  • Historical Ecology of Indigenous Shoreline Stewardship Along the Central Coast of California
    Of Molluscs and Middens: Historical Ecology of Indigenous Shoreline Stewardship along the Central Coast of California By Michael Andrew Grone A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kent Lightfoot, Chair Professor Junko Habu Professor Anthony D. Barnosky Summer 2020 Abstract Of Molluscs and Middens: Historical Ecology of Indigenous Shoreline Stewardship along the Central Coast of California By Michael Andrew Grone Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Kent Lightfoot, Chair This dissertation presents three cases studies on the archaeology and Historical Ecology of Indigenous shoreline management practices on the Central Coast of California. These studies focus on various invertebrates and marine plants and algae that were harvested and stewarded by coastal Native peoples as foodstuffs and raw materials. The work was undertaken as part of a broader collaborative eco-archaeological research program and partnership between the University of California Campuses at Berkeley and Santa Cruz, The National Park Service (NPS), California State Parks, the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band (AMLT) and The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (FIGR or Coast Miwok) that has been carried out over the past decade. The research integrates approaches in collaborative archaeology and the application of eco-archaeological for revitalizing Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Traditional Resource Management (TREM) practices of coastal resources in California. In some cases, this knowledge has been repressed as a result of Spanish missionization and successive waves of colonialism during the Mexican and American periods.
