A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This archeological assessment is designed to facilitate archeological research and resource management in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks region of California. It is a synthesis and evaluation of the current state of knowledge concerning the prehistory and early history of these parks. The natural environment is discussed with emphasis upon the economic utility of the defined environmental zones. Next, a brief account of the history of Anglo settlement in the region is followed by a condensed discussion of the ethnographically recorded inhabitants of the Southern Sierra Nevada, focussing upon their settlement system, resource procurement activities, and the interaction among the various groups that lived in the area during early Anglo contact. These groups include the Sierra Miwok, the Yokuts, the Monache, the Owens Valley Paiute and the Tuba tulabal. The section on prehistory attempts to integrate and evaluate the work of various scholars and presents regional summaries of the culture history of the Southern Sierra Nevada including areas outside of the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Finally, recommendations concerning the future direction of archeological research in the parks are offered.
