California, US: Wind Wolves Reserve - Connecting Rock-Art and Environment

Located in the heart of interior South-Central California, the Wind Wolves Reserve lies at the interface between several rich habitats and contains some of the most spectacular examples of Native American paintings found anywhere in North America. This project allows students to directly investigate a series of sites that link rock-art to society within particular environmental surroundings. Furthermore, students will have the opportunity to utilize cutting edge laser equipment in scanning and mapping. This project truly is redefining not only the archaeology of an under-explored interior Californian landscape, but is advancing the global study of rock-art by linking it to the environment in an unprecedented excavation and cutting edge digital documentation approach.

This program involves an application process. Student applications will be evaluated on a first-come, first-served basis. Archaeological work involves physical work in the outdoors. You should be aware that conditions in the field are different than those you experience in your home or college town. This program operates during the summer, and students will be exposed to the elements while in the field. Good boots, working cloths, and sunglasses with UV protection are required and mandatory.
