From left to right: James T. Gardiner, Richard D. Cotter, William H. Brewer, and Clarence King. INTRODUCTION This field trip guide includes road logs for the three principal roadways on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada that are adjacent to, or pass through, parts of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (Figs. 1,2, 3). The roads include State Route 180 from Fresno to Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon Park (the Kings Canyon Highway), State Route 198 from Visalia to Sequoia Park ending near Grant Grove (the Generals Highway) and the Mineral King road (county route 375) from State Route 198 near Three Rivers to Mineral King. These roads provide a good overview of this part of the Sierra Nevada which lies in the middle of a 250 km span over which no roads completely cross the range. The Kings Canyon highway penetrates about three-quarters of the distance across the range and the State Route 198~Mineral King road traverses about one-half the distance (Figs.

  • SIGHTS, SITES, and CITATIONS: RECENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS by the YOSEMITE RESEARCH CENTER W
    SIGHTS, SITES, AND CITATIONS: RECENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS BY THE YOSEMITE RESEARCH CENTER w. Joseph Mundy Yosemite Research Center P.O. Box 700 El Portal, CA 95318 ABSTRACT In addition to being scenic focal points, Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks are also areas in which the Park Service balances its construction programs with its preservation values. Over a period of several years, millions of dollars are being funneled into construction efforts in the parks. Since 1984, such construction has mandated 12 major archaeological surveys, 11 excavation projects, and three large scale construction monitoring efforts, as well as numerous data updates and smaller cul­ tural resources management compliance surveys. with site avoidance the most implemented option, the archaeological work still includes the full gamut of treatments -- from initial discovery and recording, to testing, mitigative excavation, and construction impact monitoring. As an introduction to other papers from Yosemite, the major observations and findings of recent archaeological work are reviewed with an emphasis on informational highlights. Plans for future synthetic studies and other projects planned by the Yosemite Research Center are also discussed. INTRODUCTIONI There are several papers from the Yosemite Research Center in this volume. This paper will be somewhat intro­ ductory to the others, and will discuss some of the projects undertaken by the Research Center in recent years. The Center is located in El Portal, in the Merced River canyon, at the western edge of Yosemite National Park. The archaeology staff shares the Yosemite Research Center with the Park's natural science staff, who are currently involved in the development of a computerized geographic information system for Yosemite, a fire dynamics study, and radio tracking of the recently reintroduced Bighorn sheep herd.
