Evidence <strong>for</strong> Recurrent Use of the Bircham Uplands<br />

• Symposium 9 (De Anza North); Friday, 4:00 PM<br />

An impressive array of archaeological data reflects the frequent and regular use of the Bircham<br />

Uplands, particularly during the Late Holocene. In combination, the kinds of diagnostic<br />

projectile points, attributes of milling features, and composition of rock art panels present at<br />

many sites provide evidence of multiple prehistoric occupations, some perhaps widely divergent<br />

in time and variable in purpose.<br />

Consideration of Mid-Holocene Settlement Systems on Santa Cruz Island<br />

• General Session 5 (Victoria South); Friday, 4:00 PM<br />

A distinctive type of site on western Santa Cruz Island consists of a shell midden containing an<br />

unusual abundance of red abalone shells. These have been dated between 6300 and 5300 cal BP.<br />

Although most are less than 30 m in diameter, one is much larger and is associated with a<br />

cemetery. Kennett proposed that this dichotomy reflects a <strong>for</strong>m of settlement system in which<br />

the small sites were logistical encampments and the large site with the cemetery was a primary<br />

village. Other possibilities may be proposed, however, that also account <strong>for</strong> the variation in the<br />

characteristics of these sites.<br />

Examination and documentation of plant fibers used in Southern Cali<strong>for</strong>nia basketry<br />

• Symposium 8 (Citrus Heritage); Friday, 11:00 AM<br />

As part of a course in the UCLA/Getty Master’s Program in the Conservation of Archaeological<br />

and Ethnographic Materials, the authors carried out a project to examine and document plant<br />

fibers used in Southern Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Native basketry. Through a combination of methods,<br />

including microscopic examination of processed and unprocessed fibers, the authors were able to<br />

characterize and identify basketry elements. This work was published last year and in some<br />

cases, fiber sections prepared by the authors were the first published examples of these plants<br />

available <strong>for</strong> researchers. This publication serves as an important reference <strong>for</strong> the study of plant<br />

fiber remains found in Southern Cali<strong>for</strong>nia archaeological sites.
