( By-Laws Amendments Passed by Barb Bocek and Jim Woodward J All proposed amendments to the SCA by-laws have been approved by a vote of the member­ ship. The 31 itemized amendments received 91 % to 100% yes votes. Of 592 ballots sent out by the Business Office January 1. 216 (36.5%) were returned to the Secretary by Janu­ ary 25. One hundred fifty-five members (71.8%) voted yes on all amendments. 61 mem­ bers chose to vote amendment-by-amendment. often with editOrial comment. (Several of the comments were very positive; others were more negative: and a few were inexplicable.) No one voted no on all the amendments. but one member abstained on the first 27 and vot­ ed no on the last four. Only the two items affecting membership nonliability and duties of the treasurer received 100% approval of those voting. SCA Secretary Barb Bocek counted the ballots and verified Signatures with the help of work-study students. The results (and some of the editorial comments) were reviewed and accepted by the Executive Board on January 27. Mike Glassow has volunteered to go through the document to remove bold highlights and strikeout sections. Copies of the strikeout-stricken by-laws will be available at the Annual Meeting.

SCA NEWSLETTER 24 (2) 9 MARCH 1990 Prehistory of the Sacramento River Canyon, Shasta County, California

By Mark E. Basgall and William R. Hildebrandt

CA.R.D. Publication number 9, Fall1989

This monograph presents the findings of data recovery excavations conducted at four prehistoric archaeological sites in the Sacramento River Canyon, Shasta County, California. This work resulted in the recovery of more than 20,000 tools, 226,000. pieces of debitage, and a wide variety of faunal and floral remains. Three major periods of human occupation were documented within the canyon. Notwithstanding the fact that three discrete cultural phases were identified, lifeways in the canyon also display a marked degree of homogeneity. From the vantage of available archaeological data, anadromous fish and acorns were probably used throughout the sequence and subsistence-settlement specialization vis-a-vis these resources never achieved the level found in areas to the south.
