Archaeological Research Facility

The chief aim of the California Archaeological Survey is to study and make known to the general and scientific public the prehistory of the State of California. Research is envisaged as the Survey's chief activity, with the State as its field of operation. No area or areas are to be Selected for intensive investigation and no region of the State is to be ignored. Where local institutions have archaeological programs in operation the Survey will stand by to lend a hand if invited and will attempt to carry out its investigations in near-by areas with the full knowledge and cooperation of those local groups primarily concerned with special or local problems.
