WHAT IS PRESIDIO ARCHAEOLOGY CAMP?
Discover Santa Barbara this summer by excavating the Spanish fort founded in 1782. Learn how archaeologists study and interpret clues to reconstruct the history of Santa Barbara. Participants will receive instruction from archaeologists on basic excavation techniques, artifact processing methods, artifact identification, archaeological drawing, and mapping.
