Under the guidance of Dr. Jeanne Arnold, Julienne Bernard will analyze archaeological materials collected through excavation at the village of Tashlipun and its neighboring sites. Tashlipun is an Inland Chumash village located in the San Emigdio Canyon, a main passage into the southern end of California's Central Valley in the Historic era. During and after the California Spanish mission period, this area became a region of refuge for coastal Native Californians who wished to escape the missions, avoid the colonial presence, return to traditional ways of life, and regain political autonomy. Because this area was difficult and often dangerous to travel in, Spanish sources left very few historical accounts of native people living in this region. As a result, archaeological data are the only means of understanding what the daily lives of these people were like and gaining insight into how their culture changed as a result of their interactions with the Spanish and their lives in the missions. This research not only will expand on historical knowledge of the region but also will contribute to anthropological approaches to the study of how and why cultures change, particularly in the context of colonialism. Studying this case of mission deserters can help us understand the role that resistance movements and resistive mindsets can play in stimulating, guiding, or even preventing changes in everyday lifeways. The archaeological materials from three sites in the San Emigdio Canyon provide the opportunity to study a wide range of cultural changes from prehistory to the post-mission period. Analysis of abundant food remains will demonstrate changes in subsistence strategies in light of the environmental and cultural impacts of new and introduced domesticated plants and animals. Inquiry into the type and origin of trade items (both European and native) will reflect changing material culture preferences and regional-level relationships, and in some cases, they may be used to gauge whether objects were chosen because they were practical or because they were symbolically meaningful. In addition to its historical and anthropological contributions, this project will have a number of impacts that reach beyond the academic community. The results of this research will be included in an interpretive station near the site which will be visited by thousands of elementary school students from the region every year as well as members of the general public. There will also be presentations of the research findings at public forums in southern California. The field and laboratory components have provided archaeological training for Ms. Bernard as well as over 30 students from various institutions and members of the Tejon Band of Indians, with whom the project consults. Final interpretations will be formally presented in Bernard's dissertation, as well as in peer-reviewed journal articles and presentations at state and national conferences.

在Jeanne Arnold博士的指导下，Julienne Bernard将分析通过在Tashlipun村及其邻近遗址挖掘收集的考古材料。 Tashlipun是一个内陆Chumash村庄位于圣艾米迪奥峡谷，一个主要通道进入南端的加州的中央谷在历史上的时代。在加州西班牙使命期间和之后，这个地区成为沿海土著加州人的避难所，他们希望逃离使命，避免殖民地的存在，回归传统的生活方式，并重新获得政治自治。由于这一地区很难旅行，而且往往很危险，西班牙的资料中很少有关于居住在这一地区的土著人的历史记载。因此，考古数据是了解这些人日常生活的唯一手段，并深入了解他们的文化如何因与西班牙人的互动和他们在传教士中的生活而发生变化。这项研究不仅将扩大该地区的历史知识，而且还将有助于人类学方法来研究文化如何以及为什么变化，特别是在殖民主义的背景下。研究这个使命逃兵的案例可以帮助我们理解抵抗运动和抵抗心态在刺激、引导甚至阻止日常生活方式改变方面所起的作用。从三个地点在圣艾米迪奥峡谷的考古材料提供了一个机会，研究从史前到任务后时期的文化变化范围广泛。对丰富的食物遗骸的分析将表明，鉴于新的和引进的驯化动植物对环境和文化的影响，生存战略发生了变化。对贸易物品的类型和来源（欧洲和本土）的调查将反映不断变化的物质文化偏好和区域一级的关系，在某些情况下，它们可能被用来衡量选择物品是因为它们是实用的还是因为它们具有象征意义。 除了其历史和人类学的贡献，这个项目将有一些影响，达到超越学术界。这项研究的结果将被列入现场附近的一个解说站，每年将有该地区数千名小学生和公众参观。研究结果亦会在南加州的公众论坛上发表。实地和实验室部分为Bernard女士以及来自各机构的30多名学生和该项目咨询的Tejon印第安人部落成员提供了考古培训。 最终的解释将在伯纳德的论文中正式提出，以及在同行评议的期刊文章和州和国家会议上的演讲。
