In 1947, three field trips (March, April, and May) were made by the Archaeological Survey Association of Southern California (ASA) to Moody Springs (CA–LAn–83) through the leadership of Howard Arden Edwards. These field trips to Moody Springs were made up of just Mr. Edwards and one other person and were given a 1.S accession number. The Southwest Museum (1.S) collection consists of cultural items collected in March of 1947. San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM) also obtained a small group of objects from Moody Springs, which was given the catalog number SBCM–818 (CA–LAn–83). It is unclear why or how SBCM–818 was disenfranchised from the rest of the collection, though there were many instances of collection sharing between the Southwest Museum (now part of the Autry Museum) and SBCM during this period.
