VAFB-2009-14: Macrobotanical Analysis of Soil Samples from CA-SBA-658, Santa Barbara County, California

Author(s): Virginia S. Popper

Year: 2009

Summary

This document is a report of the results of a Macro botanical Analysis of Soil Samples from CA-SBA-658. This analysis suggests that the inhabitants of site CA-SBA-658 collected plants from Honda Creek, nearby grasslands, and scrub/chaparral to obtain food and firewood. Some of the recovered taxa were also used for medicinal and utilitarian purposes. Extremely poor preservation conditions at both sites have greatly hampered our understanding of how their inhabitants interacted with the plant world.
