Nearly Lost: An Almost-Missed Buried Deposit
12122 Canyonside Park Drive, San Diego, 92129
Cost: Free
For many years small excavation units have been utilized to gain understanding of the contents and contexts of sediments below the sod and streets of La Jolla Shores. As a practice, this is simple enough. However, add to this a 1920s grading operation, professional experiences with previously undocumented fill profiles, and small excavation unit archaeology, and it almost missed the big picture -- until a recent recovery-oriented excavation program exposed sediment profiles that were not what they were presumed to have been. Bring your own seating and warm clothing. Info, San Diego County Archaeological Society, 858-538-0935.
