In December, 1846, nineteen U.S. soldiers and an unknown number of Californios lost their lives in the Battle of San Pasqual, in what is now San Diego County, California. The exact location of the battlefield, however, remains a mystery. The goal of the San Pasqual Battlefield Site Location Project is scholarly and field research to determine its location, a professional archeological investigation to learn about the battle and aftermath, and recovery of artifacts for historic preservation.
