California's northern Channel Islands have one of the longest and
best-preserved archaeological records in the Americas, spanning
some 13,000 calendar years. When European explorers first travelled
to the area, these islands were inhabited by the Chumash, some of
the most populous and culturally complex hunter-gatherers known.
Chumash society was characterised by hereditary leaders,
sophisticated exchange networks and interaction spheres, and
diverse maritime economies. Focusing on the archaeology of five
sites dated to the last 3,000 years, this book examines the
archaeology and historical ecology of San Miguel Island, the
westernmost and most isolated of the northern Channel Islands.
Detailed faunal, artefact, and other data are woven together in a
diachronic analysis that investigates the interplay of social and
ecological developments on this unique island. The first to focus
solely on San Miguel Island archaeology, this book examines issues
ranging from coastal adaptations to emergent cultural complexity to
historical ecology and human impacts on ancient environments.
