Our Earliest Californians: The Evidence from Arlington Springs
John R. Johnson, Ph.D., Curator of Anthropology
Why is Arlington Springs important? This ancient site on Santa Rosa Island, complemented by genetic studies of living Chumash Indians, contributes to an understanding of how paleo-peoples first entered the Americas. In 1987 John Johnson began research with two human bones discovered nearly thirty years earlier by museum archaeologist Phil Orr that had been buried 37 feet below the surface, exposed in the canyon wall. The bones proved to be the oldest yet dated in the Americas.
Join us for an exploration of the prehistoric past through archaeological clues unearthed during excavations
at the site.
