PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Ms. Andrews earned her M.A. in Anthropology with a specialization in Public Archaeology from California State University, Northridge (CSUN). Her thesis research dealt with sampling methodology and the analysis of fish bone remains from the Eel Point site on San Clemente Island. She has been listed on the Register of Professional Archaeologists since 2000. Having served as Principal Investigator, Co-Principal Investigator, and Field Director, Ms. Andrews has experience in all aspects of project management, ranging from records searches and field work to report writing and preparation. She also has experience in laboratory management, including artifact analysis, cataloging and curation, and has served as laboratory director for three university-run field schools. She is also ASM's technical report editor, providing in-house quality assurance and quality control.

Ms. Andrews' work in San Diego County has included numerous excavation, testing and survey projects on Camp Pendleton for SWDIV and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; excavation and testing of a shell midden site in the Caltrans I-5 right-of-way; excavation of a large Archaic shell midden site near Campus Point; excavation and testing of four inland sites near Ramona; and the Caltrans SR-188 road widening project which involved excavation and testing of a lithic site near Tecate. Ms. Andrews has directed several surveys and testing projects in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. In Imperial County, she participated in a pedestrian survey and site recording project covering over 20 linear miles for a fiber optic line, as well as testing of several sites in the area.

Her experience in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Orange counties derives from the analysis of numerous fish bone assemblages from both prehistoric and historic sites spanning the southern California coast.

She has done extensive work on San Clemente Island and has analyzed fish remains from over a dozen sites on the island. In addition, she has taken part in pedestrian survey and prehistoric site and rock art recording in Baja California Sur.
