Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 97 The 400-mile-long maritime province from Alta California's southernmost Channel Island (San Clemente) to Baja California's largest Pacific coast island (Cedros) has been minimally targeted by archaeological scholars. Using the little existing published literature, plus on-island visits to the great majority of the islands between San Clemente and Cedros, this paper suggests potential prehistoric maritime areas for investigation. The focus is on prehistoric fisheries, ocean travel, watercraft, freshwater access, and the opportunities and limitations inherent in the late Pleistocene paleo-landscape covered by rising Holocene seas. Results from nascent research efforts in this area are used to extrapolate future possible research directions PETTUS, Roy AquaArc Archaeological Potential of Islas Coronados -- Potencial Arqueológica de las Islas Coronados • Poster Session 2 (Ben H. Lewis Hall North); Friday, 9:00 - 10:15 AM The Coronado Islands Research Project is proposed as a volunteer binational effort. 12,000 years of prehistory may be represented on the islands. They lie directly on the hypothesized Early West Coast Route from Alaska into the Americas. The probability for occurrence and preservation of both prehistoric and historic cultural resources at the islands is suggested in this presentation. Since 1542, the islands have periodically been visited by outsiders and documented in written records. During the 20th century, they saw commercial, recreational, and military uses. PICKMAN, Steven University of California, Los Angeles see GLEESON, Molly PIGNIOLO, Andrew R. Laguna Mountain Environmental, Inc. Environmental Change, Settlement, and Subsistence at Penasquitos Lagoon • General Session 5 (Victoria South); Friday, 2:15 PM Environmental change in the form of coastal lagoon development and infilling has long been used as an explanatory model for human settlement and subsistence change on the southern California coast. Environmental change at Penasquitos Lagoon is examined through a summary of new and existing data. Settlement intensity and response to environmental change is examined in relation to both coastal decline models and models of settlement organization shifts. POISTER, Nicholas W. Department of Anthropology, California State University, Los Angeles see NETHERTON, Elizabeth POLLACK, Linda California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Whoops, Was That Important? Site Recognition Training for Wildland Fire Responders • Symposium 2 (Victoria South); Thursday, 2:15 PM
98 Society for California Archaeology Annual Meeting 2010 While horror stories of damaged archaeological sites spread like the wildfires themselves, each year there are scores of success stories that aren’t widely publicized. With the responsibility of protecting over 31 million acres of California's private lands, the California Department of Forestry and Fire protection has developed archaeology recognition training for those on the front lines of firefighting: the bulldozer operators, firefighters, crew captains, and inmate crews. The achievement of CAL FIRE's emergency response workforce discovering dozens of archaeological sites and the protection of hundreds of known sites are a direct result of training and open communication. POLSON, Nikki USACE Basque-ing in a Sunny Meadow • General Session 9 (Citrus Heritage); Saturday, 9:45 AM Traces of historic Basque sheepherding in the Western Sierra are visible in the numerous can scatters and arborglyphs. The Landa Sheep Company used multiple camps around Lake Tahoe to run their sheep during the summer. Evidence suggests that Stevan Landa repeatedly conducted summer operations out of a substantial campsite in Blackwood Creek Canyon from 1935 to 1939. The atypical refuse and telling arborglyphs recorded there provide us an opportunity to delve deeper into the domestic life a Basque sheepherder. PRICE, Harry RECON Environmental see ZEPEDA-HERMAN, Carmen RAMIREZ, Nicole A. California State University Chico BAYHAM, Frank E. California State University, Chico A Temporal Evaluation of the Archaeofaunal Patterning at the Karlo Site (CA-LAS- • General Session 2 (De Anza South); Friday, 11:30 AM Zooarcaheological data provide compelling information about regional environmental change. In addition, these data produce patterns regarding human subsistence strategies and the impacts of human activities on the local environment. The Karlo site (CA-LAS-7) is located in northeastern California along the western periphery of the Great Basin. The geographic context of this site makes it unique due to its diverse plant and animal resources. Previous analysis of the faunal data from the site revealed a compelling pattern through the use of a lagomorph index. New obsidian hydration data provides temporal context for and reevaluates the previous study’s results.
