What we do
We recruit, train, and support members of the public to volunteer as site stewards at archaeological and historical sites.
Site stewards regularly visit their assigned sites and report site conditions. They keep sensitive site information confidential. They do not dig in the site or remove artifacts.
Site stewards work with state and federal public agencies and at private conservation organizations. They are supervised by local archaeologists to whom they submit their reports.
CASSP activities provide volunteers with purposeful work, support agency archaeologists, and help protect heritage sites.

First CASSP Heritage Hike
Eighteen people hiked to the M*A*S*H* film location on the old 20th Century Fox Ranch, which now is part of the Malibu Creek State Park. The hike included several CASSP archaeologists, the park archaeologist, and local historian Brian Rooney, who wrote the book Three Magical Miles about the history of this site and many other movie locations in the area.
