Chumash Ritual and Sacred Geography on Santa Cruz Island, California
UC Merced Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology Title Chumash Ritual and Sacred Geography on Santa Cruz Island, California Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0z15r2hj Journal Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology, 27(2) ISSN 0191-3557 Author Perry, Jennifer E Publication Date 2007 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology | Vol, 27, No, 2 (2007) | pp. 103-124 Chumash Ritual and Sacred Geography on Santa Cruz Island, California JENNIFER E. 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). -
Classification of the House Finch of the Channel Islands, Southern California Philip Unitt, San Diego Natural History Museum, P
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. -

Jill and Hank Chambers' San Diego Favorites
JILL AND HANK CHAMBERS’ SAN DIEGO FAVORITES We’ve personally eaten at all of these restaurants and recommend them to you. We’ve left off countless ones that weren’t so great and may not have visited some new great ones. There is a great map of San Diego in the Restaurant section of the Yellow Pages. Of course there is Google and Yahoo as well. Also there is a map and itinerary at the end of this list. (The numbers next to the restaurants refer to that map) Most of these will require reservations at least a few days in advance. However, if you use www.opentable.com, there are often reservations available even when the restaurant says that they don’t have any. Another great website for restaurants and other activities with review is: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g60750-San_Diego_California- Vacations.html Pick up the ―Reader‖ at any supermarket or convenience store. It has the best list of what’s happening in San Diego or go online to http://www.sandiegoreader.com/home/ By the way an 858 prefix usually means north of the I-8, 619 south of the I-8 and 760 is North County Our City San Diego Magazine Favorites June 2009 Best Place to find your inner solitude: Mount Soledad Best Bookstore for Hour Long Lounging: Upstart Crow in Horton Plaza Best Place to Buy Healthy Food: Whole Foods Best Place to See the Sunset: La Jolla Shores Beach Best Place for a Solo Meal: Zenbu in LaJolla and Cardiff-by-the-Sea Best Healthy Restaurant: Tender Greens in Point Loma Liberty Station Best Place to Pamper Yourself: The Spa at Rancho Bernardo Inn Best Salon: MODA Hair Design 3754 Sixth Ave. -

Monographs of the Western North American Naturalist 7, © 2014, pp. 109–117 TERRESTRIAL RESOURCE EXPLOITATION ON SANTA CRUZ ISLAND, CALIFORNIA: MACROBOTANICAL DATA FROM FOUR MIDDLE HOLOCENE SITES Kristin M. 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. -
