Bolsa Chica Cogged Stone Site

What would you do. . .

• If you knew there is an 8,000 year-old archeological site in your area?
• If you knew it has never been fully excavated?
• If you knew some of its artifacts have only been found in two other places in the world?
• If you knew it was considered a Native American sacred site?
• If you knew the State of California felt it is one of our most important archeological sites?
• If you knew it could be lost to development?

This place actually exists in Huntington Beach and is known as ORA 83, the Sacred Cogged Stone site. It is a six-acre parcel on the Bolsa Chica Mesa that remains privately owned. The Brightwater development has already destroyed a portion of ORA 83 and there was never an accounting for the artifacts recovered from the site.

The time to act is now if you feel that the Sacred Cogged Stone site should be saved for future generations. Please call the Land Trust office at 714-846-1001 to find out what you can do to preserve this wonderful treasure from the past.
