Late Holocene Paleoclimatic Stress and Prehistoric Human Occupation on San Clemente Island - Report (Legacy 91-083/91-473)

Author(s): Andrew Yasko

Year: 2000

Summary

This doctoral dissertation discusses a study supporting the thesis that adverse paleoenvironmental conditions during the late Holocene appear to have notably influenced prehistoric cultural evolution in the Southern California Bight region. Radiocarbon dating confirmed changes in prehistoric settlement patterning, indicating a movement toward more reliable water sources, during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (AD 650-1250).
