TALAUGON Chumash Contributor, Guadalupe Cultural Arts and Education Center, 1065 Guadalupe Street, Guadalupe, CA 93434 The frst known Chumash tree carving from south-central California was recently discovered in the Santa Lucia Range of San Luis Obispo County. We present Saint-Onge’s hypothesis that the principal symbolic element of this arborglyph represents Ursa Major, known as ’ilihiy, and Polaris (the North Star), known as Shnilemun or the Coyote of the Sky, in Chumash oral literature. Some of the most famous rock art sites in south-central California contain a similar motif. Furthermore, the position of this image at many of these sites appears to be one that affords unobstructed views of the North Star. This research builds upon previous studies of archaeoastronomical links between Chumash ritual and rock art. We present further evidence that periodic celebrations were held in conjunction with certain predictable celestial events throughout the year, and that the symbolism of the counterclockwise rotation of Ursa Major around the North Star was embodied in Chumash ceremonial behavior.

  • Abridged Vita 2012
    ABRIDGED VITA 2012 EDWARD A. KELLER Environmental Studies and Department of Earth Science University of California Santa Barbara, California 93106 Keller, Edward A. (1942-) Earth Surface Processes, Engineering Geology, Environmental Geology University of California, Santa Barbara, June 17,2009. Statement by A. E. Gates (2003)1 When an earthquake occurs in the eastern or central part of the United States there are seismic waves that shake buildings and other structures but rarely is there evidence on the surface as to where it occurred. Instead the only way to locate the earthquake is with seismographs and patterns of seismic activity are as uncommon as the surface features. For that reason, geomorphology is regarded as a rather gentle branch of geology there. In the western United States on the other hand, earthquakes and other tectonic movements leave scars, induce landslides and generally wreak havoc on buildings and people. In stark contrast to the east, tectonic geomorphology is a dynamic and dangerous study. Edward Keller is one of the foremost experts on tectonic geomorphology especially with regard to earthquake reduction and prevention. By studying relative uplift and subsidence both in terms of rates and elevation changes, tectonic movements and their extent and intensity may be revealed. The beautiful wave cut terraces of the California Pacific coast are excellent examples of the types of features that Keller studies. They reveal sequential tectonic uplift of the land surface with erosion during the quiet periods. Such studies can reveal information on recurrence intervals for earthquakes, potential for blind faults, as well as landslides and other hazards.
