Santa Cruz Island Reserve

03 Jul, 03 PM - 30 Jul, 05 PM

My ongoing research focuses on connecting small-scale occupations with local resource exploitation and craft production on the south side of Santa Cruz Island during the middle and late Middle Period (approximately AD 600-1000); my work this summer will focus on SCRI-849 in Laguna Canyon and SCRI-475 in Posa Creek, to provide comparative data for my previous work conducted in the summer of 2013 and fall of 2014. That fieldwork yielded evidence for lithic manufacture reliant on low-quality, locally abundant igneous toolstone as well as a range of standard domestic activities typical of small sites in region. The tools recovered, however, were relatively few in number and the excavations at SCRI-845 limited. This will provide critical data concerning the density of tool production and maintenance in Laguna Canyon, allowing me to evaluate the distribution of artifacts at multiple sites from the same time period. The overall project will run most of July, in two sessions (one from July 3rd through July 17th, and a second from July 20th through July 31st).
