California Archaeology with Dr. John Johnson

Dr. John Johnson, a UCSB alumni, curator of Anthropology at the Santa Barbara Natural History, and adjunct Professor of Anthropology at UCSB, joins us on the podcast today. He has been working and researching on California Archaeology and California Native Americans for over 45 years, and has been a curator at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum for the duration of those years. He has worked closely with the Chumash, both ancient Chumash cultural materials, historical records, and living members of the tribe such as in his project 6 Generations (https://www.kanopy.com/product/6-generations). 6 Generations follows a Chumash family from the time of the mission to present day. He talks exciting discoveries, his role as a museum curator, and some of his research endeavors recently.
