California's Channel Islands are a chain of eight islands that
extend along the state's southern coastline from Santa Barbara's
Point Conception to the Mexican border. Popular tourist
destinations today, these islands once supported some of the
earliest human populations in the Americas; archaeological evidence
of maritime Paleo-Indian settlements on the northern islands dates
back some 13,000 years. The indigenous peoples of the islands--the
Chumash of the northern islands and the Tongva of the southern
islands--thrived into historic times by relying upon the abundance
and diversity of marine and terrestrial resources available to
them. "California's Channel Islands "presents a definitive
archaeological investigation of these unique islands and their
inhabitants, and is the first publication to discuss the islands
and their peoples holistically rather than individually or by
subgroup.
