Although not recognized by many in today’s California archaeological community, Jeffrey Dickemann’s contributions to anthropology in general and California archaeology in particular were significant (Figure 1). Dickemann’s impact can be recognized in two overlapping but somewhat disparate areas: major scholarly contributions to the subfield of human sociobiology in the 1970s and 1980s, and the education of a large number of would-be archaeologists and cultural resource management (CRM) professionals in anthropological theory at Sonoma State University between 1968 and 1990.

ABSTRACT The Chumash of the southern Central Coast of Alta California have long been recognized for their complex sociopolitical systems and extensive exchange networks. This study employs petrologic geoarchaeological methods to examine groundstone bowl and mortar fragments from Chumash archaeological sites along the Northern Channel Islands and the Oxnard Plain region of the southern Central Coast. Through comparison of macroscopic and microscopic descriptions, our purpose is to establish the rock units from which the artifacts were likely produced to determine whether these tools were locally manufactured, or if non-local, the possible distances over which these artifacts were transported. The results of our preliminary study suggest that during the early late Holocene, the local Chumash obtained their groundstone mortars via both local production and intraregional exchange, with some finished tools found at least 80 km distant from probable raw material sources.

ABSTRACT Recent excavations at the ranchería at Mission Santa Clara de Asís (CA-SCL-30H) yielded large, well-preserved, and well-contextualized faunal and plant assemblages from habitations by Native Americans. This study explores the use and deposition of faunal and plant resources as part of the subsistence regime and ritual performance of the Native Americans who occupied the adobe structures at Mission Santa Clara de Asís. These activities occurred both within the privacy of adobe houses and in the more public and communal spaces between structures, in what we have termed the “courtyard.” It is argued here that both contexts allowed the performance of native practices and that plants and animal resources, even in the face of apparent diminished access to wild resources, played a particularly important role in these activities.
最近在ranchería Santa Clara de Asís (CA-SCL-30H)的挖掘工作中，发现了来自美洲原住民居住地的大型、保存完好、环境良好的动物和植物群落。本研究探讨了作为居住在圣克拉拉教堂Asís的土坯结构的美洲原住民的生存制度和仪式表演的一部分的动物和植物资源的使用和沉积。这些活动既发生在土坯房的隐私中，也发生在建筑之间的公共和公共空间中，我们称之为“庭院”。本文认为，这两种情况都允许土著实践的表现，并且植物和动物资源，即使面对明显减少的野生资源，在这些活动中发挥了特别重要的作用。

ABSTRACT Archaeologists working in the far western Southwest distinguish the Lowland Patayan tradition by virtue of a distinctive, typically undecorated, light-colored pottery found along the lower Gila and lower Colorado rivers and in surrounding deserts. Known generally as “Lower Colorado Buff Ware,” research into Lowland Patayan pottery has a convoluted history, including the formulation of multiple typologies that are incompatible and whose chronologies contradict each other. This article discusses this history and critically evaluates the prevailing typology to expose some of its shortcomings. It also presents some data amassed over the past 40 years to show that the chronology girding it is inaccurate. To overcome this problem, I suggest that researchers of Lowland Patayan pottery temporarily set aside the ceramic type concept and consider the importance of attributes in relation to well-defined research questions, with particular attention directed at chronological refinement and material sourcing.

ABSTRACT This article considers a particular form of small, intricately serrated arrow points from central California. Several examples of this point were recovered during recent archaeological mitigation work at Mission Santa Clara de Asís (CA-SCL-30/H), where researchers have referred to them as Mission Santa Clara Serrated (MSCLS) points. Subsequent research indicates that similar points were recovered decades earlier from sites in the Central Valley and Sierra Nevada foothills, but until now had not been formally considered within existing projectile point typologies or regional culture history. We review the known examples of these points, including their physical attributes, geographic distribution, temporal placement, and similarities to previously described serrate Desert Side-Notched points. Our analysis suggests that the MSCLS point style was developed during the colonial period and spread throughout the region via Native Californians’ participation in and rejection of the Franciscan mission system.
摘要本文研究了一种来自加利福尼亚州中部的特殊形状的锯齿状小箭头。最近在Santa Clara de Asís任务（CA-SCL-30/H）的考古缓解工作中发现了几个这一点的例子，研究人员将其称为Santa Clara-Serrated任务（MSCLS）点。随后的研究表明，类似的点早在几十年前就从中央山谷和内华达山脉山麓的遗址中被发现，但直到现在，在现有的投射点类型学或地区文化史中还没有被正式考虑。我们回顾了这些点的已知例子，包括它们的物理属性、地理分布、时间位置，以及与先前描述的锯齿沙漠边缺口点的相似性。我们的分析表明，MSCLS点式是在殖民时期发展起来的，并通过加州原住民参与和拒绝方济各会传教系统而传播到整个地区。

Tracking cultural persistence and change before and through colonial entanglements is an important part of validating cultural authenticity amidst change. The other critical element here is the way Panich builds on the scholarship of others, including most notably that of Lightfoot (1995), to continue to show that the “prehistory” and “history” divide is an artificial one that limits study of longterm change and persistence. Panich richly uses archival and archaeological evidence to consider parallel cases of Native negotiations of colonialism, without a formulaic approach to understanding these colonial entanglements. Panich has produced a well-written and compelling case for reconsidering the historical legacies of colonialism and their impacts on Native societies today. I recommend this book for anyone researching Native California, indigenous identities, and colonialism. This study is unique for its comprehensive read of the historical and archaeological evidence, as well as its complex handling of issues of identity, agency, and cultural persistence. The insightful perspectives on divergent strategies for Native negotiation of colonialism are a powerful reminder of the enduring legacies of colonial structures and the potential for multiple, equally valid forms of indigeneity. This timely and well-researched study contributes an important voice to the fiercely contested (and often political) narrative of tribal authenticity. Anthropologists’ declarations of cultural continuity have a profound effect on federally regulated sovereignty rights and tribal self-determination, and this reframing of cultural authenticity and persistence is an important contribution to contemporary struggles for Native groups.
