Transforming Orphan Archaeological Collections to Student Theses

Author(s): Glenn Farris

Year: 2019

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Like many state agencies, California State Parks have been the source of a number of archaeological excavations which generated collections of notes and artifacts. A significant number of these collections were either not fully studied and written up or have material that deserves another look and the preparation of a more formal report. In coordination with various university professors, students have been introduced to various collections to use as source material for senior theses, Master’s theses and doctoral dissertations to the mutual benefit of orphan collections and the students.
