After walking back to the hotel, we’ll continue learning about what makes the Channel Islands so special with our local expert. Just 1/3 the size of Rhode Island, these islands contain archeological wonders. The oldest skeleton found in North America, believed to be nearly 13,000 years old was discovered in 1959 on Santa Rosa Island. They have since been inhabited by Native American populations, who use canoes to freely travel between the islands and the mainland. Lunch: At the hotel. Afternoon: Our local expert will continue to enhance our knowledge about The Channel Islands, which are divided up into two groups; the Northern islands and the Southern islands. Historically, the Chumash people occupied the Northern islands while the Tongva lived on the Southern islands until the early 19th century, when they were relocated to Spanish missions and pueblos. After the lecture you can take this opportunity for personal independent exploration to see and do what interests you most in Ventura. Please refer to the list of Free Time Opportunities.

PERRY Department of Anthropology, Pomona College, Claremont, CA 91711 In contrast to the archaeological visibility of Chumash rock art on the mainland, its virtual absence on the northern Channel Islands is reflective of what little is understood about ritual behavior in island prehistory. By relying on relevant ethnohistoric and ethnographic references from the mainland, it is possible to evaluate how related activities may be manifested archaeologically on the islands. On Santa Cruz Island, portable ritual items and rock features have been identified on El Montahon and the North Ridge, the most prominent ridgelines on the northern islands Citing material correlates of ritual behavior, intentionally-made rock features are interpreted as possible shrines, which were an important aspect of winter solstice ceremonies among the mainland Chumash. Portable ritual items and possible shrines are considered in the context of sacred geography, revealing aspects of how the Chumash may have interacted with the supernatural landscape of Santa Cruz Island. andscapes are imbued with different attributes and Conception and Mount Pinos (as examples of the former) Llvalues; whether economic, aesthetic, recrea­ to sweatlodges and rock sites (as examples of the latter) tional, spiritual, or otherwise, these values intersect, (Grant 1965; Haley and Wilcoxon 1997,1999).

    NOTES CLASSIFICATION OF THE HOUSE FINCH OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PHILIP UNITT, San Diego Natural History Museum, P. O. Box 121390, San Diego, California 92112-1390; [email protected] The Channel Islands of southern California are renowned for their many endemic plants and animals. Among land birds, 22 endemic species or subspecies have been described. Not all of these are valid, however, and their distinctiveness spans a wide spectrum. Johnson (1972) categorized the islands’ land birds in five strata ranging from the Island Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma insularis) of Santa Cruz Island to those not known to differ from mainland populations. The last includes both species of which no subspecies endemic to the islands have been proposed, such as the Bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus), and described subspecies whose supposed differences have been discredited or found to be insufficient to meet the criteria for recognition. These synonymized names include Colaptes cafer sedentarius van Rossem, 1944 (with C. auratus collaris; AOU 1952), Vireo mailliardorum Grinnell, 1903 (with V. h. huttoni; AOU 1908), Salpinctes obsoletus pulverius Grinnell, 1898 (with S. o. obsoletus; Grinnell 1929), Amphispiza belli clementeae Ridgway, 1898 (with A. b. belli; Patten and Unitt 2002), and Melospiza melodia micronyx and M. m. clementae (the last two with M. m. graminea; Patten and Pruett 2009). The status of the supposed subspecies of the House Finch (Carpodacus mexicanus clementis) has also been questioned. In the original description, Mearns (1898:259) reported the House Finches of the Channel Islands to differ from those of the mainland (C. m. frontalis) in their larger legs and feet, broader streaking on the underparts, shorter wings, and “bill much larger and more convex above.” He designated a type specimen from San Clemente Island, U.S.

  • Birds on San Clemente Island, As Part of Our Work Toward the Recovery of the Island’S Endangered Species
    WESTERN BIRDS Volume 36, Number 3, 2005 THE BIRDS OF SAN CLEMENTE ISLAND BRIAN L. SULLIVAN, PRBO Conservation Science, 4990 Shoreline Hwy., Stinson Beach, California 94970-9701 (current address: Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd., Ithaca, New York 14850) ERIC L. KERSHNER, Institute for Wildlife Studies, 2515 Camino del Rio South, Suite 334, San Diego, California 92108 With contributing authors JONATHAN J. DUNN, ROBB S. A. KALER, SUELLEN LYNN, NICOLE M. MUNKWITZ, and JONATHAN H. PLISSNER ABSTRACT: From 1992 to 2004, we observed birds on San Clemente Island, as part of our work toward the recovery of the island’s endangered species. We increased the island’s bird list to 317 species, by recording many additional vagrants and seabirds. The list includes 20 regular extant breeding species, 6 species extirpated as breeders, 5 nonnative introduced species, and 9 sporadic or newly colonizing breeding species. For decades San Clemente Island had been ravaged by overgrazing, especially by goats, which were removed completely in 1993. Since then, the island’s vegetation has begun recovering, and the island’s avifauna will likely change again as a result. We document here the status of that avifauna during this transitional period of re- growth, between the island’s being largely denuded of vegetation and a more natural state. It is still too early to evaluate the effects of the vegetation’s still partial recovery on birds, but the beginnings of recovery may have enabled the recent colonization of small numbers of Grasshopper Sparrows and Lazuli Buntings. Sponsored by the U. S. Navy, efforts to restore the island’s endangered species continue—among birds these are the Loggerhead Shrike and Sage Sparrow.

Hoppa1 ABSTRACT.—On the northern Channel Islands, the occupation of interior sites during the Middle Holocene (6650–3350 cal BP) has been attributed, in part, to terrestrial resource exploitation. The presence of groundstone artifacts, particu- larly mortars and pestles, in Middle Holocene sites and burials supports the idea that plants were important during this time period. The current study presents macrobotanical data from 4 Middle Holocene sites on Santa Cruz Island. Of the 4 sites, 3 are located within the Central Valley, the island’s most productive watershed; whereas the fourth site is located on a coastal bluff on the eastern end of the island.

Abstract To eradicate invasive alien species from islands, land managers must have the ability to: detect all individuals, remove all individuals, outpace reproduction, and commit adequate resources to ensure project completion. Any inability to meet these criteria – whether due to technical, fi nancial or political factors – can fate a project to failure. Here, we discuss how helicopter-based methods can increase the likelihood of meeting eradication success criteria, while at the same time increasing effective use of limited resources and enhancing personnel safety. We examine the effi ciency and effectiveness of ground-based and aerial-based eradication methods used to eradicate feral pigs and control a suite of invasive plants to zero density on two islands in southern California, USA: Santa Catalina Island and Santa Cruz Island. This study highlights numerous advantages of using an intensive, systematic aerial approach in eradication efforts, as compared to more traditional ground-based methods.

  • Evidence for an Island Chumash Geophyte-Based Subsistence
    Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology | Vol. 36, No. 1 (2016) | pp. 51–71 Evidence for an Island Chumash Geophyte-Based Subsistence Economy on the Northern Channel Islands KRISTINA M. GILL Department of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara KRISTIN M. HOPPA Department of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara We synthesize northern Channel Islands archaeobotanical data to discuss broad, diachronic patterns in ancient plant use. Using quantitative and qualitative comparisons, we explore the relative importance of plant foods through time and consider how plant food rankings on the islands may have differed from those on the mainland. We argue that geophytes were the highest ranked plant food resource, valued for their contribution of easily procured carbohydrates in an island environment rich in marine protein and fat resources. Geophytes are phenomenally abundant on the islands, and were used consistently by the Island Chumash and their ancestors for at least 10,000 years with no significant change through time. We also explore the representation of various other plant foods through time and consider what archaeobotanical data indicate about the use of groundstone, division of labor, and island-mainland exchange networks. alifornia’s northern Channel Islands native island flora, many of which were important food C have a long history of human occupation and sources for the Island Chumash. excellent preservation of archaeological sites.
