  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Botanical evidence based on the dendrochronology and root horizons of redwoods (&lt;i&gt;Sequoia sempervirens&lt;/i&gt;) and radiocarbon dating were used to date prehistoric mudflows near Big Sur, Calif. At least three periods of mudflow activity were delineated for the approximate prehistoric period 1370-1800. Two historic periods of mudflow activity have occurred, 1908-10 and 1972-73. The documentation of mudflows as characteristic surficial processes in the Santa Lucia Range indicates a hazard to development on recent mudflow deposits in this region.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
