Hippie archaeology" generally refers to the archaeological study of the 1960s/70s counterculture, focusing on excavating or analyzing sites like communes, festival grounds, and camps. It is a form of contemporary archaeology that treats material remains—such as records, broken pottery, and personal items—as a time capsule of that era's lifestyle.

Join SCAS for a talk by Breck Parkman entitled “Digging the Sixties: An Archaeology of Hippies and Marines” The talk will be held on June 13, 2019, at 7:30 pm at the Santa Cruz Live Oak Grange Hall at 1900 17th Ave, Santa Cruz, CA 95062 (click here for Google Maps directions).
