AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Colten uses faunal data to discuss subsistence on the west end of Santa Cruz Island and the Santa Barbara Channel Islands. He then compares the faunal data from the Santa Barbara Channel Islands with the mainland and the interior. There was a climatic upheaval between 850 B.P. - 700 B.P. (A.D. 1150 - 1300) which changed sea temperatures. The faunal data during this time period seem to indicate the diet for the people living in the Santa Barbara region changed to include more marine resources such as fish and shellfish.
