Los Angeles N - Z

CA: Los Angeles Co.

rule

Location of Los Angeles.

There is a relatively large number of sites within Los Angeles County (most within the city limits of Los Angeles), with many of the sites with only one or a few taxa. To keep the number of linked sites to a reasonable number, the decision has been made to handle many of these under three groupings: Los Angeles A - D, Los Angeles E - M, and Los Angeles N - Z. Within each major group, sites are grouped by age. Sites dated as 18O substage 5e (130-120 ka BP) in Jefferson (1991a, 1991b) are assigned to the Sangamon interglacial for our purposes.

Since many of the site names will be unfamiliar to persons not attuned to Los Angeles and vicinity, the site names from the three Los Angeles County site accounts are underlined in the taxon accounts, indicating that they are located within Los Angeles County.
