| The Kamupau project is a multifaceted approach to rock art recording and conservation. With a program of comprehensive photography, computerized drawings of isolated layers, a complete conservation analysis, environmental studies, archaeological investigations, and pigment analyses, the project is developing a "baseline of information". This baseline of information is currently being employed to try to gain a better anthropological understanding of the indigenous people who lived and created the compelling pictographs and other features that survive to this day at Kamupau. Kamupau is an incredibly important and fragile archaeological site. Located in the isolated hills of Southern California, Kamupau is a complex archaeological site comprised of bedrock-mortars, cupule, and pictograph features. Archaeologists found tiny fragments of pigment in the sand on the cave floor.
