Dear Colleagues and Friends,

There are still a few spaces available in the Pimu Catalina Island
Archaeology Field School, a collaborative research project with
Tongva/Gabrielino tribal members, the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy and
the California State University, Northridge. The field school runs from July
13, 2011 to August 17, 2011 and is Register of Professional Archaeologists
(RPA) certified.

In our fourth year, 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 maritime 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.
