scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series comprises material relating to Walker's California bioarchaeological projects, from 1969-2003 and undated. This includes research files, faunal analysis data sheets, osteological data sheets, notes, graphs, and photographs.

The project and research files are primarily concerned with identified California archeological sites. These cover archaeological digs that Walker managed or was involved in and analysis of remains from previously excavated California archaeological sites housed in museums and universities. The Channel Islands and the Santa Barbara area were of particular interest to Walker, but the material also includes sites in Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and San Luis Obispo County.

The subject files include materials that either cover a specific topic across multiple archaeological sites (i.e. hypoplasia, molar attrition, butcher marks) and/or are not identifiable as being associated with a specific site. The unidentified photographs include photographic material that most likely corresponds to California research, but is not specifically identifiable. The forms, procedures, and code sheets are blank examples of materials used to collect and analyze site data.
