changed from extended inhumations to cremated remains, Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 16 sometimes buried in ceramic vessels. Typical of the Hohokam culture from southern Arizona, these traits were introduced to the Colorado River inhabitants and gradually spread west to the Peninsular Ranges and Coastal Plains of Southern California. The Patayan Pattern is typified by several differing settlement and subsistence systems (Schaefer 1995). Dispersed seasonal settlements, known as rancherias, were found along the Colorado River. These settlements were composed of jacal (i.e., adobe style) structures, semi - subterranean pit houses, ramadas, or brush huts, depending on the season and types of settlement. Larger rancherias would disperse to upper terraces of the Colorado River and to special collection areas during the summer months, coinciding with the flood phase of the river, returning to the lower terraces for plant harvesting. At the eastern base of the Peninsular Ranges, the settlement pattern was typified by dispersed rancherias or villages situated at the mouths of canyons supporting perennial streams, at the base of alluvial fans near springs, or down on the valley floor where a shallow water table allowed wells to be dug (e.g., at Indian Wells). In addition to these sites, specialized sites were located in all of the micro - environmental zones that were exploited seasonally. Archaeologically, these specialized sites can range in characteristics from bedrock milling features and pot -drops along trails; to chipping stations and quarries; to temporary camps containing bone, shell, ceramics, flaked and ground stone tools; and ornamental items such as beads and pendants, as well as other occupational debris. 3.3 ETHNOHISTORIC SETTING The Cahuilla have been studied extensively by Dr. Lowell Bean and much of the following discussion is derived from Bean's description of the Cahuilla in Volume 8 of the Handbook of North American Indians (Bean 1978:575-587). The Cahuilla belong to nonpolitical, nonterritorial patrimoieties that governed marriage patterns as well as patrilineal clans and lineages. Each clan, "political -ritual -corporate units" composed of 3 to 10 lineages, owned a large territory in which each lineage owned a village site with specific resource areas. Clan lineages cooperated in defense, in large communal subsistence activities, and in performing rituals. Clans were apt to own land in the valley, foothill, and mountain areas, providing them with the resources of many different ecological niches. In prehistoric times Cahuilla shelters are believed to have been dome shaped; after contact they tended to be rectangular in shape. Cahuilla shelters were often made of brush, palm fronds, or arrowweed. Most of the Cahuilla domestic activities were performed outside the shelters within the shade of large, expansive ramadas. The Cahuilla were, for the most part, hunting, collecting, harvesting, and protoagricultural peoples. As in most of California, acorns were a major staple, but the roots, leaves, seeds, and fruit of many other plants also were used. Fish, birds, insects, and large and small mammals were also available. To gather and prepare these food resources, the Cahuilla had an extensive inventory of equipment including bows and arrows, traps, nets, disguises, blinds, spears, hooks and lines, poles for shaking down pine nuts and acorns, cactus pickers, seed beaters, digging sticks and weights, and pry bars. In addition, the Cahuilla also had an extensive inventory of food processing equipment including hammers and anvils, mortars and pestles, manos and metates, Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 17 winnowing shells and baskets, strainers, leaching baskets and bowls, knives (made of stone, bone, wood, and carrizo cane), bone saws, and drying racks made of wooden poles to dry fish. Mountain tops, unusual rock formations, springs, and streams are held sacred to the Cahuilla as are rock art sites and burial and cremation sites. In addition, various birds are revered as sacred beings of great power and sometimes were killed ritually and mourned in mortuary ceremonies similar to those for important individuals. As such, bird cremation sites are considered sacred by the Cahuilla. 3.4 HISTORICAL SETTING The history of the California desert region has been reviewed in detail by von Till Warren et al. (1981:85-105). A very brief summary of historical events in the Project area is provided below. Prior to 1820, very little is known about historic developments in the Coachella Valley. In the early 1850s, the Maricopa-Bradshaw route was established to serve the mining camps developing near La Paz, Arizona (von Till Warren et al. 1981:85). The Maricopa-Bradshaw route paralleled the old Cocomaricopa Trail, an Indian trail that began east of Blythe and roughly followed the present route of Interstate 10 across the Chuckwalla Valley, traversing the Mecca - Indio area and Coachella Valley to the San Gorgonio Pass. During this time, the U.S. Government was strongly promoting the establishment of a railroad route to connect the east and west coasts; however, it was not until 1877 that the Southern Pacific Railroad transected the western Colorado Desert. This railroad route connected the San Gorgonio Pass to the town of Yuma, Arizona via the eastern shore of the Salton Sea. In 1876, Southern Pacific established a railroad station at a remote desert location and named it after the nearby Indian wells. Within 3 years, the name was changed to Indio, the Spanish word for Indian (Gudde 1998:177). Management of the desert lands was largely the responsibility of the General Land Office, and later the Department of Agriculture Grazing Administration. Until the passage of the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, however, no control was exercised over the California desert lands. Because of the extremely arid nature of the California deserts, this act had virtually no impact on the region; not until the responsibility for managing the desert came under control of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in 1946 were the first attempts made at range management. Since that time, the BLM also has been engaged in evaluating lands for their "uses," and classifying them for different types of management (von Till Warren et al. 1981:95). The paucity of water in many areas of the Colorado Desert discouraged farming, and agricultural development only flourished when water could be imported in significant quantities. Because of the relatively high water table in the Coachella Valley, however, the agricultural industry began to develop prior to the importation of water by means of drilling artesian wells. Beginning in the first decade of the twentieth century, Coachella Valley farmers planted extensive date, fig, and grape acreage. Towns that developed with the agricultural growth include Thermal, Mecca, Indio, and Coachella. Because of the extensive farming efforts, the water table in the Coachella Valley was seriously depleted, stimulating the formation of the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) to promote conservation and replenish the groundwater basin. Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 18 4 CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY On February 4, 2022, a literature review and records search was conducted at the EIC, housed at the University of California, Riverside. This inventory effort included the Project area and a one -mile radius around the Project area, collectively termed the Project study area. The objective of this records search was to identify prehistoric or historical cultural resources that have been previously recorded within the study area during prior cultural resource investigations. As part of the cultural resources inventory, PaleoWest staff also examined historical maps and aerial images to characterize the developmental history of the Project area and surrounding area. A summary of the results of the record search and background research are provided below. 4.1 PREVIOUS CULTURAL RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS The records search results indicate that no fewer than 105 previous cultural resource investigations have been completed within the Project study area since 1970 (Table 4-1). Ten of these studies include or intersect the Project area. As a result, it appears that the entirety of the Project area has been previously inventoried for cultural resources. Table 4-1.

The site record has been updated over the years to include flaked and ground stone, ceramics, and shell artifacts, as well as FAR, animal bone, and charcoal. Site 33-001180 is reported to measure 76 by 46 m and is intersected by Avenue 50 and a storm drain channel (Jertberg 1981 and Parr 1985). Although most of the cultural remains associated with CA-RIV-1180 appear to lie east of the storm drain channel and south of Avenue 50, a survey conducted by Parr (1985) noted several concentrations of flaked and ground stone artifacts, along with modified animal bone, immediately north of Avenue 50 in the current Project area. The site likely represents the remains of a habitation locale. 4.2.2 33-008226 (CA-RIV-6074) Site 33-008226 was recorded in 1998 as a prehistoric habitation site composed of six loci (Love 1998). The site measured 115 by 80 m and lies within a sandy dune area with creosote brushes and mesquite. The cultural constituents identified within the site include flaked and ground stone, ceramic artifacts, FAR, animal bone and hardened clay (Love 1998). The mapped boundary of Site 33-008226 overlaps with the previously defined boundary of Site 33-001180. 4.3 ADDITIONAL_ SOURCES Additional sources consulted during the cultural resource literature and data review include the National Register of Historic Places, the Office of Historic Preservation Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility, and the Office of Historic Preservation Built Environment Resources Directory (BERD). There are no listed cultural resources recorded within the Project area or within one mile of the Project area. Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 121 4.3.1 Historic Map and Aerial Imagery Review Historical maps consulted include Santa Ana, CA 0947, 1959, and 1965) 60 -minute, Indio, CA (1904) 30 -minute, Palm Desert, CA 0959) and Toro Peak (1941) 15 -minute, and La Quinta, CA (1959 and 1972) 7.5 -minute USGS quadrangles. Historical aerials from NETROnline dated 1972, 1996, and 2002 were also reviewed. The review indicates that in the early 1970s, the only development in the vicinity of the Project area were several roads including Washington Street to the west, Avenue 50 to the south, and Saguaro Road to the north. By 1996, the storm drain channel had been constructed west of the Project area with single-family residences to the north and west. Although no development is seen at this time in the Project area, the southwestern portion of the property appears to have been graded with the removal of native vegetation. Currently, the Project site vacant and undeveloped with no standing buildings or structures. The Project area is set near the mouth of a canyon draining the eastern side of Sheep Mountain, one of several peaks comprising the Santa Rosa Mountains, along the western margin of the Coachella Valley. Eisenhower and Indio Mountains flank the west side of the canyon while lower rock hills flank the east. Bear Creek runs off Sheep Mountain flowing generally north-northeast in the Coachella Valley. The canyon mouth is over 2 -miles wide, relatively flat bottomed, and slopes less than one percent toward the northeast and the project area is centrally located here. The valley floor in this area is nearly fully developed with golf courses and single-family homes. The Project area is underlain by Young Alluvial Valley deposits dating to the mid to early Holocene (Matti 2012) while uphill to the south surficial deposits consist of late Holocene Young Wash and mid to early Holocene Alluvial Fan deposits. Nearby mountains are granitic and other intrusive igneous crystalline rocks. Elevation of the Project area is between 40 and 50 ft amsl and is, therefore, located at the estimated high stand of ancient Lake Cahuilla. Broadly, this area is part of a series of coalescing fans derived from streams of the Santa Rosa Mountains. Soil Survey from SSU RGO (Soil Survey Staff 2021a,b) indicates the presence of both Myoma and Coachella fine sand in the Project area. Myoma series are loose, light gray, fine to very fine sand, with freshwater shells, that form in nearly level to hummocky blow sand. Coachella Series form in lacustrine basins in sediments derived from igneous rocks where terrain is gently sloping to nearly level. They are subject to periodic flooding and are loose, olive gray, fine sand, and often contain silt lenses. In native state, Coachella soils support desert shrubs and weeds while Myoma supports grasses and forbs, creosote bush, and mesquite. Review of historical aerial imagery (UCSB 1932, 1936, 1939, 1958) and maps (USGS 1904) indicates that prior to development, the area in general was densely vegetated with mesquite and other small desert shrubs. Small streams draining rocky hillsides flow onto the valley floor generally sinking into valley sediments near the base of the hills. Playas and mud flats are located at the base of the hills west of the Project area and may extend to the Project area between or beneath the dunes. Coppice dunes and large mesquite stabilized barchan dunes dominate the valley floor contrasting from the linear and parabolic dunes to the north. Presently, the Project area is graded and relatively flat. The Project area appears to have first been cleared for agricultural purposes in the 1940s and was subject to grading in the 2000s (HistoricAerials 2022). Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 122 This review indicates that the Project area is in what was, prior to development, a geomorphically active area with several geomorphic processes responsible for both sediment aggradation and erosion on the site. Stabilized and active dunes are the results of generally southeast trending prevailing winds transporting sand down valley while additional fluvial sediments are supplied to the site through ephemeral washes headed in the nearby mountains. During periods when Lake Cahuilla was full, the project site was situated on the shoreline and subject to shoreline erosional effects. Overall, the area generally appears to be aggrading and Holocene sediments in this area may be fairly deep. Potential for buried prehistoric sites in the Project area is high. Geomorphic conditions support the burial of prehistoric resources and the area in generally is sensitive for prehistoric sites. Shoreline areas in the Coachella Valley are generally high sensitivity for prehistoric habitation and processing sites. Additionally, the area is near playas, mesquite (at least during the historic period), and mountains providing a diverse resource base and access to season hydrologic features. As such, there is high potential for prehistoric resources in this area. 4.4 NATIVE AMERICAN COORDINATION PaleoWest contacted the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on October 19, 2021, for a review of the SLF. The objective of the SLF search was to determine if the NAHC had any knowledge of Native American cultural resources (e.g., traditional use or gathering area, place of religious or sacred activity, etc.) within the immediate vicinity of the Project area. The NAHC responded on November 30, 2021, stating that the SLF was completed with negative results; however, the NAHC requested that 16 individuals representing 11 Native American tribal groups be contacted to elicit information regarding cultural resource issues related to the proposed Project (Appendix A). PaleoWest sent outreach letters to the 1 1 recommended tribal groups on December 21, 2021. These letters were followed up by phone calls on January 12, 2022. To date six responses have been received. Mr. Joseph Ontiveros, Cultural Resource Department for Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, stated the Tribe would defer to the Torres - Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. The Quechan Historic Preservation Department sent an email indicating the Tribe does not wish to comment on the Project and stated they defer to more local tribes. The Environmental Department of the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians responded that they have no information to share and no comment on the Project. Ms. Vanessa Minott, Tribal Administrator for the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians, also stated that the Tribe would like to defer to the closest tribes in that area which are Torres -Martinez and Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians. She further noted that the Tribe does not have any comment regarding the Project. The Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians stated that they are not aware of any cultural resources that will be impacted by the Project but would like to be informed if any additional resources, beyond the two resources already identified within the Project area, are identified during development of the Project. Lacy Padilla, Archaeologist with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI), stated that the Project area is not within the boundaries of the ACBCI Reservation; however, it is within the Tribe's Traditional Use Area. As such, the Tribe made a request for copies of the records search, copies of cultural documentation generated in connection with the Project, and the presence of an approved Agua Caliente Native American Cultural Resource Monitor during ground disturbing activities. Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 123 One tribal representative requested that the letters be resent for review (Ramona Band of Cahuilla). The letter was resent to the Tribe on January 12, 2022. As of the date of this report, no additional responses have been received. Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 124 5 FIELD INVESTIGATION 5.1 PHASE I METHODS A cultural resources survey of the Project area was completed by PaleoWest Archaeologist Evan Mills, M.A., Register of Professional Archaeologists (RPA), on December 15, 2021. The fieldwork effort included an intensive pedestrian survey of the entire Project area, totaling approximately 14.03 acres. The intensive pedestrian survey was conducted by walking a series of parallel transects spaced at 10- to 15-m (33- to 49 -ft) intervals. The archaeologist carefully inspected all areas within the Project area likely to contain or exhibit sensitive cultural resources to ensure discovery and documentation of any visible, potentially significant cultural resources within the Project area. Prehistoric site indicators may include areas of darker soil with concentrations of ash, charcoal, bits of animal bone (burned or unburned), shell, flaked stone, ground stone, or even human bone. Historical site indicators may include fence lines, ditches, standing buildings, objects or structures such as sheds, or concentrations of materials at least 45 years in age, such as domestic refuse (e.g., glass bottles, ceramics, toys, buttons or leather shoes), refuse from other pursuits such as agriculture (e.g., metal tanks, farm machinery parts, horse shoes) or structural materials (e.g., nails, glass window panes, corrugated metal, wood posts or planks, metal pipes and fittings, railroad spurs, etc.). 5.2 PHASE I RESULTS The Project area is a vacant, relatively flat parcel that is bounded on the west and south sides by Washington Street and Avenue 50, respectively. The east side of the property abuts a concrete storm drain channel. Surficial deposits across the Project area have been disturbed by mechanical and natural processes with modern grading on the western side and undulating dunes on the eastern side (Figures 5-1 and 5-2). The soils on the western half are not native but a mixture of gravel, construction refuse, modern refuse, and road base from Washington Street and Avenue 50. The soils on the eastern half are native, eolian dune sands with a low density of cobbles. Vegetation within the Project area consists of salt bush (low lying shrubs), patches of mesquite, and bunch grasses. Modern trash was noted throughout the Project area. Ground visibility was good to excellent (80 to 100 percent). The landform of the dunes is fairly active with sands migrating around the parcel during wind events. The dunes appear to have been subject to erosion over the years and show signs of deflation. There is evidence of a recent surface brush fire with burned vegetation observed on the ground surface. A transmission line of unknown age was also noted running west -east along the southern extent of the Project area. Although the age of the line is not known, a review of aerial imagery indicates that it was not present before 1972 and as such, is likely modern in age. No new cultural resources were observed. However, cultural materials associated with the previous recorded archaeological sites of 33-001180 and 33-008226 were identified in the Project. As noted above, the mapped boundary of Site 33-008226 largely overlaps with Site 33- 001180. As such, PaleoWest has combined these sites into one resource, herein referred to as Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 125 Figure 5-1 Overview of Project area, facing west Figure 5-2 Overview of Project area, facing northeast Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 126 33-001180 (Figure 5-3; in Confidential Appendix B). The Department of Parks and Recreation records for both 33-001180 and 33-008226 were updated to note the that the two resources have been consolidated (see Appendix Q. A discussion of the update resource is provided below. 5.2.1 33-001180 Update The site update includes extant portions of 33-001180, as well as the cultural remains associated with 33-008226. Although 33-001180 was at one time much larger in size, the portions of the site east of the storm drain channel and south of Avenue 50 appear to have been destroyed by modern development. As such, the site update completed by PaleoWest focused on documenting the surface remnants of 33-001180 located within the current Project area. The site currently consists of a large scatter of prehistoric ceramics and FAR located in a 111 m (N/S) by 130 m (E/AJ) area in the northeast portion of the Project area (Figure 5-4). Four small artifact concentrations (Loci 1-4) are located in the site boundary (Figure 5-5; in Confidential Appendix B). Locus 1 is a 11 m by 12 m area that contains a cluster of 10 pieces of FAR and 4 ceramic buff ware body sherds. Locus 2 measures 8 m by 6 m and contains two pieces of FAR and nine ceramic buff ware body sherds. Locus 3 is a 10 m by 8 m area that consists of 10 pieces of FAR and 9 ceramic buff ware sherds. Finally, Locus 4 includes of six ceramic brown ware body sherds and five ceramic buff ware body sherds within an 8 m by 13 m area. The artifact concentrations are surrounded by a dispersed scatter of FAR and ceramic sherds. Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 127 One diagnostic buff ware ceramic sherd, a rim and body fragment of a wide-mouth bowl with a flattened rim (A-01), was mapped to submeter accuracy. Unlike earlier recorders, PaleoWest identified no flaked or ground stone artifacts or burned animal bone on the surface of the site. The presence of ceramics and FAR, along with cultural materials noted by earlier recorders (i.e., flaked and ground stone artifacts and burned animal bone) suggests that Site 33-001180 may have functioned as a habitation locale dating to the Late Prehistoric Period. Given that the site is located within an active sand dune complex, it is possible that buried archaeological deposits associated with the site are present in the Project area. As can be observed in Figure 5-3, the southwestern boundary of Site 33-001180 abuts a previously disturbed portion of the Project area suggesting that the site may have once extended farther to the south. 5.3 PHASE II METHODS PaleoWest archeologists Dennis McDougall, Evan Mills, M.A., RPA, Gena Granger, M.A., RPA, and Alegria Garcia, M.A., conducted Phase II investigations at 33-001180 between March 7-11, 2022. These investigations entailed a resurvey of the site area to identify and map any additional cultural constituents, concentrations, or features on the surface, and the manual excavations of 37 shove probes (STPs) and one test unit (TEU). During the resurvey, all exposed surface areas within and surrounding each site's boundary were inspected by the archaeologists. Pin flags were used to mark any visible features, artifacts, or other cultural debris. The locations of surface artifacts were mapped and referenced to real-world Universal Transverse Mercator coordinates using an iSX-Blue data collection Global Positioning System (GPS) unit with sub -meter accuracy. Following the resurvey, a series of 37 STPs (STPs 01-37) were excavated at the site. Thirty-one STPs (STPs 01-31) were systemically placed in a grid pattern spaced at approximately 20-m intervals across the site; however, the locations of STPs 25-27 and 31 were altered slightly to avoid previously graded areas, areas of introduced fill and construction debris, and mesquite dunes. Based on the 20-m grid pattern, the locations of STPs 20 and 5 fell within the boundaries of Loci 3 and 4, respectively. An additional six STPs (STPs 32-37) were judgmentally placed in the remaining artifact concentrations that had been identified at the site (Loci 1-2 and 5-8) (Figure 5-5; in Confidential Appendix B). Each STP was 30 cm in diameter and was excavated in 20 cm levels until two consecutive culturally sterile levels (devoid of artifacts) were met. No deep cultural deposits requiring the use of a hand auger excavated into the bottom of an STP were encountered. All sediments removed from the STPs were sifted through 1/8 -in hardware mesh. Artifacts captured in the screens were separated by basic artifact class (e.g., ceramics, flaked stone debitage, ground stone, etc.) and/or material type and analyzed in the field. STP forms were used to record provenience information, soil descriptions, and other observations regarding site disturbances and the integrity of the cultural deposits. Upon completion of each STP, recovered artifacts were placed in a cloth bag at the bottom of the unit and backfilled to restore the area to its original contour. A GPS unit was used to accurately map the site and plot locus boundaries, and point -provenience the locations of sampling units and any identified formed tools. All map coordinates were referenced to the primary site datum (the location of STP 01) that was assigned an arbitrary grid coordinate of 100 m north / 100 m east (100mN/100mE). Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 128 A substantial quantity of FAR was recovered from STP 32 in Locus 5. As a result of this finding, one 1 x 1 m TEU (TEU 01) was excavated directly adjacent to STP 32 (Figure 5-5; in Confidential Appendix B). The purpose of the TEU excavation was to: (1) obtain additional information on the nature and extent of the FAR deposits; (2) determine the presence/absence of deeply buried cultural deposits that may have not been identified during STP excavations; and (3) provide a profile of the natural stratigraphy within the site area to better understand the local geomorphological sequences and site formation processes. TEU 01 was excavated in arbitrary 10 -cm levels and was terminated at a depth of 1.10 m 010 cm). Sediments removed from TEU 01 were sifted through 1/8 -in hardware mesh. Artifacts recovered in the screens were separated by basic artifact class (e.g., flaked stone debitage, ground stone, ceramics, etc.) and material type and analyzed in the field. Unit Level Records (ULRs) were used to record provenience information, soil descriptions, and other observations regarding site disturbances and the integrity of the cultural deposits. The stratigraphic profile exposed in TEU 01 was photographed following the completion of the excavation. Upon completion of the TEU, recovered artifacts were placed into a cloth bag at the bottom of the unit and the unit was backfilled to restore the area to its original contour. A GPS unit was used to accurately map the unit's location. 5.4 PHASE II RESULTS 5.4.1 Site Resurvey Four new concentrations of surface artifacts (Loci 5-8) were identified during Phase II study (Figure 5-5; in Confidential Appendix B). Locus 5, 3.8 x 2.4 m, consists of a discrete concentration of approximately 35 pieces of granitic FAR and one complete Cottonwood Triangular series arrow point (A-03). A-03 is a finely made, vein quartz, complete Cottonwood Triangular arrow point with a concave base of 2.0 x 1.0 x 0.1 cm (L x W x Th) (Figure 5-6). These points appear circa A.D. 900 and persist into the historic period (Justice 2002:369). Locus 6 is 3.2 x 2.4 m and contains approximately 18 pieces of granitic FAR and one piece of angular vein (milky) quartz shatter. Locus 7 includes a discrete concentration of more than 30 amorphous pieces of baked clay, 4 ceramic sherds, and 6 pieces of granitic FAR in an area 4.5 m in diameter. Finally, Locus 8 is a concentration of six ceramic sherds, six pieces of angular vein quartz shatter, and nine pieces of FAR (granitic and metavolcanic rock) identified within a 3.2 x 2.6 m area. In addition to Loci 5-8, a Desert Side -notched arrow point (A-02) was identified on the ground surface and mapped to submeter accuracy. The projectile point is nearly complete (one tang is missing) and is 2.4 x 1.3 x 0.3 cm (L x W x Th). The point exhibits a deeply indented, concave base manufactured from vein quartz that conforms to Justice's (2002:388-393) Sierra variant which date between A.D. 1300 and 1900 (Figure 5-7). Prehistoric ceramic sherds are scattered across the site's surface; however, no rim sherds indicative of specific vessel forms were identified. The majority of ceramics (>90%) are Southern California Brown (aka "Tizon") Ware (c.f., Griset 2007, 2008, 2011). Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 129 I!I Iffy 7llllltfl�ll�lllllillll�ltilfli�lll�il Figure 5-4. Cottonwood Triangular projectile point, A-03, plan view. Figure 5-5. Desert Side -notched projectile point, A-02, plan view. Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 130 These ceramics appear to be made from residual clays available in the nearby mountains. Other ceramics that were identified include what appear to be fragments of Salton Buff manufactured from sedimentary clays likely derived from the lacustrine sediments of Lake Cahuilla. The ceramic data suggest site occupation spanned Phase 2 (ca. A.D. 1000-1500) and Phase 3 (post- A.D. 1500) of the Patayan Pattern, which falls within the Late Prehistoric Period and is consistent with temporal affiliations of Desert series arrow points. Scatters and concentrations of FAR are also common across the surface of the site. Because 33-001180 is in eolian dunes formed entirely of very fine-grained Myoma series sediments (primarily silt and sand; see Section 4.3.1), all FAR and other lithic materials at the site must have originated elsewhere; that is, these lithic materials had to have been brought to the site by its prehistoric inhabitants. Most FAR on site is fine- to course -grained granitic material; fire - altered chunks of metavolcanic rock are present in much lesser quantities. Flaked stone materials are primarily of vein quartz; few flakes are quartzite. These materials could have been obtained from the Santa Rosa Mountains to the west which are formed of granitic and other intrusive igneous crystalline rocks. Another source closer to the Project area may have been Bear Creek Canyon. Bear Creek emanates from the eastern flank of Sheep Mountain in the Santa Rosa's and debouches onto the Coachella Valley floor a few miles southwest of the Project area. Non -cultural constituents observed in the native eolian sediments throughout the site area include weathered, nacreous remains of freshwater shellfish derived from the lacustrine sediments of Lake Cahuilla. These remains were likely transported into the site area by eolian processes. As noted in Section 4.3.1, freshwater shellfish remains are a common constituent in the Myoma series eolian sediments that characterize the site area. A variety of natural and cultural disturbances were observed on the site's surface. Burrows and the intrusive remains of small rodents are found within the site boundary as are chunks of burned wood and charcoal from a recent brush fire. In addition, the area has been disturbed by the grading and use of several dirt roads, construction of a large storm drain channel along the eastern edge of the site, the introduction of non-native fill/gravel and other construction debris, and modern trash dumping. 5.4.2 STP Excavations The sediments encountered within the 37 STPs were uniform in both color and texture. They consisted of a single, homogenous stratum of Myoma series soils comprised of very fine- grained eolian silty -sand, light brownish gray (10YR 6/2; dry) or very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2; moist) in color. Non -cultural chunks of burned wood, charcoal, and intrusive small rodent remains were commonly encountered within the upper 40-50 cm of the STPs. Twenty-nine STPs (1-3, 5-10, 12-20, 22-31, and 36) were excavated in two 20 cm levels to a maximum depth of 40 cm below ground surface (bgs). All 29 STPs proved sterile of cultural material. The eight remaining STPs (4, 11, 21, 32-35, and 37) were positive for cultural remains. These STPs were excavated to depths ranging from 60-80 cmbgs. A summary of the findings associated with each of the positive STPs is provided below. STP 4 (100mN / 80mE): Located just a few meters outside of the boundary of Locus 7 (surface concentration consisting of pieces of baked clay, ceramics, and FAR), STP 4 was excavated to a maximum depth of 60 cmbgs. Level 1 (0-20 cmbgs) yielded four small amorphous pieces of Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 131 baked clay. Level 2 (20-40 cmbgs) and Level 3 (40-60 cmbgs) proved sterile of cultural material. STP 11 (80mN / 60mE): STP 11 was excavated to a maximum depth of 80 cmbgs. One Southern California Brown ceramic body sherd with a fine sand temper and carbonized exterior, 3.3 x 2.9 x 0.5 cm (L x VV x Th), was recovered from Level 2 (20-40 cmbgs). Level 1 (0-20 cm), Level 3 (40-60 cm), and Level 4 (60-80 cm) were negative for cultural material. STP 21 040mN / 100mE): STP 21 was also excavated to a maximum depth of 80 cmbgs. Eight pieces of granitic FAR ranging from 3-8 cm in size and collectively weighing <1.0 kilograms (kg) were recovered from Level 2 (20-40 cmbgs). Level 1 (0-20 cm), Level 3 (40-60 cm), and Level 4 (60-80 cm) were sterile of cultural material. STP 32 (Locus 5): STP 32 was placed in Locus 5 and excavated to a depth of 60 cmbgs. Level 1 (0-20 cmbgs) yielded approximately 38 pieces of granitic and metavolcanic FAR ranging from 3-7 cm and weighing 3.95 kg. Level 2 (20-40 cm) and Level 3 (40-60 cm) were negative for cultural material. STP 33 (Locus 6): STP 33 was placed in Locus 6 and excavated to a depth of 60 cmbgs. Level 1 (0-20 cmbgs) produced five small pieces of granitic FAR ranging from 1-3 cm and weighing <0.25 kg. Level 2 (20-40 cm) and Level 3 (40-60 cm) proved sterile of cultural material. STP 34 (Locus 7): STP 34 was excavated in Locus 7 to a depth of 60 cmbgs. One very small (1- 2 cm) Southern California Brown ceramic body sherd with a carbonized exterior and 30 pieces of baked clay were recovered from Level 1 (0-20 cmbgs). Level 2 (20-40 cm) and Level 3 (40- 60 cm) were sterile. STP 35 (Locus 8): STP 35 was excavated in Locus 8 to a depth of 80 cmbgs. Level 1 (0-20 cmbgs) yielded four pieces of vein quartz debitage (one tertiary flake and three pieces of angular shatter) and two very small body sherds (1-3 cm) of Southern California Brown ware. One piece of vein quartz angular shatter was recovered from Level 2 (20-40 cm). Level 3 (40- 60 cm) and Level 4 (60-80 cm) were negative for cultural remains. STP 37 (Locus 2): STP 37 was excavated in Locus 2 to a depth of 60 cmbgs. One very small (1- 2 cm) Southern California Brown ceramic body sherd with a carbonized exterior and one secondary decortication flake of vein quartz were recovered from Level 1 (0-20 cmbgs). Level 2 (20-40 cm) and Level 3 (40-60 cm) proved sterile of cultural material. 5.4.3 TEU 01 Excavation (at Locus 5) Based on the recovery of 38 pieces (3.95 kg) of FAR from Level 1 (0-20 cmbgs) of STP 32 at Locus 5, TEU 01 was excavated immediately adjacent to the northern edge of STP 32 where additional pieces of FAR were exposed on the ground surface. The TEU was 1 x 1 m and was excavated in arbitrary 10 -cm levels. The unit was terminated at a depth of 1.10 m (110 cm). All sediments were screened through 1/8 -in hardware mesh. Cultural materials were confined to the upper 30 cm of sediments (i.e., Levels 1-3) with no artifacts recovered from Levels 4-11 (40-110 cmbgs). A description of the recovered artifacts by level is provided below. Level 1 (0-10 cm) produced 43 pieces of FAR (26 metavolcanic rock and 17 granitic) ranging from 2-9 cm and weighing 3.7 kg. In addition, one piece of angular vein quartz shatter and one quartzite primary flake were also recovered from the level. Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 132 Level 2 (10-20 cm) yielded one fire -altered ground stone fragment consisting of the margin of a small, water rounded quartzite cobble with polishing wear on one face and abrader wear on the opposite face. This artifact may have been used to smooth the exteriors of ceramic vessels prior to the firing process. Other recovered artifacts include a small sherd of Southern California Brown, a piece of angular vein quartz shatter, and 26 pieces of FAR (20 granitic and 6 metavolcanic) ranging from 2-5 cm and weighing 1.65 kg. Level 3 (20-30 cm) produced four small fragments of FAR (2-4 cm) weighing <0.25 kg. No other artifacts were recovered from the level. Like the sediments encountered elsewhere throughout the site area, the sediments within TEU-01 were uniform in color and texture (Figure 5-8). From the ground surface to 110 cmbgs, sediments consisted of Myoma series very fine-grained eolian silty -sand, light brownish -gray (10YR 6/2; dry) or very dark grayish -brown (10YR 3/2; moist). Fine roots, rodent disturbance, the intrusive remains of small rodents, and non -cultural chunks of burned wood, charcoal, and other wind-blown organic debris were commonly encountered within the upper 40-60 cm of sediment. Soils became increasingly more compact with depth between 60-110 cmbgs (Figure 5-8) . 5.5 33-001180 EVALUATION As noted in Section 5.1, the prehistoric cultural deposits identified within the Project area fall within the boundaries of the previously recorded archaeological sites of 33-001180 and 33- 008226. The mapped boundary of 33-008226 largely overlaps with 33-001180 (Figure 5-3; in Confidential Appendix B). As such, PaleoWest combined these sites into one resource, herein referred to as 33-001180. Although 33-001180 was at one time much larger in size (Section 4.2.1), the portions of the site east of the storm drain channel and south of Avenue 50 have likely been destroyed by modern development. As such, the evaluation effort conducted for this investigation is limited to the portions of the site located within the current Project area. The location of 33-001180 between 34-47 ft amsl indicates that the site is along the high -stand shoreline of ancient Lake Cahuilla. Temporally diagnostic artifacts suggest use of the area by prehistoric populations in the Late Prehistoric Period (ca. 1,200-200 B.P.). The cultural deposits documented within the Project area are extremely sparse and are generally surficial or limited to the upper 20-30 cm of sediments. Although the amorphous pieces of baked clay recovered in Locus 7 may represent fragments of daub that were once used to seal the walls of a structure (Barrows 1900; Drucker 1937, 1941), no other evidence of structural remains were identified at the site. In addition, despite the recovery of several concentrations of FAR, no intact thermal features were documented by the Phase II investigations. The findings of the cultural resource study suggest that the portion of 33-001180 in the Project area has been extensively disturbed and any features that may have once been present have been removed and destroyed. The portion of 33-001180 in the Project area does not contribute to the overall eligibility of the site as a whole for listing in the CRHR. Although the ceramics, flaked and ground stone, and FAR that were recovered from 33-001180 are broadly associated with Native American use of the Coachella Valley region during the Late Prehistoric Period, they do not have a clear association with broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage nor do they contain any attributes that convey specific association with the lives of persons important in our past. Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 133 L A Figure 5-6 Overview of TEU 01 stratigraphic profile, facing northeast iLa As such, it is not significant under Criterion 1 or 2. The portion of 33-001180 within the Project area also lacks any defining or distinguishing characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction; it does not represent the work of an important creative individual nor does it possess high artistic values. As such, it does not appear to be eligible under Criterion 3. Finally, the portion of 33-001180 in the Project area consists of an extremely sparse scatter of cultural remains that are largely surficial or limited to the upper 20-30 cm of sediments. The small quantities of artifacts, the lack of assemblage diversity, and absence of intact subsurface deposits suggest that additional study of the portion of 33-001180 within the Project area will not yield any new information important in prehistory or history. Therefore, the portion of the 33-001180 in the Project area is not eligible for inclusion in the CRHR under Criterion 4. Cultural Resource Investigation in Support of the Troutdale Village Project, City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California 134 6 MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS As a result of the cultural resource assessment, two previously recorded prehistoric archaeological sites were documented on the Project property. Based on the findings of PaleoWest's survey, these two sites have been combined into one resource, 33-001180. The resource likely represents a Late Prehistoric Period habitation site, much of which appears to have been destroyed by development in the surrounding area. As part of the cultural resources assessment, PaleoWest also conducted a Phase II investigation at 33-001180 to assess the presence/absence of buried cultural deposits in the Project area and if found, to define their horizontal and vertical extent and integrity. This effort included a site resurvey and excavation of STPs and a TEU. Results of the Phase II study indicate that cultural deposits in the Project area are extremely sparse and are limited to the upper 20-30 cm of sediments. The absence of intact features suggests that the area has been extensively disturbed and that any thermal features or structures that were once present in the area have been destroyed. Based on these findings, PaleoWest concluded that the portion of 33-001180 in the Project area does not contribute to the overall eligibility of the site for listing on the CRHR. Furthermore, the data potential of the prehistoric cultural deposits appears to have been realized fully during the Phase II investigations. PaleoWest recommends a finding of no impact to historical or archaeological resources under CEQA. However, due to the sensitivity of the area, PaleoWest recommends that an archaeological monitor be present to observe ground -disturbing construction activities in the Project area. In addition, in the unlikely event of an accidental discovery of any human remains during construction activities, the processes outlined in the Health and Safety Code 7050.5, CEQA 15064.5(e) and Public Resources Code 5097.98 shall be followed.

The Stanley Rodriguez results were negative. However, the absence of specific site information in the SLF does not COMMISSIONER indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area. Other sources of cultural William Mungary resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites. Paiute/White Mountain Cultural Resources Analyst Apache Attached is a list of Native American tribes who may also have knowledge of cultural resources Pomo in the project area. This list should provide a starting place in locating areas of potential COMMISSIONER adverse impact within the proposed project area. I suggest you contact all of those indicated; Isaac Bojorquez if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. By Ohlone-Costanoan contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to consult with the appropriate tribe. If a response has not been received within two weeks of COMMISSIONER notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call or email to Sara Dutschke Miwok ensure that the project information has been received. If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify COMMISSIONER Buffy McQuillen me. With your assistance, we can assure that our lists contain current information.

Mills, D. McDougall, G. Granger, and A. Garcia*Date: 03/07/2022 ❑ Continuation ❑x Update This site record update considers both CA-RIV-1180/CA-RIV-6074 the same site because they overlap spatially and multiple updates to both records in the past have recorded the same contituents under each site number. In addition, the larger site (CA- RIV-1180) is largely destroyed in all the surrounding areas by modern development. What remains of the site is within the area where CA-RIV-8226 was mapped in the most recent update (Love 1998). Therefore, these two resources are considered one due to the overlapping spatial elements and the multitude of updates in the past (Wilke 1972, Salpas 1980, Jertberg 1981, Parr 1985, McCarthy 1958, and Love 1998) that have all documented the same constituents. This site was visited and updated by PaleoWest archaeologist Evan Mills in 2021. Due to the variety of previous updates and the variability of the site constituents reported in those updates, no attempt was made to relocate or reidentify specific elements of the previous updates. The landform is an active dune complex where sands are shifting with every wind event and the visibility of surface materials changes from year to year. Therefore, only what was visible on the surface on 12/15/2021 will be reported in this update. The site in the current condition consists of a large scatter of ceramics and fire affected rock (FAR) located in a 111 meter (N/S) by 130 meter (E/W) area. Site surface constituents consisted of four buff ware body sherds, five brown ware body sherds, one buff ware rim sherd (A-1) and four loci consisting of concentration of ceramis and FAR. No lithic debitage, ground stone, or burned bone (as reported on previous updates) was observed. All loci and artifacts were mapped to submeter accuracy. New site datum (central portion of recently mapped boundary) is located at UTM: 565629mE/3727625mN. Constituents: Four buff ware ceramic body sherds, five ceramic brown ware body sherds, approximately 50 pieces of granite FAR scattered throughout the site. A-01 is a ceramic buff ware rim sherd that measures 9.6cm by 6.4cm by .7cm (thick) with a slightly reinforced rim, and broad radius (bowl) located at UTM: 565688mE/3727613mN. Locus 1 consists of a cluster of 10 FAR (granite) and four ceramic buff ware body sherds ranging in size from 2 - 8 cm. The locus measures 11m (N/S) by 12m (E/W) and is located at UTM: 565662mE/3727613mN. Locus 2 consists of two pieces of FAR (granite) and nine ceramic buff ware body sherds ranging in size from 2 - 9 cm. The locus measures 8m (N/S) by 6m (E/W) and is located at UTM: 565649mE/3727653mN. Locus 3 consists of 10 oieces of FAR (granite) and nine ceramic buff ware body sherds ranging in size from 2 - 7 cm. The locus measures 10m (N/S) by 8m (E/W) and is located at UTM: 565612mE/3727667mN. This locus is located in an erosion cut between dunes. Locus 4 consists of six ceramic brown ware body sherds and five ceramic buff ware body sherds ranging in size from 1 - 9cm. The locus measures 8m (N/S) by 13m (E/W) and is located at UTM: 565586mE/3727626mN. This locus is also located in an erosional cut between dunes. Subsequent to this initial update, PaleoWest archeologists returned to the site to conduct Phase II investigations in March 2022. These investigations entailed a resurvey of the site area and the manual excavations of 37 shove probes (STPs) and one test unit (TEU). Four new concentrations of surface artifacts (Loci 5-8) were identified as well as a Desert Side -notched arrow point (A-02). A-02 is a is nearly complete (one tang is missing) projectile point and is 2.4 x 1.3 x 0.3 cm (L x W x Th). The point exhibits a deeply indented, concave base manufactured from vein quartz. UTM: 565636mE/3727666mN Locus 5, 3.8 x 2.4 m, consists of a discrete concentration of approximately 35 pieces of granitic FAR and one complete Cottonwood Triangular series arrow point (A-03). UTM: 565640mE/3727635mN A-03 is a finely made, vein quartz, complete Cottonwood Triangular arrow point with a concave base of 2.0 x 1.0 x 0.1 cm (L x W x Th). UTM: 565642mE/3727651mN Locus 6 is 3.2 x 2.4 m and contains approximately 18 pieces of granitic FAR and one piece of angular vein (milky) quartz shatter. UTM: 565629mE/3727654mN Locus 7 includes a discrete concentration of more than 30 amorphous pieces of baked clay, 4 ceramic sherds, and 6 pieces of granitic FAR in an area 4.5 m in diameter. UTM: 565610mE/3727623mN Locus 8 is a concentration of six ceramic sherds, six pieces of angular vein quartz shatter, and nine pieces of FAR (granitic and metavolcanic rock) identified within a 3.2 x 2.6 m area.

Mills, D. McDougall, G. Granger, and A. Garcia*Date: 03/07/2022 ❑ Continuation ❑x Update Prehistoric ceramic sherds are scattered across the site's surface; however, no rim sherds indicative of specific vessel forms were identified. The majority of ceramics (>90%) are Southern California Brown (aka "Tizon") Ware (c.f., Griset 2007, 2008, 2011). Scatters and concentrations of FAR are also common across the surface of the site. Because the site is in eolian dunes formed entirely of very fine-grained Myoma series sediments, all FAR and other lithic materials at the site must have originated elsewhere; that is, these lithic materials had to have been brought to the site by its prehistoric inhabitants. Most FAR on site is fine- to course - grained granitic material; fire -altered chunks of metavolcanic rock are present in much lesser quantities. Flaked stone materials are primarily of vein quartz; few flakes are quartzite. Non -cultural constituents observed in the native eolian sediments throughout the site area include weathered, nacreous remains of freshwater shellfish derived from the lacustrine sediments of Lake Cahuilla. These remains were likely transported into the site area by eolian processes. A variety of natural and cultural disturbances were observed on the site's surface. Burrows and the intrusive remains of small rodents are found within the site boundary as are chunks of burned wood and charcoal from a recent brush fire. In addition, the area has been disturbed by the grading and use of several dirt roads, construction of a large storm drain channel along the eastern edge of the site, the introduction of non-native fill/gravel and other construction debris, and modern trash dumping. Site interpretations: Given the activity of the landform based on the variability of reported surface constituents throughout the decades, it is assumed that the majority of this site is buried. In addition, the location of current surface constituents within erosional cuts supports that interpretation. The nature of the consitutents (cermaics and FAR) indicates some level of residential use and likely represents habitation during the Late Period Prehistoric. Also, elements reported in the previous updates (burned bone, lithics, and ground stone) also support this interpretation of a habitation site. The surroudnig area (where much of the previous reported constituents were once located) is all developed by modern housing to the north, a storm drain channel and school to the east, and a golf course to the south, indicate that the current update represents all that remains of the once much larger site. The indication of subsurface presence based on the location of constituents within erosional cuts, suggests more investigation (testing/evaluation/data recovery) should be performed prior to any development of the parcel. Evaluation: Although CA-RIV-1180was at one time much larger in size, the portions of the site east of the storm drain channel and south of Avenue 50 have likely been destroyed by modern development. As such, the evaluation effort conducted for this investigation is limited to the portions of the site located within the current Project area. The location of 33-001180 between 34-47 ft amsl indicates that the site is along the high -stand shoreline of ancient Lake Cahuilla. Temporally diagnostic artifacts suggest use of the area by prehistoric populations in the Late Prehistoric Period (ca. 1,200-200 B.P.). The cultural deposits documented within the site are extremely sparse and are generally surficial or limited to the upper 20-30 cm of sediments. Although the amorphous pieces of baked clay recovered in Locus 7 may represent fragments of daub that were once used to seal the walls of a structure (Barrows 1900; Drucker 1937, 1941), no other evidence of structural remains were identified at the site. In addition, despite the recovery of several concentrations of FAR, no intact thermal features were documented by the Phase II investigations. The findings of the cultural resource study suggest that the portion of 33-001180 in the Project area has been extensively disturbed and any features that may have once been present have been removed and destroyed. PaleoWest recommends that the portion of the site in the current Project area does not contribute to the overall eligibility of the site as a whole for listing in the CRHR. Although the ceramics, flaked and ground stone, and FAR that were recovered from the site are broadly associated with Native American use of the Coachella Valley region during the Late Prehistoric Period, they do not have a clear association with broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage nor do they contain any attributes that convey specific association with the lives of persons important in our past. The portion of the site within the Project area also lacks any defining or distinguishing characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction; it does not represent the work of an important creative individual nor does it possess high artistic values. Finally, the portion of the site in the Project area consists of an extremely sparse scatter of cultural remains that are largely surficial or limited to the upper 20-30 cm of sediments. The small quantities of artifacts, the lack of assemblage diversity, and absence of intact subsurface deposits suggest that additional study of the portion of the site within the Project area will not yield any new information important in prehistory or history.
