Three midden samples from arbitrary 10-centimeter levels in a column at shell mound site CA-SMA-151 in San Mateo County, coastal California, were examined for macrofloral remains. The lowest level of the column stopped at the level above a human burial. The site is within the Coastanoan/Ohlone ethnographic area, and similar sites in the area have been dated to the Late Period, about 1200-1300 A.D. Conventional radiocarbon ages of 1090 ± 40 BP and 920 ± 40 BP were obtained on mussel shell...

Site MC-1 lies in the city of Agoura Hills, Los Angeles County, California. Two sediment samples, collected from a test unit placed approximately 50 meters from Medea Creek, were submitted for macrofloral analysis to recover and identify plants used by site occupants. Radiocarbon analysis conducted on material recovered from the test unit provided two sets of age ranges suggesting occupation between AD 1455–1645 (70–80 cmbd) and AD 1650–post 1950 (10–20 cmbd)(Breana Campbell, personal...
