Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 41 ALLEN, Jennie A. Department of Anthropology, California State University See AINIS, Amira ALLEN, Mark W. California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Evaluating the Medieval Climatic Anomaly in the Western Mojave Desert: The View from Sage Canyon • Symposim 4 (De Anza North); Thursday, 3:15 PM Sutton et al. (2007) have proposed a model for the Western Mojave Desert that argues for considerable cultural complexity in the form of large village sites in well-watered locations during the late Gypsum to the late Rose Spring Complexes. It also posits that around 1,000 BP drastic changes were set in motion largely by the Medieval Climatic Anomaly. These include shifts in technology, settlement pattern, obsidian trade, and likely population density. The explanatory potential of this model is being further examined through surveys and test excavations at Red Mountain and Sage Canyon, two contrasting regions of the Western Mojave ALLEN, Mark W. California State Polytechnic University, Pomona BURNS, Gregory R. California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, COWIE, Laura C. California State University, Fullerton Household Analysis at Tomo-Kahni: Late Prehistoric Domestic Space on the Western Edge of the Mojave • Symposium 4 (De Anza North); Thursday, 3:00 PM The Tomo-Kahni site complex near Tehachapi lies at the heart of the Kawaiisu cultural area on the edge of the Mojave Desert. CA-KER-230, one of the principle residential components, dates primarily from the Late Prehistoric into the historic period. It and other sites were excavated by the Archaeological Survey Association in the 1950s and Antelope Valley College from 1971-72. We present an analysis of the KER-230 collections from several house pits. We also argue that the household scale of analysis may be a fruitful approach for assessing archaeological models for the Mojave and adjacent areas such as the Southern Sierra. ALLEN, Mark W. Cal Poly Pomona see JONES, Terry L. ALVITRE, Cindi M. Tongva Crisis Curation Networking: Case Studies of Action and Intervention by a California Indian Community • Plenary Session (Ben H. Lewis Hall South); Thursday, 10:30 AM As contemporary archaeology moves forward in addressing issues of curatorial responsibilities, "previously unreported collections" continue to emerge adding to an already saturated list of archaeological and ethnographical collections. A sobering reality is that resources are scarce
42 Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 and not all tribes have the same access. Solutions to curatorial challenges require a balance between institution knowledge and creative responses. This presentation will discuss the current situation at California State University, Long Beach, as an example of how the local Tongva community has responded to this challenge. ANDERSON, Megan Humboldt State University RICK, Torben BRAJE, Todd BUPPERT, Kiri The Erosion of Archaeological Sites by Seal and Sea Lions on the Northern Channel Islands: Conflicts in Natural and Cultural Resource Management • Poster Session 2 (Ben H. Lewis Hall North); Friday, 9:00 - 10:15 AM California’s Channel Islands harbor a variety of marine wildlife, including thousands of seals and sea lions. Although many North Pacific pinnipeds were driven to near extinction by twentieth century overexploitation, populations have dramatically recovered and, due to federal protection and careful management, many species continue to expand their numbers and ranges. Research has shown, however, that these large populations can have detrimental effects on archaeological sites. Here, we use archaeological excavations from a Middle Period village on San Miguel Island to illustrate the adverse effects pinnipeds can have on archaeological sites and potential conflicts between natural and culture resource management. ANGELOFF, Nick Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria Smith Creek Watershed Cooperative Project • Symposium 7 (De Anza North); Friday, 8:45 AM This presentation will provide the results of a joint project between Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria (Bear River) Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) and Sacramento State University (Sac State) funded by the National Park Service. The Bear River THPO has tied a site with fifty house pits to the Bear River through ethnographic field notes. Sac State has excavated three of the house pits revealing highly significant properties including burned timbers. The results of this project will add significant information to our understanding of the Tribes’ regional prehistory. ANGELOFF, Nick Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria Variability within the Borax Lake Pattern of Northern California • General Session 2 (De Anza South); Friday, 8: 15 AM The Borax Lake Pattern within far northern California is thought to represent a generalized technological organization representing an upland foraging subsistence-settlement strategy with little variation between archaeological assemblages throughout the region. Current research has focused on this variation, as minimal as it may appear, to flesh out our understanding of human behavior during the early Holocene. This research reveals variability in technological organization in response to ecological conditions that is relevant to our understanding of the Borax Lake Pattern.
