Project Name: Santa Rosa Creek Road Repair and Alignment, Cambria, San Luis Obispo County, California Services: Phase I Archaeological Survey and Site Identification Client: County of San Luis Obispo Public Works Department

At the request of the County of San Luis Obispo Public Works Department, Padre archaeologists conducted a Phase I archaeological study for the Santa Rosa Creek Road Repair and Realignment Project in Cambria. The proposed Project includes repairs and a realignment of a portion of Santa Rosa Creek Road that was washed-out during the 2016 rainy season. A records search completed at the Central Coast Information Center, identified one prehistoric habitation site within the southwest corner of the Project site. Padre archaeologists relocated the prehistoric habitation site and significantly expanded the site's boundaries to the north and east. Padre's senior archaeologist reported the records search and survey results in a technical report to the County and recommended Phase II subsurface testing and evaluation within the portions of the Project that will impact the archaeological site.
