An Archaeological Survey of Lassen Volcanic National Park, California

This study reports on a survey of the areas in Lassen Volcanic National Park most likely to reveal aboriginal human activity, with some work in the areas less likely to have sites. Despite the limitations, the survey includes virtually every major drainage, meadow, spring, lake, pond, and rock shelter. It represents a large sample of the total park area which would be suitable for human use. In total, forty-seven archaeological sites were located and described. Therefore, this report represents a substantial piece of work in the area of prehistoric human utilization of Lassen Volcanic National Park.

本研究针对拉森火山国家公园（Lassen Volcanic National Park）中最有可能发现原住民人类活动遗迹的区域开展了系统性考古调查，并对少量遗迹留存概率较低的区域进行了补充勘探。尽管存在一定局限性，本次调查几乎覆盖了园区内所有主要水系流域、草甸、泉眼、湖泊、池塘与岩棚，样本覆盖了园区绝大多数适宜人类活动的区域，样本规模可观。本次调查总计发现并记录了47处考古遗址。综上，本报告为拉森火山国家公园史前人类活动利用领域的一项重要研究成果。
