An analysis of the archaeology of two coastal areas of Central California gives strong support to the sequence of three culture periods proposed in 1939 for the prehistoric archaeology of the lower and middle Sacramento River Valley. For one area, the ocean coast of Marin County just north of San Francisco Bay, the first intensive excavations were made by archaeological field parties from the University of California during the summers of 1940 and 1941 ;.the data and conclusions have not been published previously. For the second area, around the shores of San Francisco Bay, few additions have been made to the artifact collections and field data since the latest full site report was made in 1926.3 However, the interpretation presented here comes from reappraisal of the original artifacts and notes from the limited number of published sites, and from study of museum collections from a greater number of smaller sites which have not yet been described in print.

abstract Arrays of seismographs are usually considered to be detectors which give enhanced signals from distant earthquakes. They also provide, however, a new way of learning more about the structure of the crust and upper mantle. The deviation of the seismic-wave surface from its expected configuration may be regarded as a consequence of non-homogeneous and anisotropic conditions in the earth. The operations of the University of California network of telemetry stations in the Coast Ranges of California provides an opportunity to discover the practicality of this approach. The situation of this network near the continental margin gives the study particular interest. The differences in arrival-times between array elements of coherent peaks or troughs of P and pP phases from 28 teleseisms in the period of 1963-1964 were read from the telemetry records of the central California seismographic array. The direction of approach and velocities of the wave fronts were then determined and compared with the great circle azimuths and with the apparent velocities calculated from the Jeffreys-Bullen tables. The observed anomalies in direction of approach and apparent velocites are found to be cyclic functions of the direction of the source. The amplitudes of these functions are almost 10 degrees in azimuth anomaly and 1.0 sec/deg in slowness anomaly. Error analyses show that the anomaly functions cannot be attributed to the measurement errors. The derived anomaly functions provide a powerful means of examining crustal and upper mantle structure under the array and perhaps at the source. Variations between subsets of the array indicate significant differences in structure between portions of the Coast Ranges to the north and to the south of Hollister.

Stratigraphic Sequences

For a number of years the subject of California archaeology has undergone a great deal of discussion. A large measure of this discussion has been concerned with the problem of chronology. Heizer (1949) has postulated a classification of cultural and temporal relationships for central California. His chronology is based primarily on stratigraphic sequences together with intrasite comparisons and geological-chemical soil and bone analysis.This paper is an attempt to examine a part of his sequences using a new method for the chronological ordering of archaeological deposits (Brainerd 1951; Robinson 1951). The material to follow will be divided into three categories: 1) theory and method; 2) a discussion of the sequences resulting from the application of the method used here; and 3) the nature of the conclusions which one may safely draw in the light of 1) and 2) above.

Section Sample

In May 1955, an arithmetic test containing 100 items was administered to a cross-section sample of schools in England under the direction of the British National Foundation for Educational Research. Through arrangements with the Foundation and the University of California (Berkeley) an adapted form of the same test* was given to a similarly selected sample of schools in Central California in January, 1957. The study was financed by the research fund of the Department of Education of the University of California (Berkeley). This article reports a comparison of the results.
