Six samples from various levels of fill in two units at Swordfish Cave (CA-SBA-503) on Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, were floated to recover macrofloral remains. This site represents a cave in a small sandstone outcrop with rock art panels both inside and outside the cave. A swordfish painted in black on top of a red oval is noted to be typical of chumash illustrations. This cave experienced several use episodes during the late and terminal Early Period and the beginning of the...

A total of three samples were sent for macrofloral analysis and identification from site CA-SBA-60. Site CA-SBA-60 lies along the northern fringe of the Goleta Slough, west of Santa Barbara, CA. This multicomponent prehistoric and historic site is believed to be the historic Chumash village of S'axpilil. The three samples from CA-SBA-60 were collected from a bank exposure along Las Vegas Creek, where intact site deposits are capped with approximately 0.8 meters of disturbed fill. The...

Approximately one-third of the floor of an historic Chumash house was excavated on f1escalitan Island (CA-SBa-46). The floor was sampled for pollen along a 25 cm grid. The floor was clay, while the surrounding floor matrix was sand, so analysis of floor sediments that contained pollen and other debris that had been impressed into the surface was undertaken to identify evidence of subsistence and plant processing activities in the structure.

Pollen analysis was conducted on six samples from a prehistoric Chumash site (CA-SBA- 1823) in the western Santa Ynez Mountains. A cache of lithic tools that included groundstone was ·recovered. Pollen analysis of washes of two manos was compared with samples from the sediment within the rock cache, sediment outside the rock cache, and two modern control samples.
