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.

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.

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.
