What caused the various cultures to roam the San Dieguito area? Evidental 1 ly, when herds moved west away from the drying inland valleys the hunting and gathering clans followed the animals to the wetter coastal regions. It was these animals - woolly mam- moths, wild boars and saber-toothed ti~ gers - that were hunted with the projec- tile spears found today. Fragments of mammoth teeth have been found and dated in the North County area, allowing scientists and archaeologists to dif- ferentiate between many types of wild animals that lived thousands ofyear ago, possibly as recently as 5,000 years ago. The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Socie- ty videotaped Moriorty's lecture and slide presentation. For those who missed the meeting, the videotape will be avail- able for viewing through the society. Of further interest, is a 20-minute film due to be released soon, produced by Michael Humblett, highlighting Osuna adobe homes, both in restored and un- touched form, in the Rancho Santa Fe area. The historical society can provide further information on these films.

The method allows for dating organic living matter, such as charcoal, and de- termining its age by analyzing its rate of decay Scripps Institute of Oceanogra- phy was instrumental in conducting much of San Diego County's carbon datin~. In 1960 Monorty and colleague Roger went back to the Harris site in Rancho an a F to t aC'e the '20s dig. Though they were unable to find any organic dateable material there, they did find some not far from the property similar to Roger's original findings. What they found marked a giant leap in history Up to this point two cultures were known to have roamed the San Diego area the h storical Dieguefio Indi- ans and the La Jollan Indians dating back 7,000years before the present-the oldest recorded evidence of civilization in San Diego County. In stepped UCLA scientist Claude Warren, y, ho dug up the Harris site once again He succeeded in finding dateable material and topped the current record. He determined a date of 9,030 (plus or

Where the steep rocky canyon opens into t he San Dieguito River, Rogers found classical "caveman" type arti- fact : proJectile points up to eight inches long composed mainly ofgreen felsite At that time Rogers had no way of accurate- ly dating the handmade tools which were unique in hape and structure.
