Book Description

Excerpt from University of California Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology, Vol. 12: February 24, 1916, to July 11, 1917 The next species to be considered in connection with the matter of environment is the tiny Phytic myosotis. Its distribution in certain of the San Francisco Bay mounds is indicated by crosses in table 1 Like the last species, it also lives in salt marshes. Where it occurs on the underside of driftwood which has lain in the marsh for a considerable time. Briefly then, the presence of Phylia myosotis in a mound indicates that there must have been salt marsh close by; which, further more, supplied the inhabitants with some of their firewood. An examination of table 12 shows therefore that salt marsh existed in the vicinity of some of the mounds throughout the period of their growth.
