Miwok Lineages and the Political Unit in Aboriginal California
Californian Balanophagy
Experimental Boat and Ship Archaeology: Principles and Methods
The need for experiments to study physical aspects of craft of the past is stated, as well as the necessity for them to have clear aims and to follow the established principles of scientific enquiry. These principles are discussed in this joint paper by ten maritime archaeologists and others, together with methods and some points of management critical to their application in this field

Re Archaeology of the Galapagos Islands
I am indebted to my former Galapagos colleague, Mr. Joseph R. Slevin, Curator of Herpetology, California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, for the following data which may have some pertinence in the moot problem of Amerindian archaeology in the Galapagos Islands. Mr. Slevin, recently in London, excerpted portions of the original logs and diaries of early voyagers to the Galapagos for his book on that group.From the log book of the Ship Rattler…
Archaeological Sites on Opposite Shores of the Gulf of California
In 1946 Gifford published a brief account entitled “Archaeology in the Punta Penasco Region, Sonora” ( American Antiquity , Vol. 11, pp. 215-21). Subsequently we both spent considerable time examining sites in the region, upon which we purpose to publish once we have a Carbon 14 date for the prepottery horizon. In January, 1951, we examined sites in the vicinity of San Felipe, Northern Territory, Baja California, across the Gulf from Punta Peñasc…

The Cochise Culture Olivella
The only marine mollusk listed for 22 samples from beds on Whitewater Creek and San Pedro River is a fragment of Olivella identified as Olivella pedroana Conrad: 'A marine species of the Gulf of California and the Pacific coast from California southward. Only one fragment found. It is possible that this might have been used as an ornament.' This specimen is from the lowest or Sulphur Spring stage of the Cochise culture, which has yielded certain …
Early Central Californian and Anasazi Shell Artifact Types
In his recently published paper on 'The Archaeology of Central California I: The Early Horizon' Robert F. Heizer writes 'it is possible to anticipate at least in the later Southwestern horizons, for which we have dendrochronologic dates, a direct cross-chronology between the Southwest and California in terms of actual year dates.'Fourteen Californian shell types from Anasazi sites, ranging from Basketmaker II to Pueblo IV, have been listed. Nine …
Diet and the Age of Californian Shellmounds
In shell middens bones and shells are surviving indicators of the diet of the former inhabitants. Unless carbonized, the plants consumed leave no obvious trace.A comparison of Californian and Fijian (Viti Levu Island) shellmounds reveals a striking similarity in the quantity of bone and an even more striking dissimilarity in the quantity of shell. In both areas bone constitutes less than onehalf of one per cent of the weight of the mound mass. In…
Archaeology in the Punta Peñasco Region, Sonora
The incentive for an archaeological reconnaissance of this region (see map, Fig. 29) by Mrs. Gifford and myself in the fall of 1944, and again for a single day in November, 1945, came from reading references to kitchen middens in the report of the conchologist H. N. Lowe: 'The numerous large kitchen middens at Punta Peñasco and Punta La Cholla contained thousands of these Glycimeris maculata with rarely a valve of the much larger G. gigantea. Wit…

A Problem in Kinship Terminology
A Problem in Kinship Ter minology,!settles the problem to his own satisfaction with the follow ing formulation concerning certain types of kinship systems (p.569):The type which violates the generation principle is an outgrou:th of the type which does not, and is due to the influence of a fully mature, influential clan system.When the clan system is young and weak the kinship system will be of the Dakota-Iroquois type, regardless of the sex in wh…
