Burro Flats |
|
The general public has been aware of the beautiful polychrome pictographs at the “Burro Flats” site for many years. Most people, however, are not aware that there are well-over 150 other archaeological sites in the Burro Flats area, including numerous Chumash, Western Ranching Tradition, and Space Age/Cold War period sites. The Burro Flats paintings, which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, are located at the 2,850 acre former Santa Susana Field Laboratory, part of which is owned by the North American Land Trust and managed by the Boeing Company, and part of which is owned by the United States General Accounting Office and managed by NASA. |
