There are still a few spots available at the Pimu Catalina Island Archaeology Field School, an innovative research project in collaboration with Tongva/Gabrielino tribal members, the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy, UCLA Tribal Learning Community and Educational Exchange Program, and the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA. Beginning July 15, 2009 and ending August 19, 2009, the field school provides students with practical working knowledge of survey, site recordation, excavation, lab and cataloging methods while immersing them in both historic and prehistoric cultural landscapes. Local experts, Tongva tribal members, and California archaeologists will give lectures. Students will also learn how to apply cultural resource laws to public sector archaeological work within a Register of Professional Archaeologists certified field school. Although the DEADLINE is APRIL 3, 2009, we will be accepting applications until all spots are filled.* * Santa Catalina Island is an important hub for the intermingling of people and the exchange of ideas and objects for at least 9,000 years. Surrounded by rich marine and lithic resources, the Santa Catalina (Pimu) Island peoples were contributors to an extensive trade network throughout southern and central California and the Southwest. The field school is part of the on-going Pimu Catalina Island Archaeological Project (PCIAP), which is working to assess and protect archaeological sites.
