1 M SSIO DIG RE EALS CLUES T0 SCU'S PAST 'he Anthropology Department had an interesting on-going study on its hands during the summer cf 1985. Led by David Huelsbeck, Ph.D., students in the Anthropology 197 class continued their tudy of one of the five sites of the Mission Santa Clara. Originally, said Dr. Huelsbeck, the rst Mission was built After earthquakes da- pproximately at the orth end of the San ose Airport, and was ooded out after two ears. After another maged this develop- ment in 1818, the mis- sionaries began the fifth, and last, Mission Santa Clara on the vo years at a location land the church occu- V1 somewhat higher round, the missionar- rs decided to begin uilding a permanent hurch. Up to that aint, explained Dr. iuelsbeck, they con- .ructed buildings by riving sapling ltreesj :to the ground, weav- ig brush in between gem, then packing iud on top.

Arthur Spearman, S.J., author of The Five Franciscan Churches of the Mis- sion Santa Clara, began the archaeological dig near the third site. It was Mark Lynch, Ph.D., who started to integrate students into the field study. In the summer of 1982, he and his group uncov- ered the foundation of one of the buildings. But later that year, a drunk driver hit and killed Dr. Lynch on the Alameda. Dr. Huelsbeck has used many of Dr. Lynch's notes to begin his work. He really laid the foundation for the study, said Dr. Huels- beck, but it's now at a point where it can pro- ceed on its own ac- cord. So far, the field study under Dr. Huels- beck has found a wide variety of artifacts. They have accumulat- ed many pieces of ado- be, including both floor and roof tiles. The dig- gers have also found remains of Mexican and Indian pottery. By studying these artifacts and others, such as animal bones and food remains, Dr. Huelsbeck and his group were able to be- gin to piece together the lives of the Span- ish missionaries and the converted Indians who lived at the Mis- sion. by Mark Chambers Mission Dig Reveals Clues To SCU's Past
