California's Channel Islands: The Archaeology of Human-Environment Interactions

California's Channel Islands are a chain of eight islands that extend along the state's southern coastline. Popular tourist destinations today, these islands once supported some of the earliest human populations in the Americas. California's Channel Islands presents a definitive archaeological investigation of these unique islands and their inhabitants, and is the first publication to discuss the islands and their peoples holistically rather than individually or by subgroup.
