Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 117 previous chronometric chronology using blind-testing, re-analyses, cross-comparisons of techniques, multiple analyses on specific motifs, new samples, and two different labs and analysts. Approximately 100 independent ages on 60 petroglyphs, using three techniques, were obtained. Concordance between VML and previous cation-ratio ages was about 70%; overall age range was approximately 12,000 to 300 YBP, indicating significant Paleoindian rock art; no evidence for stylistic evolution; and an increase in petroglyph production in the last 2000 years. WIENK, Cody L. National Park Service see STURDEVANT, Jay WILLIAMS, Brian ASM Affiliates, Inc. see GARCIA-HERBST, Arleen WILLITS, Nikki CSU, Chico Prehistoric Food Fights: Fracture Patterning by Sex in Central California • Poster Session 4 (Ben H. Lewis Hall North); 3:30 - 5:00 PM During the late Holocene, changes in subsistence practices have been documented in California. Decreased mobility, in situ population growth, and changes in subsistence may have influenced patterns of skeletal trauma through time. This research considers the osteological ramifications of resource intensification in the prehistoric Sacramento Valley of central California through the examination of postcranial traumatic injury through time (ca. 4900-200 B.P.). The distribution of fractures is examined by sex, age, and temporal period. The implications of these patterns for California prehistory will be discussed. WILSON, Ken Ken Wilson CRM Consulting • Symposium 12 (Arlington); Saturday, 1:30 - 4:00 PM Moderator WOHLGEMUTH, Eric Far Western Anthropological Research Group Soft Technology in the Lithic Record: Changes in Basketry Material Processing at Angels Camp, Calaveras County • Poster Session 4 (Ben H. Lewis Hall North); Friday, 3:30 - 5:00 PM 88 "notched tabulars", unmodified thin slate pieces with marginal notches, were found in data recovery excavations at 3 sites in the Angels Camp Bypass. Nearly all (86) were found at CAL- 2054, a summer camp located in a low wet area with abundant sedges, roots of which were used as fine basketry material. Their absence at adjacent CAL-1722/H, a winter camp on a prominent ridge, suggests notched tabular function was tied to wetland resources at CAL-2054, notably sedge. Changes in notched tabulars over the 2-3,000 years of occupation suggest more complex basketry was produced later in time.
118 Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 WOLF, Scott ASM Affiliate Inc. Munitions and weapons at the Casa de Bandini/Cosmopolitan Hotel: Shot is small, heavy and round, and unfortunately it travels down • General Session 6 (De Anza South); Friday, 2:45 PM The 2008-09 test excavations conducted by ASM Affiliates Inc., at the Casa de Bandini/Cosmopolitan Hotel in Old Town State Historic Park, yielded a significant amount of cultural material that represents a diverse range of life in Old Town, from the Spanish era to the Late American period. Artifacts recovered during the testing phase of the project represent almost all facets of human life that pertain to existence in Old Town San Diego. Even a small subset of data, such as the munitions and firearms material recovered from the project can describe a diverse and extensive sequence of time, cultural change, and San Diego history. WOOD, Susan University of California, Riverside Connections: Field School, Grad School, and Research Interests • Symposium 10 (La Sierra); Friday, 1:15 PM The cost of attending a field school was the best money I ever spent, I just wish I had done it sooner. I had my Bachelors Degree in hand, a desire to attend graduate school in my heart, and a confusion of varied research interests spinning around in my head. The question was, what do I do now? Field school not only taught me all the skills I needed to secure an entry level archaeological tech job, but it introduced me to people who became instrumental in my graduate career and research. WOOD, Susan University of California, Riverside Holcomb Valley's Civil War Connection: Utilizing an Interdisciplinary Approach in Exploring the Role of Holcomb Valley in Civil War Politics • Symposium 1 (La Sierra); Thursday, 2:00 PM Holcomb Valley in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California was the site of Southern California's largest goldrush in 1860. The San Bernardino National Forest, in conjunction with their Applied Archaeology Field School, has conducted archaeological research here for the past three years. They plan to nominate the area to the Nation Register as a Historic Mining District. To complement and support the archaeology, I have been performing historical and archival research on the Valley. This interdisciplinary approach has been vital to the identification of a significant tie to California Civil War history that may be utilized in the nomination. YOHE II., Robert M.
