- Title
DIGGING OLOMPALI: THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE RECENT PAST.
- Authors
PARKMAN, E. BRECK
- Abstract
My first assignment as a State Archaeologist was to inventory the cultural resources of Rancho Olompali, a brand, new 760-acre State Park in Marin County. Perhaps my most important discovery was a cultural deposit consisting of artifact-rich fire debris inside the ruins of the Burdell Mansion. It was here that I found a virtual time capsule of hippie material culture, items that once belonged to the Grateful Deadaffiliated, Chosen Family commune, the residents of the mansion when it was destroyed by fire on February 2, 1969. This paper describes the importance of that discovery.
