> >> 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 prehistoric martime 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.
