description: This document is for visits made on 6 February and again on 11 February, 1976, Laurence Spanne to the site  of the proposed location for a new cable trench between Bear Creek,  Old Surf and Coast Roads on South Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The proposed route for the cable trench was found to transect archaeological site CA-SBA-549 for a distance of approximately 1250 feet along a line beginning at a point about 300 feet southwest of the inter section of Bear Creek and Old Surf Roads and extending southwesterly down slope to the northern edge of a freshwater marsh at the floor of Bear Creek Valley. The entire length of this section of the proposed route was carefully examined on foot and was found to contain unbroken surface deposits of archaeological materials. These consisted primarily of lithic detritus in the form of waste flakes and cracked cobbles, which seem to represent an intermittently occupied, specialized prehistoric site. A nearby historic archaeological site, CA-SBA-773, was found to be located some distance to the east of the proposed cable trench.
