MACROBOTANICAL ANALYSIS FROM CA-SBA-60, THE HISTORIC CHUMASH VILLAGE OF S'AXPILIL

Summary

A total of eleven macrofloral samples were sent for analysis and identification. The

samples were recovered from CA-SBA-60, multicomponent prehistoric and historic site in Santa

Barbara County, California. Due to the size, depth, and diversity of archaeological remains, the

site CA-SBA-60 is believed to be the historic Chumash village of S'axpilil. The site is located

adjacent to the northern boundary of the ancestral Goleta slough. Depending on the rate of

preservation and the source of deposition, the use of macrobotanical analysis might provide a

clearer assessment of the plant resources available to and utilized by occupants at the site.
