Archaeology
Project is a collaborative research and Cultural Resource Managment project conducted by the Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology (SOULA) and the Medford District of the U.S.D.A. Bureau of Land Managment (BLM). The goals of the project are to understand the archaeological record of the foothills of the Cascade Range of southwest Oregon, appreciate the role this landscape played in the economy and culture of the prehistoric peoples of the region, and generate information useful for the BLM in managing cultural sites in their jurisdiction. In particular, looting (or pot hunting) is severe in this region, and part of our efforts are to raise public awareness of this issue. |
