Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 81 Cal Poly Pomona, BERRYMAN, Stanley White Sands Miss Range Foragers and Aridity in Southern California: A Trial GIS-Based Macro Analysis • Orgqnized Poster Session 1 (Ben Lewis hall North); Thursday, 2:30 - 4:45 PM For over half a century, California and Great Basin archaeologists have debated the relative effects of two intervals of prolonged aridity on hunter-gatherer populations: the Altithermal and the Medieval Climatic Anomaly (MCA). Growing paleoclimatic data suggests that climate was unusually warm and/or arid during parts of both of these periods in western North America. Here we present the results of a pilot study in which we employed GIS to examine settlement patterns with 276 temporally controlled residential site components from southern California. Distanceto-coast and elevation values show significant settlement shifts associated with the MCA, but patterning associated with the Altithermal is less pronounced and more equivocal. JONES, Terry L. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo The Prehistory of Sea Otters on the Central California Coast • Symposium 1 (La Sierra); Thursday, 1:50 PM Investigations of the timing and relative importance of marine mammal hunting along the California coastal have in recent years been guided by optimization models that offer certain predictions about the order of species exploitation and the likelihood of overharvest. A substantial body of faunal data accumulated in the last two decades from the central coast validates some hypotheses derived from these theoretical models and not others JONES, Terry L.

JOSLIN, Terry University of California, Santa Barbara Oxygen Isotope Analyses from Central California Coast Red Abalone Middens: Implications for Understanding Seasonal Foraging Strategies • Organized Poster Session 1 (Ben H. Lewis Hall North); Thursday, 2:30 - 4:45 PM Oxygen isotope determinations from two red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) middens provides valuable insights on the seasonality of shellfish harvesting in a region were settlement strategies have not been fully defined. This research incorporates new data to assist with our current knowledge on high middle Holocene hunter-gatherer mobility, particularly in light of the sudden appearance of this unique site type around 5200 calBP. The preliminary findings presented here, when used in conjunction with substantially larger isotopic data sets, will assist with developing a more complete picture of resource procurement scheduling and settlement patterns along the open Cambria coastline.
82 Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 KAIJANKOSKI, Philip Far Western Anthropological Research Group MEYER, Jack Far Western Anthropological Research Group What's Underfoot in Shaky Town? Geoarchaeological Investigation in Downtown San Francisco • General Session 2 (De Anza South); Friday, 10:30 AM The dynamic Holocene landscape evolution of the northeastern San Francisco peninsula has resulted in the burial of many prehistoric archaeological sites. Historic-era alterations to the landscape and the urban setting only exacerbate the difficulty of identifying buried prehistoric sites here. For a large redevelopment plan in the South of Market area, a recent subsurface geoarchaeological investigation successfully identified a previously unidentified buried prehistoric site. Additionally, an examination of Holocene landscape evolution provides an assessment of where, and at what depths, prehistoric sites may remain buried under this metropolis. KALDENBERG, Russell see MOLENAAR, Molly KANSA, Sarah The Alexandria Archive Institute HIGELMIRE, Kelly San Diego Archaeological Center CLEVENGER, Liz N. Presidio Trust Exploring User Needs in Archaeological Data-Sharing: Case Studies from California Archaeology • General Session 4 (Citrus Heritage); Friday, 8:30 AM This paper explores how open technologies can best meet the needs of the diverse communities of scholars working with archaeological content. We describe two case studies from California archaeology, the San Diego Archaeological Center and the Presidio Trust in San Francisco. While both organizations seek to find ways to leverage digital technologies to better organize and share their content, different aims and challenges impact their choices. We highlight tools for content sharing that are useful to both groups and discuss solutions to maximize the reach, findability and preservation of heritage content. KELLOGG, Jarrod "X" California State University, Northridge & BLM The Halloran Spring Petroglyphs Survey • Symposium 1 (La Sierra); Thursday, 1:14 PM During December of 2009 a crew of volunteers and a BLM archaeologist relocated and rerecorded approximately 80 petroglyph panels in the Halloran Spring area. Several other features were also recorded, along with previously unknown sites. This is a brief summary of the findings.
