Cultural Heritage - The project whose collection, analysis and interpretation highlights an aspect of the cultural diversity that is the hallmark of San Diego's past.
Scientific Research - The project whose fieldwork and analysis exemplifies innovative techniques, methodologies, or interpretations of San Diego's archaeological record. Honorable mention will also be given to outstanding projects in each category.

Funds raised from this event and silent auction will support our ability to provide archaeology exhibits, outreach events and educational programs for students, educators and the general public that convey the depth and importance of California’s rich cultural heritage. We have a goal to complete our Culture Classroom in 2009 with eco-friendly flooring, cabinets and countertops. Please consider an additional donation to help us to meet our goal. Thank you!
