Archaeology Field School Description
The goal of this field school is to give Native American community members and tribal cultural resource personnel a foundation in archaeological methods, theories and laws. It is hoped each participant will take this knowledge back to their community in order to efficiently and effectively respond to and engage in archaeological research as it relates to their community. Students will be provided with a practical working knowledge of survey, excavation, and lab techniques enabling students to better understand how archaeology is practiced. Students will learn about the laws and processes that apply to cultural resources in the public sector, such as the California Environmental Quality Act, and the role of Native American Nations and communities within these processes. Experienced and respected guest lecturers will provide experiences and case studies from which to learn. The course will take place on Catalina Island, just off the coast of Los Angeles. This field school is a collaborative project between the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA, the Catalina Island Conservancy, UCLA Tribal Learning Community & Educational Exchange Program, and members of the Gabrielino (Tongva) Nation. The field school is part of the ongoing Pimu Catalina Island Archaeological Project (PCIAP), which is working to assess and protect cultural sites on Catalina Island. Students are expected to ARRIVE June 20st by noon in Avalon and we begin with an evening lecture that night. The course will meet every weekday through June 25 and DEPART the island on June 26th. Students will stay at the Laura Stein Volunteer Camp in platform tents with an outdoor kitchen facility and showers on Catalina Island. Student grading will be based on participation in fieldwork, survey, lab work, lectures, and other camp activities. Students should be prepared for a rigorous to moderate amount of exercise each day. Class Lectures: Students will participate in various sessions that provide an overview of archaeological theories, methods and techniques. Excavations: Students will participate in guided excavations at selected historic sites. Survey: Students will conduct surveys using a GPS over selected areas of Catalina Island. Recordation: Students will participate in filling out field records, map finds, site survey forms, and will keep a field journal. Laboratory: Scheduled lab tasks will include washing, sorting, flotation and curation of finds.
