Prehistoric Archaeology in the eastern Lake County region
Prehistoric Archaeology in the eastern Lake County region.
by Michael Newland, Sonoma State University - Anthropological Studies Center
The Native Americans that lived in the eastern part of Lake County inhabited a challenging environment, one in which most streams dry up in the hot summer months and oaks, a primary food source, were patchily distributed across the landscape. What do we know about how the native inhabitants of this region used the landscape? Where did they live? Where did they hunt? What foods were important to them? We invite you to attend a lecture and mini field trip at the McLaughlin Reserve, presented by archaeologist Mike Newland from Sonoma State University's Anthropological Studies Center. Mr. Newland has conducted academic archaeological research in the east Lake County area with the help of graduate students, volunteers, and middle- and high-school students. For this lecture, he will discuss the history of habitation of the region, theories of land use, and results of his research in the region, and will take us into the field (weather permitting) to look at archaeological materials and demonstrate archaeological surveying techniques.
Saturday February 25, 2006 at the UC Davis' McLaughlin Reserve, Lower Lake, California 1:30 - 3:00 pm: Lecture and discussion.
3:00 - 4:30 pm: Mini field trip on-site (weather permitting). Wear sturdy footwear, bring a sun-hat, water bottle, munchies.
Space is limited. Please make your reservation by February 23. Reservations are accepted on a first-come first-serve basis.
