Prehistoric Ceramic Objects from Catalina Island

Abstract

The primary objectives of this paper are to discuss the context, chronology, and significance of two fired clay objects recovered from excavations at the Little Harbor site on Catalina Island. The ceramic items described here were recovered from the 1973 excavation of the Little Harbor site conducted by Nelson Leonard, III. The Little Harbor site (Ca-SCaI-17) was initially excavated and described between 1953 and 1955 by Clement Meighan (1959).
