Complexity in the Upper San Luis Rey River: Testing True and Waugh’s Model of San Luis Rey Settlement Patterns
San Diego County Archaeological Society is pleased to present Russ Collett who will speak about a paper he wrote with Richard D. Schultz about settlement patterns in northern San Diego County. Delbert True and Georgie Waugh (1981, 1982) posited Late Prehistoric settlement models for the San Luis Rey (SLR) River and the southern flank of Palomar Mountain. Within their study area they noted numerous SLR I period, and fewer, but larger SLR II period settlements. They also indicated an increasing emphasis towards bipolar settlement in the latter period. Additionally, they predicted settlements elsewhere along the San Luis Rey River would follow similarly. The results of Shultz and Collett’s research in the upper reaches of the San Luis Rey watersheds appear to contradict True and Waugh’s observations and their predictions for consistency within the river system.
Cost: FREE
