Early Hunter-Gatherers of the California Coast

The book presents a detailed reconstruction of the paleography of the Santa Barbara coast around 8500 years ago, drawing on excavation data and comparisons to early California sites. It explores theories related to hunter-gatherers and coastal environments, emphasizing paleographic reconstructions, site formation processes, and chronological studies. Integrated faunal analyses are also included, making this work valuable for scholars in fields such as shell middens, hunter-gatherer ecology, geoarchaeology, and coastal adaptations.
