We invite you to participate in the Pimu Catalina Island Archaeology Field School, a new
and innovative course that uses cutting edge scientific tools in a collaborative
research project with Tongva/Gabrielino tribal members, the Santa Catalina Island
Conservancy and the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA.
Beginning June 22, 2008 and ending July 25, 2008, the field school provides students
with practical working knowledge of survey, excavation, lab and cataloging methods while
immersing them in the 9,000 years of cultural history of the Tongva/Gabrielino nation.
Students will also learn about how to apply cultural resource laws to public sector
archaeological work.
Situated just off the coast of Los Angeles, Catalina Island was historically an
important trading supply outpost for Southern California and beyond. The field school is
part of the on-going Pimu Catalina Island Archaeological Project (PCIAP), which is
working to assess and protect archaeological sites on Catalina.
Please see the website for more information:
