Ceremonial Bird Burials in San Francisco Bay Shellmounds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
Burials of condors at two central California coastal sites extend the area of this trait, previously known from burials further south and inland. It was probably a ritual practice from Early horizon times (about 2000 B.C.) onward. Possible connections with bird burial in the Southwest deserve study.
