MEETINGS 2018 SCA ANNUAL MEETING EVENTS PLENARY SESSION: PRESERVING CALIFORNIA’S CHERISHED HERITAGE: OUR SHARED RESPONSIBILITY The Plenary session will be two parts. One will be a celebration of the diversity found historically within California. Presentations on lesser represented cultural groups will be highlighted as examples of the multi-cultural components of the history of California and the dream of success that compelled and continues to compel many different people from around the globe to come to the Golden State in search of the California Dream. The second part of the Plenary will focus on new ideas in archaeology, primarily a new program promoted by Micah Hale that proposes to make use of Cultural Resources mitigation banking and funding. Customized cultural resources mitigation banking is emerging as a solution to resolve conflicts regarding resource treatment. Mitigation banking can provide acceptable solutions to problems ranging from project implementation infractions, to disagreements between agencies, Tribes, and archaeologists about the disposition of archaeological collections. The San Diego Archaeological Center (SDAC) developed a customizable mitigation bank that is fund-driven and agency controlled. It serves as a good starting point for discourse on the complex problems facing cultural resource management today RECEPTION/SILENT AUCTION FUNDRAISER (Preregistration Required) The night of Friday, March 9th, is the ever-popular Silent Auction event. We’re staying onsite once again in 2018

    APPENDIX D Archival Study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project An Archival Study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, California Eileen Barrow, M.A. June 6, 2016 An Archival Study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, California Prepared by: _________________________________ Eileen Barrow, M.A. Tom Origer & Associates Post Office Box 1531 Rohnert Park, California 94927 (707) 584-8200 Prepared for: Sonoma County Water Agency 404 Aviation Santa Rosa, California 95407 June 6, 2016 ABSTRACT Tom Origer & Associates conducted an archival study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project, as requested by the Sonoma County Water Agency. This study was designed to meet requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. Per the findings of the National Marine Fisheries Service (2008), the Sonoma County Water Agency is seeking to improve Coho salmon and steelhead habitat in the Russian River and Dry Creek by modifying the minimum instream flow requirements specified by the State Water Resources Control Board's 1986 Decision 1610. The current study includes a ⅛ mile buffer around Lake Mendocino, Lake Sonoma, the Russian River from Coyote Valley Dam to the Pacific Ocean, and Dry Creek from Warm Springs Dam to the Russian River. The study included archival research at the Northwest Information Center, Sonoma State University (NWIC File No. 15-1481); archival research at the Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley; examination of the library and files of Tom Origer & Associates; and contact with the Native American community. Documentation pertaining to this study is on file at the offices of Tom Origer & Associates (File No.

  • The Bearhead Rhyolite, Jemez Volcanic Field, NM
    Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 107 32001) 241±264 www.elsevier.com/locate/jvolgeores Effusive eruptions from a large silicic magma chamber: the Bearhead Rhyolite, Jemez volcanic ®eld, NM Leigh Justet*, Terry L. Spell Department of Geosciences, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV, 89154-4010, USA Received 23 February 2000; accepted 6 November 2000 Abstract Large continental silicic magma systems commonly produce voluminous ignimbrites and associated caldera collapse events. Less conspicuous and relatively poorly documented are cases in which silicic magma chambers of similar size to those associated with caldera-forming events produce dominantly effusive eruptions of small-volume rhyolite domes and ¯ows. The Bearhead Rhyolite and associated Peralta Tuff Member in the Jemez volcanic ®eld, New Mexico, represent small-volume eruptions from a large silicic magma system in which no caldera-forming event occurred, and thus may have implications for the genesis and eruption of large volumes of silicic magma and the long-term evolution of continental silicic magma systems. 40Ar/39Ar dating reveals that most units mapped as Bearhead Rhyolite and Peralta Tuff 3the Main Group) were erupted during an ,540 ka interval between 7.06 and 6.52 Ma. These rocks de®ne a chemically coherent group of high-silica rhyolites that can be related by simple fractional crystallization models. Preceding the Main Group, minor amounts of unrelated trachydacite and low silica rhyolite were erupted at ,11±9 and ,8 Ma, respectively, whereas subsequent to the Main Group minor amounts of unrelated rhyolites were erupted at ,6.1 and ,1.5 Ma. The chemical coherency, apparent fractional crystallization-derived geochemical trends, large areal distribution of rhyolite domes 3,200 km2), and presence of a major hydrothermal system support the hypothesis that Main Group magmas were derived from a single, large, shallow magma chamber.

This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………... 1 PART I - CAUSATION…………………………………………………… 12 HISTORIOGRAPHY……………………………………………........ 12 BEFORE CONQUEST………………………………………..…….. 21 WAR……………………………………………………………..……. 36 GOLD RUSH……………………………………………………..….. 42 LACK OF LAW…………………………………………………….…. 45 RACIAL DISTRUST………………………………………………..... 50 OUTSIDE INFLUENCE………………………………………………58 LOCAL CRIME………………………………………………………..67 CONCLUSION……………………………………………………….

Stirewalt Stephen R. Young Kenneth D. Mahrer Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses San Antonio, Texas September 1992 ABSTRACT The long-range goal of the Volcanism Research Project is to assess likelihood of volcanic and magmatic activity in the Yucca Mountain area and the potential for disruption of a repository at Yucca Mountain by that activity. To this end, this report discusses extent of available volcanic and tectonic data for the Basin and Range Physiographic Province, assesses usefulness of these data for constraining conceptual models of tectonism and associated volcanism in the Basin and Range, and addresses use of nonlinear dynamics for analyzing patterns of volcanism. Based on data from review of existing literature, the following conclusions and recommendations are drawn to provide guidance for future work in the remaining tasks of this project: (i) middle to late Cenozoic (i.e., less than 55 million years ago) volcanism in the Basin and Range Province can be broadly correlated

  • Ethnohistory and Ethnogeography of the Coast Miwok and Their Neighbors, 1783-1840
    ETHNOHISTORY AND ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE COAST MIWOK AND THEIR NEIGHBORS, 1783-1840 by Randall Milliken Technical Paper presented to: National Park Service, Golden Gate NRA Cultural Resources and Museum Management Division Building 101, Fort Mason San Francisco, California Prepared by: Archaeological/Historical Consultants 609 Aileen Street Oakland, California 94609 June 2009 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report documents the locations of Spanish-contact period Coast Miwok regional and local communities in lands of present Marin and Sonoma counties, California. Furthermore, it documents previously unavailable information about those Coast Miwok communities as they struggled to survive and reform themselves within the context of the Franciscan missions between 1783 and 1840. Supplementary information is provided about neighboring Southern Pomo-speaking communities to the north during the same time period. The staff of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) commissioned this study of the early native people of the Marin Peninsula upon recommendation from the report’s author. He had found that he was amassing a large amount of new information about the early Coast Miwoks at Mission Dolores in San Francisco while he was conducting a GGNRA-funded study of the Ramaytush Ohlone-speaking peoples of the San Francisco Peninsula. The original scope of work for this study called for the analysis and synthesis of sources identifying the Coast Miwok tribal communities that inhabited GGNRA parklands in Marin County prior to Spanish colonization. In addition, it asked for the documentation of cultural ties between those earlier native people and the members of the present-day community of Coast Miwok. The geographic area studied here reaches far to the north of GGNRA lands on the Marin Peninsula to encompass all lands inhabited by Coast Miwoks, as well as lands inhabited by Pomos who intermarried with them at Mission San Rafael.

  • 4.8 Cultural Resources
    4.0 Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures 4.8 Cultural Resources 4.8.1 Introduction This section reviews the existing conditions related to cultural resources in the Russian River Estuary (Estuary Management Project or proposed project) area and presents the potential impacts on cultural and paleontological resources. As previously noted in Chapter 2.0, Project Description, the Estuary Study Area comprises the Russian River Estuary (Estuary), which extends approximately seven miles from the mouth of the Russian River upstream to Duncans Mills just beyond the confluence of Austin Creek. Under certain closed conditions, the Estuary may backwater to Monte Rio, and as far upstream as Vacation Beach. Where appropriate, discussion of cultural resource impacts within the Estuary Study Area and the larger maximum backwater area, which extends upstream past Austin Creek approximately to Vacation Beach, is provided (Please refer to Figure 2-3 in Chapter 2.0, Project Description). Cultural resources include prehistoric and ethnographic Native American archaeological sites, historic-period archaeological sites, historic-period buildings and structures, and elements or areas of the natural landscape that have traditional cultural significance. A paleontological resource is defined as fossilized remains of vertebrate and invertebrate organisms, fossil tracks, and plant fossils. The section also describes the federal, state, and local regulations related to cultural and paleontological resources that would apply to the proposed project. 4.8.2 Setting Prehistoric Context Categorizing the prehistoric period into broad cultural stages allows researchers to describe a broad range of archaeological resources with similar cultural patterns and components during a given timeframe, thereby creating a regional chronology.
