J-3 ..74r Odd Artifacts Unearthed In Downtown Dig By CLIFF SMITH Science Writer, The san Dlff0 Union Archaeologist-historian Ray Brandes picked up a piece of broken pottery, identi- fied ,t as Japanese circa 1920 and declared it to be of fine quality. On the same table m Dr. Brandes' University of San Diego laboratory was an Odd assortment of other relics: AWlldroot hair tonic bottle, Navy trouser buttons, a World War 1 Army canteen, a 1945 series D pen_ny, a 1915 dime, a gas lamp, several nfired 22 caliber cartridges an ancient ~hisky bottle, a Coca Cola bottle made in S n Diego, and several old shoes. All had been taken with great car from e top layers of a great, bank-like heap of soil and refw;e more than six feet deep, which has accumulated over th la t 107 years behind the Marin Hotel at 553 Fifth Ave . "So~etimes I wonder what we might fmd going deeper," Brandes said. "We got down only about three feet. Then, we had to stop so as not to interfere With re tora- tion work on the building." Site Of Furniture Factory Brandes agreed they might even find tools that John Young used to make teak and walnut coffins. Young, a Canadian, operated a furniture factory and store in the first building on the site, built in 1870 or perhaps a little earlier. He called his business the Pioneer Furniture Store. In 1881, The San Diego Union told of a new two-story wood and brick building bemg. erected on the same site. Young occupied part of the building and other rooms were used by lawyers and physi- cians. The present building, a four-story brick structure, was constructed in 1888. A suc- cession of owners followed Young, who retired and sold his business In 1894, and by 1915 the building was being operated as the Aerie Hotel in the heart of what became a red light district called Stin- garee Town. That was the same year that the first dnve to clean up the bawdy area was waged. Terri Virden, a USD graduate student, has spent three months researching this single building. Still there are big gaps in its history. It is not even known, for example, when the Marin Hotel, now vacant, came into being. Digging deeper into the refuse heap Brandes believes, could solve some of the mysteries and, perhaps, reveal much about other people and places important In the history of Alonzo Horton's New Town. Fritz Ahearn, present owner of the build- ing, has invited the scientists to continue the dig later and to consider excavating Meanwhile, Brandes is eyeing other pro- spective excavation sites in the Gaslamp Quarter. One hot prospect, he said, is a "patio" behind a building in the old Chi- nese district. He declined to identify the site more precisely. "We constantly have to worry about the pot hunters," he explained. "Right now there is some bottle collector working around town at night with flood lamps." . Whatever site is chosen for the next dig, 1t will be worked in part by those who enroll in a new course being offered by USD. The course, titled "The Management of Archaeological Resources," will be con- ducted Saturday mornings from Jan. 21 through April 29. "We will do an excavation somewhere in the Gaslamp Quarter to provide instruc- tion In setting up an archaeological dig, to research and document the historicity of a specific building and to train persons wish- ing to become archaeological techni- cians," Brandes explained. "We also will involve people in the course in an excavation at Mission San Diego de Alcala." Brandes said persons interested in the course may attend an orientation meeting at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 11 in room 104 of USD's Founders Hall. beneath the basement floor. Other Sites Considered

(Continued from Page C-1) "Basketball is a low over- head sport. It probably wouldn't cost that much more to go Division I, but there are several other proj- ects needmg funding that the university is also consider- ing." A school can attain Divi- sion I status merely by de- claring its intentions to do so but is required by the NCAA then to schedule 75 per cent of its games against Division I level foes . USD's current 26-game schedule includes , only three Division I teams. Division I level schools are allowed to have 15 basket- ball players on athletic scholarship at any time. Di- vision II schools are limited to 12 and USD currently has 10 players on scholarship. Any move to the upper level would involve in- creased costs for additional scholarships needed to be competitive, travel expenses and other necessities. The other possibility , alignment with the CCAA might be appealing for om reason-it would elimmat.E what has been a bothersom( problem to the Toreros ove, the past two seasons. That problem has been tht · team's inability to secure a place in the Division n post- season playoffs despite 15-10 and 20-7 records. The CCAA champion IS au- tomatically given a berth in the playoffs. Should USO join the CCAA it would be al a size disad- vantage to the other mem- ber schools. But USD cur- rently has home-and-home arrangements with three CCAA schools and has a 9-4 record with the league's membcr~hip over the past thrN? s :i"°ns
