SHE SORTS SEASHELLS IN ORDER TO RESTORE: SHELL AND STONE BEAD ANALYSIS OF AN ORPHANED COLLECTION FROM THE ANTELOPE VALLEY.
- Authors
BERTMAN, SARAH E.
- Abstract
From 1982 to 1986, a series of excavations took place at the Totem Pole Ranch site by former Antelope Valley College faculty and students. The site is believed to be the historic Ranchería Maviayek occupied by the Serrano people during Spanish contact. This article reports the initial results from the analysis of shell and stone beads recovered over the four years of excavation. The analysis in this article presents temporal typological changes represented through the diversity of the collection, insight to possible trade and exchange networks, and the impact of Spanish influence on methods and tools used in bead production.
