This presentation will examine an ongoing research project funded by the National Science Foundation that examines landscape management practices employed by Native Californians along the central coast over the last few thousand years, with a particular focus on prescribed burning. Panelists will discuss their findings from the Quiroste Valley in the Año Nuevo State Reserve. Archaeological materials, pollen, charcoal, phytoliths, ethnobotanical remains, and fire-scar records from redwoods are examined in conjunction with other kinds of historical landscape data (photographs, maps, sequential aerial imagery), ethnohistorical sources, and Native narratives (both oral histories and oral traditions). This talk references the recent UC Press book entitled /California Indians and Their Environment: An Introduction by Kent Lightfoot and Otis Parrish, which will be available for purchase in the Museum Store.
