San Miguel Chapel Site
The San Miguel Chapel Site is an archeological site in Ventura, California, United States, at the location of the first outpost and center of operations that was established while the first Mission San Buenaventura was being constructed. The San Miguel Chapel was located just outside the southwest corner of the walled garden that was constructed as part of the ultimate layout of the mission complex. The open space park is located at southwest corner of the intersection of Thompson Boulevard and Palm Street in downtown Ventura.〔(City Map ) (searchable GIS). City of Ventura. Accessed 28 September 2013〕 The site is protected and managed as a natural environment by the city parks department.
==History==
The site was excavated, beginning in 1974, by students from Moorpark College who uncovered rock foundations, the aqueduct that served the mission compound, and portions of a painted wall. As the city began to acquire the site in 1975, the City Council endorsed the application for the site to be placed on the national register〔Resolution 75-110 of the City Council adopted and passed July 14, 1975〕 and designated this site "Historic Point of Interest Number 16."〔( Landmark #16: San Miguel Chapel Site ) accessed 7 October 2013 from link on (City Map with Historic Landmarks )〕 The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.〔
A nearby archeological dig, uncovered a portion of the wall foundation as expected from historical surveys and maps. The mission orchard wall was built with large stones, some 40 to 50 pounds. The dig, performed before new apartments are built, found artifacts from many periods including Ventura's first courthouse and jail, and its first hospital. The dig also revealed signs of the long history of human settlement in the area around the mission such as American Indians beads made of shells harvested from the nearby ocean.〔Clerici, Kevin ("Artifacts are found at site" ) ''Ventura County Star'' 17 July 2007〕 Shisholop Village, designated Historic Point of Interest #18 by the city at the foot of nearby Figueroa Street, was the site of a Chumash village believed to have been a Chumash provincial capital. Tomols, the plank-built boats, were commonly launched from this location. Archaeological records show that the village was settled sometime around 1000 A.D.〔( Landmark #18: Shisholop Village Site ) accessed 7 October 2013 from link on (City Map with Historic Landmarks )〕 Archaeological discoveries in the area suggest that humans have populated the region for at least 10,000-12,000 years.
"Coast Live Oak Tree, Historic Landmark Number 96," is a mature Quercus agrifolia designated by City Council resolution on March 27, 2006. Located at the southwest corner of the chapel site, the tree is the largest of its species within the City of Ventura and estimated to be 160 to 200 years old.〔( Landmark #96: Coast Live Oak Tree ) accessed 16 December 2013〕
