Ron:

When I did my survey of Historical Archaeology programs for my MA in 1997 at 
NAU, there were several Historical Archaeology programs listed in 
California.  Sadly, I believe the only active programs now are at UCB and 
CSU-Humboldt.  It appears, that like Arizona, California anthropology 
departments got rid of the Historical Archaeology programs when the funds 
got short and the administrators and prehistoric archaeologists believed 
that their projects would be threatened and "Who needs to look at this 
recent junk anyway?"  That approach turns out to be so short-sited (pun 
intended) with our governmental mandate of looking at the data from a 
moving window of 50 years from the present-you have to deal with this "junk" 
anyway.  The success and growth of SHA proves this out. In Arizona, I 
believe I was the last Historical Archaeology MA. There may be some work 
being done on historical sites out of University of Arizona's Archaeological 
Science Program under Dave Killick, an ex-pat from the UK like Noel Hume.
