Stewart S and Praetzellis A (ed). 2003. Archeological Research Issues for the Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Anthropological Studies Center, Sonoma State University. Rohnert Park, California

As a part of the Archaeological Overview and Assessment for the Point Reyes National Seashore and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, under a cooperative agreement between Sonoma State University and the National Park Service, the Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) has produced several overviews of research issuesor general archaeological research designsto aid in management of archaeological resources in the PRNSA GGNRA parklands. The geographic scope of the study area is relatively vast, extending over 108 miles of coastlinefrom northern Marin County in the north into northern San Mateo County in the south (Figure 1). These overviews are necessarily general, as they are intended for use with all known and anticipated archaeological resources in the PRNS and GGNRA, an area of approximately 182,496 acres, of which only 6,000 acres have been intensively surveyed. The presentation of research issues in these overviews will assist managers and archaeologists in developing specific research designs for individual properties or specific land units as the need arises. While these overviews are presented here as a single, edited volume, each is designed to be printed out separately as a standalone document if desired. Each overview is listed below, along with a general statement of the topic and the name and credentials of the author.
