History is a Dirty Business
In UC Berkeley's summer session course Anthropology 133, students learned not only how to dig square holes and sift through archival materials, but also that archaeology and history are public endeavours. Local press this last week noted our efforts at two sites on Cal campus - a nice piece in today's San Francisco Chronicle followed less detailed offerings in the Oakland Tribune and Berkeley Daily Planet on Thursday and Friday. As a graduate student instructor for the course, I helped supervise excavations at the C.U. Conservatory site, where the remains of a shining Victorian glass-house now lie under a parking lot.
Before: the UC Conservatory ca. 1900

After: a field school student excavates remains of the west-wing foundation.
