Spanish settlers during the mission period immivrants durin/.( the <br /> <br />Califonlia Gold Rush. and people drawn to Plcasanton for 3Rricultural and other resources weave into <br /> <br />the rich tapestr:}' of Pleasanton's cultural histor:}'. Each period of settlement in Pleasanton has added a <br /> <br />new layer to its cultural fabric with burials. place names streets and buildings religions. and <br /> <br />institutions. For example. people in Pleasanton still refer to its creeks as arroyos. follow the same <br /> <br />street grid established by the Neals and Kottingers. hike along the arroyos once peopled by the Native <br /> <br />Americans and ranch in the Southeast Hilts and alon!, the Pleasanton Ridge like the early settlers. <br /> <br />Archaeolov.ical remains arc scattered throughout the Pleasanton Planning Area. and concentrate <br /> <br />mostly along arroyos and near former marshlands and springs. Accordinv to a review of available <br /> <br />records by the Northwest Information Center of the California Archaeological Inventor:}' there arc <br /> <br />several recorded and reported prehistoric and historic archaeological sites in the Plcasanton Planning <br /> <br /> <br />Area. These sites include a prehistoric camp or temporar:}' village: a prehistoric occupation site with <br /> <br />mortars pestles. and arrowheads: two sites that contain chert tools and cranial fragments; and an <br /> <br />historic famlhouse.19~o Because archaeolo~.;sts have surveyed so little of the Planning Area. it is likely <br /> <br />that there are additional buried resources beyond those reported and/or recorded and inventoried. <br /> <br />OPEN SPACE LANDS <br /> <br />'l1,e General Plan designates five categories of Open Space in the Planning Area.
