Society for California Archaeology 2010 Annual Meeting

78 Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010
The Civilian Conservation Corps in California was instrumental in helping construct
infrastructure and buildings for many National Parks, National Forests and other public lands
around California in the 1930’s. The camps were instrumental in economic recovery from the
Great Depression and, though not intended as such, helped prepare men for the demands of
World War II. This paper will address the outcome of many of these projects, people involved,
costs, camp life, oral history and some of those surviving structures constructed on the Sequoia
National Forest by the original CCC in the 1930s.

The Burro Mine Camp: An Early 1900s Mining Camp
• General Session 6 (De Anza South); Friday, 1:45 PM
The Granite Knob and Lion Fires occurred in 2009 on the Sequoia National Forest by lightning
strikes and these fires threatened an early 1900’s mining camp. The camp is so named by a handmade
plaque on a tree with early 1910 – 1950’s artifacts on site. This paper will examine the
artifacts of the two sections of the camp and the area of exploration near this site. An additional
nearby burned over mining and hunting camp will also be addressed as to the unintentional
effects that fire has done to this site.

What Should I Know About Decal-Decorated Ceramics?
• Poster Session 3 (Ben H. Lewis Hall North); Friday, 10:30 - 11:55 AM
British and American potteries began using decals in the 1890s to decorate ceramic tableware
and other vessels. Archaeologists find many types of decorated ceramic fragments on early 20th
century sites. This poster will show how to differentiate between transfer print and decal
ceramics, and provide suggestions for analysis.

Stabilizing the Franklin Point Historic Shipwreck Cemetery.
• Symposium 11 (Citrus Heritage); Friday, 1:15 PM
Victims from three shipwrecks were interred near the site of their deaths at Franklin Point, Año
Nuevo State Park. They were from the Sir John Franklin (1865), the Coya (1866) and Hellespont
(1868). Erosion and hikers have exposed several burials and others were recovered through
controlled archaeological methods. Prior to their reinterment detailed forensic studies were done
to learn about their lives at sea. The cemetery has since been stabilized by the construction of a
pedestrian boardwalk trail and observation decks, and the deceased mariners are again resting
under a wooden deck.
