The California Archaeological Survey

The University of California instituted on August 1, 1948, a statewide archaeological survey. Supporting funds are from the State Legislature and are part of the regular University budget. The financing is adequate, and assurance of the Survey being a permanent institution has been given. Work will be done by the Archaeologist, F. Fenenga, and Assistant Archaeologist, F. Riddell, and will entail site survey and mapping, excavation, and publication. Headquarters are in the University of California Museum of Anthropology, and the Survey activities will be integrated with those of the Museum. Close cooperation is envisaged with other institutions which include the University of California at Los Angeles, Santa Barbara College of the University of California, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, the Los Angeles County Museum, the Southwest Museum, the San Diego Museum of Man, Sacramento College, and the Archaeological Survey Association of Southern California.
