Chumash artifacts collected in Santa Barbara County, California

Descripción

"The collection is of considerable importance since it contains practically every known Canaliño type of artifact (Rogers 1929; Orr 1943), and positively extends the range of the Chumash Indians to the Cuyama drainage. By Chumash I refer to the Chumash speaking people who were in possession of the Santa Barbara region at the beginning of the Spanish Period, with a recognizable culture pattern known as the Canaliño culture which had endured for several thousand years"--P. 3.
