Hi, this is Edna Kimbro returning your two calls. I haven’t been listening to my answering machine apparently. At any rate, I’d be happy to help you.

Mission Hill Junior High is in an area that was part of the larger mission complex. And over in that vicinity was the mission tannery and the mission tanning vats, and a little down from it was the mission grist mill, and a little up from it was the mission limestone quarry. So, it’s right in that area of mission activities. Now, what exactly lies there or was there, we don’t know, but it’s in an area of sensitivity and high likelihood that there would be mission-period resources found underground in that area. We know there were tile kilns kind of in that direction, maybe not right there, but very near there. And we know that there may have been lime kilns – we don’t know exactly where they were, but they were in that general vicinity.

Now Caltrans, when they were proposing to widen Highway 1, they did a rather big study and they might have some more specific knowledge although I don’t think that their study was any more in-depth than the ones that I’ve been a part of. So, it’s a question of suspecting and realizing that there’s really high potential for some surface remains in that area.

OK? Bye.
