Respecting the Past, Planning for the Future: Assessing Cultural Resources and Watershed Connectivity Associated with a Proposed China Camp State Park Road Modification Project

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will collaborate with ESA Inc. and CA State Parks to conduct an archaeological and tribal cultural resources inventory at China Camp State Park, in Marin County, and to develop a model for understanding climate effects to significant resources. Climate modeling includes identifying areas likely to be disturbed or destroyed by rising sea levels, tidal action, and erosion due to changes in vegetation patterns, infrastructural projects, and public access. The objectives are to identify and protect traditional and sacred tribal areas of the Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo people.
