Johnson Resume 1992 officials in acquiring a 160-acre park site in Orangevale. The area contains several Native American and Historic Sites, unique plant communities and geological formations. The Rock Corral was purchased by Sacramento County as an educational park. Director of the Southern Cascade Archaeological Project since 1966 . Several students have lived in the field for several months while carrying out their fieldwork. Four students have completed masters theses and others are conducting research. It is envisioned this project will continue indefinitely. Currently a management plan is under preparation for the 38 , 000 acre Dye Creek Ranch, which is under the management of the Nature Conservancy. Summer field schools associated with this project were held in 1967, 69-73 , 80-81, and 83 . Participated in the Vasilikos Valley Project in Cyprus in 1979-80 . Served as director of the archaeological survey in 1979 and as co- director of the initial excavations of the important Late Bronze Age site of Ayios Dhimitrios. This work was in conjunction with Brandeis University and was under the overall direction of Ian To Served as Senior Principal Investigator on the Cottonwood Creek and Black Butte Lake projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1981 to 1990 . During the course of this work a large number of graduate and undergraduate students received employment and were able to participate in a significant amount of research. Students have had the opportunity to learn by practical experience concepts related to both archaeology and physical anthropology and this has reinforced what they have learned in the classroom. This project has led to the completion of eight major monographs between 1984 and 1990 . Three were published in 1984 and the remaining five are being edited for publication by the Institute of Archaeology and Cultural Studies at CSUS. In 1970-71, as the representative of the Society for California Archeology, two bills were successfully lobbied through the legislature, which would have established a state wide archaeological, paleontological, and historic resources survey in the California Department of Conservation. The proposed legislation would also have created a registry of professional archaeologists. Unfortunately the bill creating the survey and registry was vetoed by Governor Reagan. Instead a volunteer task force comprised of 17 members, which included representatives from the University of California, CSUS, Society for California Archaeology, Native American Community, State Historical Society, Paleontologists, the State of California Resources Agency, and the Association of General Contractors, was signed by the governor. I served as the Executive Secretary of this task force and the representative of the CSUS system for the first of its three year existence. III�38
