A Burial Cave in Baja California

In 'A Burial Cave in Baja California', William C. Massey and Carolyn M. Osborne provide an in-depth analysis of the Palmer Collection, a set of seven partially disturbed skeletons and associated artifacts discovered by Dr. Edward Palmer in a natural cave in Bahía de Los Angeles in 1887. This collection is particularly important because of its immediate geographic source and the potential implications for understanding the history of the Seri people in the region. Massey and Osborne's work sheds light on the known archaeology and ethnography of Baja California, providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the original peoples of Southern Baja.
