The Historical Development of Santa Barbara
THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF SANTABARBARA CHANNEL ARCHAEOLOGY Jon M. Erlandson Department of Anthropology University of Oregon Eugene, OR 97403 and Department of Anthropology Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History 2559 Puesta Del Sol Santa Barbara, CA 93105 ABSTRACT In this paper, I examine historical trends in the development of Santa Barbara Channel archaeology, with an emphasis on the last 30 years. Since 1960, 4 developments have been particularly significant in shaping the way archaeology is done in the Santa Barbara Channel today: (1) the dramatic increase in the amount of archaeology being done; (2) the fundamental shift in archaeology from an essentially academic discipline to one dominated by commercial enterprise; (3) the development of new techniques for analyzing archaeological remains, techniques that have expanded the range of questions we can address; and (4) the increasingly active role that Native Americans have played in archaeology. These trends reflect broader patterns in California and American archaeology, but they have followed a somewhat unique trajectory in the Santa Barbara area. Regarding where Santa Barbara Channel archaeology may be headed in the 1990s and beyond, I suggest that paradigms now being developed may lead to a "new synthesis· that will incorporate the best approaches of 20th century archaeologists into a revitalized record of California's cultural past.

Salvaging a Record for Humankind: Urgent Anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution, 1964-1984
SALVAGING A RECORD FOR HUMANKIND: URGENT ANTHROPOLOGY AT THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1964-1984 by Adrianna Halina Link A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June 2016 © 2016 Adrianna Halina Link All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the development of an international research program called “urgent anthropology” organized by scientists and staff at the Smithsonian Institution from the mid-1960s until the 1980s. It shows how through the program’s expansion during this period, ideas of urgency came to hold different meanings for different groups of people and provided a useful framework for research cutting across the natural and social sciences. By situating urgent anthropology as a product of Cold War anxieties, this dissertation also considers larger questions about the potential and limitations of museums as sites for interdisciplinary research, the application of new investigative technologies (such as ethnographic film), and the shifting responsibilities and challenges facing museums and archives for preserving records of human diversity. Following in the tradition of turn-of-the-century salvage anthropology, urgent anthropology began as a project devoted to the documentation of linguistic, behavioral, and physical data from cultures perceived to be disappearing after World War II. Under the leadership of its principal organizers, Smithsonian Secretary S. Dillon Ripley and his advisor on anthropology, University of Chicago anthropologist Sol Tax, this initiative grew into a multidisciplinary project that championed the integration of perspectives from the human sciences, especially anthropology, with contemporary views on environmental conservation and ecology. This collaboration could best be achieved within the Smithsonian’s museums, where researchers could more easily cross disciplinary boundaries and could apply the outcomes of their work to construct exhibits displaying a variety of social and scientific topics.
