AWARDS PRESENTED BY THE
SOCIETY FOR CALIFORNIA ARCHAEOLOGY

Lifetime Achievement Award. This award is given for cumulative contributions to California archaeology that have spanned a lifetime and are therefore reserved for the elder members of our profession. Although once awarded as a surprise, the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement award is now notified well ahead of time so that they and their supporters can plan to attend the Annual Meeting Awards Dinner. The recipient is identified during the Annual Meeting with a special ribbon on his or her name tag, and is hosted, along with family members, at the awards dinner.
