MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS FOR SITE CA-SBA-60 LAS VEGAS CREEK, CALIFORNIA

Summary

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 samples were taken from an intact midden deposit and are not

associated with features such as hearths or living surfaces. Macrobotanical analysis should

provide an assessment of available plant resources, including wood used as fuel and seeds

collected for subsistence.
