Postcontact Cultural Perseverance on the Central California Coast
Indigenous people throughout North America were dramatically affected by the invasion of European colonizers. Growing evidence suggests that, among many strategies for survival and perseverance, increased sedentism was common; it often resulted from either forced resettlement or attempts to access European resources. We present artifactual, paleoethnobotanical, and faunal findings from the yak tichu tichu yak tilhini northern Chumash village of T…
Earliest evidence for human use of tobacco in the Pleistocene Americas
The Holocene biogeography of Pinus sabiniana Douglas ex D. Don (gray pine) in California
Hunter-Gatherer Storage, Settlement, and the Opportunity Costs of Women's Foraging
Food storage is a crucial adaptation for hunter-gatherers who face seasonal resource shortfalls, but the extra time that hunter-gatherer s must spend accumulating food surpluses has the potential to conflict with the time they need for other activities during seasons of abundance. Since the activities that conflict with storage may be different for women and men, it is important to consider which gender is responsible for storage. We argue that w…
California Indian Proto-Agriculture
Despite the fact that California Indians lived, gathered, hunted, and managed lowland oak ecosystems for millennia, the land was productive enough in the 1860s to support a new and very intensive land use: modern agriculture. Drawing from an existing legacy of the Indian era – its fertile soils, biodiversity, conserved water, and abundant timber resources – modern agriculture flourished. This chapter characterizes the indigenous food cultivation …
Plant Resource Structure and the Prehistory of Plant Use in Central Alta California
In this article, I review major native plant resources of cismontane central California, borrow return rates for plant resources from other areas of North America, and establish a ranking system of resource classes. Terrestrial roots are highest ranked, followed by nuts, small seeds, and aquatic roots. I use these rankings with plant abundance to propose estimates of productivity by plant community to frame a discussion of the archaeobotanical re…
The Prehistoric Development of Intensive Green-Cone Piñon Processing in Eastern California
The upland piñon zone has long been an important source of data for archaeological theorybuilding in the Western Great Basin. Recent excavations in the piñon zone on Sherwin Summit eastern California, the traditional homeland of the Owens Valley Paiute, have shed much light on the role of rock rings and charcoal stains in green-cone piñon processing and storage. Radiocarbon dating points to a late prehistoric intensification of green-cone process…
