Abstract

ERC undertook this study as part of required compliance under California law. The village site contains two components, an Early Period component, which is outside the time period for Late Southern California, and a Late Period component. The village site covers a larger area than the ERC project site and is composed of five recorded sites: SDI-5413, SDI-4609, SDI-5443, W-654, and E:4:18. This report discusses and summarizes the previous archaeological surveys and excavations that occurred on and around the historic village of YSTAGUA. More than half this site report is composed of charts, graphs, and artifact catalogs. YSTAGUA is the ethnographically recorded village visited by the Portolá expedition in 1769. Artifacts found at the site include ceramic fragments including one ceramic pipe fragment, Late Period style projectile points, hammerstones, manos and metate fragments, a fishing weight, tarring pebbles, shell beads, two fragments of worked turtle shell, other worked bone and bone, shell, and lithic debitage.
