Anthropology, during 1966, anthropology students at Davis have been probing the remnants of Sacramento's historic waterfront community in a program uniting public service with practical experience. In addition to laboratory instruction during the fall and spring in archaeological methods, a number of UCD students worked last summer (1966) for the State Division of Beaches and Parks, uncovering artifacts and useful data for a museum. History books and these objects will provide the last link with this area once bustling with gold miners and traders during the mid-19th century. Soon the area will be part of a freeway.
