Discover the life and culture of the ancient peoples who were defined by the arid landscape of what is now Joshua Tree National Park. Anthropologists Joan S. Schneider, Ph.D. and Claude N. Warren, Ph.D., both of whom have extensive experience leading archaeology field studies in Southern California, will discuss the how archaeologists study human culture, history, and evolution through material remains and environmental landscapes. The class will first visit the artifacts and archival collections at Joshua Tree National Park research museum, then venture into the park to study the environmental landscape and how it relates to the prehistoric and historic peoples who lived in this area. The field sessions will require hiking in the desert and will provide students with new insights into the park's cultural heritage.
