Conflict archaeology has recently begun to focus on the effect of warfare on hunter-gatherers. A key issue in Southern California revolves around the effectiveness of indigenous weaponry. Numerous accounts describe club-like weapons as well as bows and arrows. Little archaeological evidence, however, is available on the role and impact of these weapons on conflict. This paper reports on experiments designed to document trauma inflicted by weapons replicated from archaeological and museum...
Late Holocene occupation in southern California using data derived from Cultural Resource Management studies on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California (2015)
This paper explores aspects of the archaeology of coastal California. Drawing on a large body of data collected during cultural resource management studies on Camp Pendleton in northern San Diego County. The period of broad focus is the Late Holocene. Since chronological issues are central to this study, only radiocarbon dated sites are described while exploring the wider landscape, and changes it its use, and occupation. Landscape factors considered include chronology, topographic setting,...
POLLEN AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS FOR SEVERAL SITES IN THE OAK COUNTRY ESTATES, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2002)
Samples from eight archaeological sites located along Santa Maria Creek in Oak Country Estates, southern California, were examined for pollen and/or protein residue. Four stratigraphic pollen columns were examined to provide evidence concerning vegetation from the time of prehistoric occupation until present. In addition, several pieces of ground stone and flaked lithics were examined for evidence of food processing or procurement. Radiocarbon ages, ranging from 1800 BP to 1000 BP and...

A Study of Lithic Debitage from Talepop (CA-LAN-229) at Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, California (2017)
CA-LAN-229 is a prehistoric archaeological site and an ethnohistoric Chumash village, Talepop, in the interior Santa Monica Mountains in southern California with evidence of human occupation stretching nearly 9000 years. There are both chronometric and ethnographic lines of evidence which indicate a punctuated occupation from 5000 BC up until the 1800s. The longevity of the occupation of the site provides a rare opportunity to study and test chronologies. The site is also distinctive because of...
