the resource was taken, should be the decision makers on disposition or curation. I will share
some examples that highlight serious problems and inadequacies with the care and curation of
collections originating from the San Manuel Tribe’s traditional lands. I will discuss efforts that
the Tribe is making to address these problems.

Preliminary Interpretations of Plant Resource Availability at Santa Cruz Island using
Macrobotanical Analysis

Author presents preliminary results of the identification of plant genera present in
macrobotanical samples obtained from four sites on Santa Cruz Island, with a focus on the
Transitional period (A.D. 1150 – 1300). Objectives include identifying patterns of plant

Collaborating to Protect Collections: Examples from the Pacific Northwest
• Plenary Session (Ben H. Lewis Hall South); Thursday, 10:45 AM
The continued maintenance and care for archaeological collections is important to not only
archaeologists and but also to the Native American communities from which they came.
However due to money constraints, lack of personnel and /or incomplete knowledge of artifact
provenience and provenance, researchers and Native American communities are unable to use
the collections in a way that would increase their knowledge about the past. Using examples
from my research with Pacific Northwest tribes, I will highlight a few mutually beneficial
projects created by an intertribal and inter-agency collaborative work groups. I suggest that these
projects should be emulated by California archaeologists and Native American communities.
