we will be presenting at the
Museo de Historia de Ensenada
The SCA’s newly formed INAH Collaboration Committee has been
working to organize the annual Southern Data Sharing meeting,
entitled
‘Las Californias’,
Our collaboration on Las Californias represents
a genuine effort in diplomacy between INAH
and the SCA and the next step in a stronger
and more closely linked partnership.
We’re gathering to share information on new discoveries,
methods, and techniques in the field, to promote
heritage conservation in California and Baja California,
to foster professional
development in our field, and more.
There will be an organized symposium
and a poster session held at the Muesó Historico
Regional de Ensenada on Saturday morning.
This meeting will be in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere
—perfect for students and young
professionals to practice
presenting as well as an opportunity to meet and talk with professional
archaeologists from INAH and the SCA in a fun and casual setting.
This marks the 3rd time we have worked in conjunction with INAH
