Anthropological Studies Center will assist Placer County Resource Conservation District and CALFIRE with implementation of the Placer County Cooperative Fuel Break Project by conducting archaeological inventory of the project area located near Auburn, California. Pedestrian field survey combined with archival literature review will be carried out to identify sensitive cultural resources so that they may be protected during the project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will evaluate the National Register eligibility of identified historic-component cultural resources as potential contributors to the Malakoff Diggins North Bloomfield historic district.  This project is a continuation of the ongoing survey conducted by ASC since 2015 and will continue through September 30, 2020 under the agreement with the Department of Parks and Recreation.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will complete a cultural resources study to support Abandoned Mineral Lands closure and stabilization projects at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. This study will support the National Park Service's ongoing efforts to address health and safety concerns at abandoned mines and to comply with requirements under the National Historic Preservation Act, state historic and cultural preservation laws, and other applicable federal laws.
