DESCRIPTION:Join SCAS on October 13, 2016, for “Disability and Care in California 
 Prehistory: Interpreting Social Roles of Individuals with Disabilities from 
 Santa Clara Valley (CA-SCL-38),” a talk by Karen Gardner. The talk will 
 be held at 7:30 pm at the Santa Cruz Live Oak Grange Hall at 1900 17th Ave, 
 Santa Cruz, CA 95062.\n\nWhat was life really like in the Santa Clara 
 Valley between 1000AD and the Mission era? In this talk, Karen Gardner will 
 use evidence from the Yukisma Mound, a mortuary site in Santa Clara Valley 
 (CA-SCL-38, ~1000AD-1720AD). Of the 248 individuals recovered during 
 excavation, 25 had skeletal indications of a condition which would have 
 prevented them from participating in subsistence activities in the same way 
 as others: either developmental anomalies, traumatic injuries affecting 
 mobility, or prolonged illnesses.   This presentation will combine evidence 
 from skeletal analysis with information about burial-associated artifacts 
 and individual dietary patterns to understand the implications of 
 disability in this community. How was the social identity of these 
 individuals affected by their conditions? Were they eating the same foods 
 as other people? Were they more likely to be wealthy or poor? Were they 
 more likely to hold ritual roles? And what does their condition tell us 
 about the community? Come to this talk and find out.\n\nKaren Smith Gardner 
 received her BA in Anthropology from UC Santa Cruz in 1990, and her MA in 
 Anthropology from CSU Chico in 2013. She has worked as an archaeologist for 
 12 years, including research in many parts of Peru and California, and is 
 currently an Osteologist/Archaeologist for GEI Consultants, Inc. Her 
 research interests include reconstructing social identity, reconstructing 
 dietary patterns, skeletal analysis (both human and faunal), and 
 radiocarbon dating. She also loves photography, camping, hiking, cooking, 
 and travel.\n\n*The Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area has 
 approved this research and presentation.\n
