Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 69 GASKELL, Sandra ARC Archaeology Resources & Culture BROCHINI, Tony Chairman Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation HOGAN, Wes Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation JOHNSON, Danette Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation GIS Real Time Mapping, Populating Boundaries of Yosemite California Treaties • General Session 7 (La Sierra); Friday, 4:00 PM Mapping the historic boundary marker references of each of the congressional maps from the eighteen unratified Treaties of 1851–1852 between the California Indians and the United States government required research to correlate data to visualize their locations. When the congressional treaty maps were compared to remnant family use tracts of the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation defined by Stephen Powers (1866), they confirmed the literature review, family oral history, and population data reflecting existing occupation sites of 1850 inhabited inside the proposed Treaty areas. The value of retaining population loci has been beneficial in the preservation of traditional cultural properties found within them.

ASM Affiliates, Inc. LECHNER, Theresa ASM Affiliates, Inc. A Natural and Archaeological Overview of the Bircham Uplands, Naval Air Weapons Station, China Lake, California • Symposium 9 (De Anza North); Friday, 3:30 PM A recent cultural resources inventory of 2,500 acres in the Bircham Uplands has identified more than 200 prehistoric archaeological sites of notable complexity. Present at most locations are multiple bedrock milling features, large flaked and ground stone tool assemblages, and various petroglyphs. The frequency of sites within this study area is apparently unmatched anywhere yet inventoried at NAWS China Lake, and the constituents of most imply the frequent and regular re-use of living areas.

Evidence for Recurrent Use of the Bircham Uplands • Symposium 9 (De Anza North); Friday, 4:00 PM An impressive array of archaeological data reflects the frequent and regular use of the Bircham Uplands, particularly during the Late Holocene. In combination, the kinds of diagnostic projectile points, attributes of milling features, and composition of rock art panels present at many sites provide evidence of multiple prehistoric occupations, some perhaps widely divergent in time and variable in purpose. GLASSOW, Michael Department of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara Consideration of Mid-Holocene Settlement Systems on Santa Cruz Island • General Session 5 (Victoria South); Friday, 4:00 PM A distinctive type of site on western Santa Cruz Island consists of a shell midden containing an unusual abundance of red abalone shells. These have been dated between 6300 and 5300 cal BP. Although most are less than 30 m in diameter, one is much larger and is associated with a cemetery. Kennett proposed that this dichotomy reflects a form of settlement system in which the small sites were logistical encampments and the large site with the cemetery was a primary village. Other possibilities may be proposed, however, that also account for the variation in the characteristics of these sites. GLEESON, Molly University of California, Los Angeles PEARLSTEIN, Ellen LEWIS, Allison GENCAY Ustun, Ozge WERDEN, Elizabeth PICKMAN, Steven DEBRER, Christian UCLA/Getty Master’s Program in the Conservation of Archaeological and Ethnographic Materials Examination and documentation of plant fibers used in Southern California basketry • Symposium 8 (Citrus Heritage); Friday, 11:00 AM As part of a course in the UCLA/Getty Master’s Program in the Conservation of Archaeological and Ethnographic Materials, the authors carried out a project to examine and document plant fibers used in Southern California Native basketry. Through a combination of methods, including microscopic examination of processed and unprocessed fibers, the authors were able to characterize and identify basketry elements. This work was published last year and in some cases, fiber sections prepared by the authors were the first published examples of these plants available for researchers. This publication serves as an important reference for the study of plant fiber remains found in Southern California archaeological sites.
