Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Desert <strong>Archaeology</strong><br />
Chair: Claude N. Warren (University of Nevada, Las Vegas)<br />
This symposium is in honor of Robert S. Begole <strong>for</strong> his support of Cali<strong>for</strong>nia desert archaeology.<br />
Four of the papers on field work are supported by the Begole Archaeological Research<br />
Grant Program of the Anza-Borrego Foundation. Topics include papers on chemically sourcing<br />
soapstone, protein-residue analysis of material in bedrock milling features, a report on the<br />
Tono-Kohni site complex near Tehachapi, evaluating the Medieval Climatic Anomaly in the<br />
western Mojave, landscapes and land use along Soda Playa, and the archaeological significance<br />
of Late Holocene lakes in the Mojave Sink.<br />

Quantitative Approaches to Understanding Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Prehistory<br />
Organizers: Brian Codding (Stan<strong>for</strong>d University) and Nathan Stevens (UC Davis)<br />
Most data collected in archaeological investigations are quantitative. As such, much of what<br />
we know about the past comes to us in the <strong>for</strong>m of counts and measurements, whether direct<br />
or derived through specialized analyses. Adding to our understanding of prehistory thus depends<br />
just as much on our ability to approach quantitative data in new and interesting ways
