- Abstract
Archaeological surveys were conducted in the higher elevations of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks from 1997 to 2004. A total of 88 sites were recorded or revisited. Seasonal occupation of alpine and subalpine zones is documented. Site types and artifacts are outlined, with a prevalence of Late Prehistoric projectile points being noted. Sixty-eight obsidian specimens were submitted for sourcing and hydration analysis. Ten obsidian specimens were submitted for protein residue analysis. The results of these analyses are presented and summarized.
