Identification and Evaluation of WWII and Mexican Period Resources at Point Reyes National Seashore

The National Park Service intends to award a cooperative agreement to Sonoma State University for the identification and evaluation of WWII and Mexican Period resources at Point Reyes National Seashore. The project aims to assemble and synthesize existing information, prepare a research design, conduct an archaeological investigation, and document identified cultural resources. The project will also provide educational and professional development opportunities for students. Key aspects of the project include: • Assembling and synthesizing existing information related to the history and use of Point Reyes National Seashore lands during the Mexican Period and WWII • Preparing a research design for the identification and evaluation of Mexican Period and WWII related resources • Conducting an archaeological investigation consistent with the goals and methods of the research design • Fully documenting identified cultural resources, including UTM coordinates on standard State of California Site Record Forms and National Park Service Site Condition Assessment Forms • Producing a draft and final technical report that synthesizes the history of Point Reyes National Seashore lands during the Mexican Period and WWII, documents the identified cultural resources associated with these historical periods, and identifies any significant associations, characteristics, or research potential that these resources may contain
