5.0 Environmental Setting 5.3 Cultural/Historical Resources <br />Avion Project SEIR <br />Page 5.3-4 <br />1930. These communities were composed of an aggregate of people who lived within well-defined <br />geographic boundaries, on farmsteads tied together through a common school district, church, post <br />office, and country store (Hector and Van Wormer 1986). A small community developed in the San <br />Dieguito River Valley to the north of the project in the late 1800s, but it was destroyed when Lake <br />Hodges was filled in 1917 (Pourade 1969). In the post-World War II period, the economy shifted from <br />ranching and agriculture to light manufacturing, military, and tourism. <br />5.3.2.2 Cultural Resource Investigations <br />a. Records Search <br />A record search was conducted at the South Coastal Information Center at San Diego State University <br />(SCIC) in December 2017 for previously recorded historical resources on the project site. A total of <br />56 historic resources are listed within a one-mile radius of the project. The SCIC lists two prehistoric <br />resources on the parcel, CA-SDI-18428 and CA-SDI-18429, both of which are flake scatters. <br />CA-SDI-18,428 <br />CA-SDI-18428 is a flake scatter consisting of at least 15 quartz flakes. The core site measures 20 <br />meters north-south by 5 meters east-west. Two additional flakes discussed in the site form <br />potentially increased the site dimensions to 120 meters by 40 meters. However, the site boundary <br />shape file did not include these two flakes. The site form noted limited ground visibility. The site was <br />recorded by Affinis in 2007. <br />CA-SDI-18,429 <br />CA-SDI-18429 is a scatter of five quartz fakes which were in a 5-by-5-meter area. Limited ground <br />visibility was noted on the site form, recorded by Affinis in 2007. <br />b. Field Investigation <br />The project site was surveyed twice by RECON archaeologists; once on July 19, 2013, and a second <br />time on December 21, 2017. A total of seven cultural resources were identified during the July 2013 <br />and December 2017 surveys: <br />• Three prehistoric isolates consisting of one or two flakes (7178-RDS-1, 7178-RDS-2, and 7178- <br />HJP-1) <br />• Two prehistoric sites (7179-HJP-2 and 7178-RDS-3) <br />• An historic farmstead site (7178-HJP-3) <br />• A historic structure and associated road (7178-RDS-4) <br />None of the material identified during the 2013 survey was at, or immediately adjacent to, the <br />mapped locations of either CA-SDI-18428 or CA-SDI-18429. The 2017 survey did find seven flakes <br />(7178-RDS-3) within 15 meters of the mapped location of SDI-18428. No cultural material was found <br />at or adjacent to the mapped location of CA-SDI-18429 during the 2017 survey. A brief description of
