California's Ancient Past
(2011). California's Ancient Past: From the Pacific to the Range of Light by Jeanne E. Arnold and Michael R. Walsh. California Archaeology: Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 294-298
On Linguistics and Cascading Inventions
In her recent article, 'Credit Where Credit is Due: The History of the Chumash Oceangoing Plank Canoes,' Jeanne Arnold questions our 2005 paper in which we suggested that a prehistoric contact event with Polynesians resulted in conveyance of the sewn-plank boat construction technique and a particular style of compound bone fishhook to the Chumash and Gabrielino of southern California. We agree with many of Arnold's views about the cascading effec…
Chapter 15 Advances in Understanding Mojave Desert Prehistory
California Prehistory
Some forty scholars examine California's prehistory and archaeology, looking at marine and terrestrial palaeoenvironments, initial human colonization, linguistic prehistory, early forms of exchange, mitochondrial DNA studies, and rock art. This work is the most extensive study of California's prehistory undertaken in the past 20 years. An essential resource for any scholar of California prehistory and archaeology
On Open Minds and Missed Marks
While we appreciate Atholl Anderson's willingness to consider transoceanic diffusion as a viable possibility, he misrepresents parts of our argument and ignores others, particularly the linguistics that suggest that the Chumash and Gabrieliño borrowed the technique of sewn-plank construction and words related to that technique—not the word for boat or the specific design of a boat. The composite bone fishhook that appears in the Santa Barbara Cha…
Diffusionism Reconsidered
While the prevailing theoretical orthodoxy of North American archaeology overwhelmingly discourages consideration of transoceanic cultural diffusion, linguistic and archaeological evidence appear to indicate at least one instance of direct cultural contact between Polynesia and southern California during the prehistoric era. Three words used to refer to boats - including the distinctive sewn-plank canoe used by Chumashan and Gabrielino speakers o…

THE FEW EVIDENTreminders that the land of Cali fomi a was not always inhabited mainly by people of European origin are the placenames which have as their sources the languages of the state's numerous Indian groups.In Southern California, from Los Angeles to just north of San Luis Obispo, the land was occupied, at the time of the European arrival, by Chumash Indians.There were three distinct linguistic divisions within the group, which may by call…
