Box 1786 Palm Springs, CA 92263 Cultural Systems Research, Inc. 823 Valparaiso Avenue, Menlo Park, California 94025 (415) 323.9261 . (415) 832.8489 EXHIBIT A August 25, 1988 PROPOSAL FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECONNAISANCE of Tentative Tract 17155 Cultural Systems Research hereby submits a proposal for the archaeological reconnaisance of Tentative Tract 17155, located at the western terminus of Tahquitz-McCallum Drive in Palm Springs, Riverside County, California. This property consists of a portion of the NW 1/4 of the BE 1/4 of Section 15, T4S, R4E, S.B.B.M, as shown on the Palm Springs, CA 7.5' USGS Quadrangle. In order to determine the significance of this site for archaeological, historical and cultural purposes, it will be necessary to engage in a preliminary research effort to determine as exactly as possible what the potential significance is. This can be done in three steps: 1) An archaeological reconnaisance that will test for pre-historic and ethnographic resources in the area that has been recorded as having been the site of the Patencio cemetery up to 1893, and that was mapped by Indian Agent H. N. Rust in 1893 will be the first step; 2) A separaye step will be an archival search for data, circa 1893, in order to see if there is further documentation regarding the use of the site as a cemetery before the Cahuilla were forbidden to make further use of it for that purpose by McManus. This will include a search of the Rust personal and official papers now held by the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, and a review of newspaper accounts of that period. 3) Finally, present-day Cahuillas who may have heard of the use of the area as a cemetery or for other purposes will be interviewed. It is anticipated that oral traditions about the exact location of the cemetery and its uses may still persist. This study is to be limited to that area identified in historic documents and in oral history as a cemetery. The degree of archaeological effort proposed at this time may or may not reveal the location and extent of the cemetery. The historic data at hand, ano, the fact that there are an irrigation ditch, mesquite, cacti, fig trees, and the like suggest that this is the site of the cemetery and a settlement site with multiple other uses. On the other hand, the fact that the site has been greatly disturbed in the present century may make it difficult to find the burials that would confirm the site's use as a cemetery. After this preliminary phase, a description of what has been discovered will be provided the Planning Department of the City of Palm Springs, and recommendations will be made regarding further study, or measures that would mitigate proposed impacts to the site. This research will begin in October, 1988, and will include as investigators Lowell John Bean, Ph.D. and Sylvia Brakke Vane, M.A. , as Principal Investigators, who will serve as project managers, ethnographers and ethnohistorians; Daniel McCarthy of the University of California, Riverside, and C. Michael Elling, as Project Archaeologists, and such crew members as are needed; and Native Americans, who will participate as Archaeological Monitors and Consultants. The Agua Caliente Tribal Council will be advised of all work as it progresses.
