About This Book

An archaeological report presents systematic excavations of a shellmound on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, detailing stratigraphy, construction, and environmental context. It inventories faunal remains and burnt features, describes human burials and associated funerary practices, and assesses cultural phases represented. An extensive typology catalogs stone, bone, antler, shell, and tooth implements—both ground and chipped—alongside pipes, mortars, and domestic artifacts. The author evaluates mound formation processes, relative age, and site taphonomy to interpret past settlement, resource use, and changes in occupation.

Footnotes have been relocated to the end of the section in which they are referenced. Footnote numbers 66, 67 and 139 and associated references are missing in the original text.
