Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 109 Recent studies with replica and archaeological tools made of Monterey chert suggest this new method, as well as many previous conventional studies, provide valid functional data. STEVENS, Nathan E. University of California, Davis see HALE, Micah STEVENS, Nathan E. University of California, Davis see HANTEN, Nicholas STEWART, John CASSP Symposium 12 (Arlington); Friday, 1:30 - 4:00 PM Panelist STOFFLE, Richard University of Arizona VAN VLACK, Kathleen University of Arizona Along the Salt Song Trail- Understanding Southern Paiute Places along the Trail to the Afterlife • Symposium 13 (La Sierra); Saturday, 8:45 AM The souls of deceased Numic and Pai people travel to the afterlife along the 1,000 mile long Salt Song Trail, which traverses traditional Southern Paiute and Hualapai territories. Songs and dances not only move the soul along the route but identify where it is spiritually and physically on the trail. Trail places traditionally are not discussed, but when these are placed at risk by development the meaning and actual locations are revealed to protect them. This paper presents case studies of when and why Southern Paiute peoples have spoken out to protect Salt Song Trail locations. STRATTON, Susan California Office of Historic Preservation • Symposium 12 (Arlington); 1:30 - 4:00 PM Panelist STURDEVANT, Jay T., National Park Service SKALSKY, Rod WIENK, Cody L. National Park Service Exploring the Fire and Archeology Interface in Multiple Ecosystems. • Symposium 2 (Victoria South); Thursday, 2:00 PM Today, park managers must routinely balance the restoration needs of natural resources with the preservation of cultural resources. This project was designed to provide park managers with scientific data on the impacts from wildland fire to archeological resources. Experimental
110 Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 research was conducted at six parks to record data on fire conditions (i.e., fuels, fire temperature, and burn duration) and the impacts on multiple classes of archeological materials routinely observed at sites within the Midwest region, which includes thirteen states along the Great Lakes, the Upper Mississippi River Valley, and the northern and central Great Plains. Experiments were conducted in multiple ecozones to explore the environmental variables that influence impacts to archeological resources including Great Plains grasslands, Ozark Highland hardwood forests, and Eastern Woodlands/Great Lakes mixed hardwood and pine forests. The experimental study of fire conditions in different regional environments addresses questions regarding the threats or non-threats to multiple archeological resource types and provides a methodology that can be utilized throughout the country to generate data that can assist with predicting the impacts from wildland fire on archeological resources. By gaining a more thorough understanding of the fire/archeology interface at select parks in different ecosystems, public land managers will be able to more effectively coordinate the needs of natural resource management with archeological resource preservation. SUTTON, Elizabeth A. University of California, Santa Barbara Getting Students Involved in the Curation Process: Examples from the UCSB Repository for Archaeological and Ethnographic Collections • Symposium 6 (La Sierra); Friday, 9:00 AM Many curation facilities in California are understaffed and operating on extremely tight budgets. Curators do what they can to meet the demands of processing incoming collections and loan and research requests, but many projects such as updating records and storage conditions for older collections are delayed. This paper describes the efforts of the UCSB Repository over the last two years to involve undergraduate student interns in the curation process. With the hard work of student interns the facility has been able to undertake a series of projects to update collections and documentation and encourage collections research. TEETER, Wendy Fowler Museum at UCLA The Curation Crisis: 30 Years Later Looking Out from a University Museum • Plenary Session (Ben H. Lewis Hall South); Thursday, 9:45 AM Concerns about the long-term care costs of collections have been discussed since the late 1970s. In 1990 36 CFR Part 79 set a standard for federal collections care, but more importantly it highlighted the lack of funding set aside for archaeological collections and the lack of professional expertise of repositories where the collections reside. NAGPRA raised similar concerns on top of content expertise and descendent community involvement. Almost twenty more years have gone by. This presentation will review some of the current strengths and weaknesses as well as future possibilities as viewed from within a university museum. TEJADA, Barbara S. California State Parks Our History is Washing Away: A Different Perspective on Global Warming • Symposium 1 (La Sierra;, Thursday, 1:42 PM In light of this year's theme of conservation and management, as well as the current debate on global warming, I will briefly touch on the emerging issue of site loss due to rising sea levels.
