Book Description
The Burton Mound site, CA-SBA-28, was consistently documented by the Spanish expeditions of the 16th-19th centuries as being adjacent to a principal town of the Barbaręo Chumash. As a result of historic and modern construction, this important site and many others in the Santa Barbara Channel Region either no longer exist or are inaccessible. Thus, the collections resulting from three excavations at CA-SBA-28 are of considerable significance. Only one of the collections has been the subject of a major publication. In 1969, Dr. Claude Warren directed excavations of the site prior to pending construction. The faunal remains recovered from the 1969 excavation are studied for the first time to investigate Coastal Chumash subsistence during phases of the Early and Middle periods for which little is known. Analysis of the faunal assemblage provides insights into timing and use of Chumash watercraft, and how climatic uncertainty may have affected subsistence and settlement patterns.

Delta Jewels
Author: Alysia Burton Steele
Publisher: Center Street
ISBN: 1455562831
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Inspired by memories of her beloved grandmother, photographer and author Alysia Burton Steele -- picture editor on a Pulitzer Prize-winning team -- combines heart-wrenching narrative with poignant photographs of more than 50 female church elders in the Mississippi Delta. These ordinary women lived extraordinary lives under the harshest conditions of the Jim Crow era and during the courageous changes of the Civil Rights Movement. With the help of local pastors, Steele recorded these living witnesses to history and folk ways, and shares the significance of being a Black woman -- child, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother in Mississippi -- a Jewel of the Delta. From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times.
