Abstract

In February 2015, a cache cave was discovered in the remote backcountry of Santa Barbara County. An investigation of the cache was carried out by the authors. Three baskets, a cave stick, and cordage were identified from the cache, which was mapped using 3D scanning and photogrammetry. A decorated storage basket appears to be the largest known from the Chumash area. The implications of this cache, and its relationship to other nearby caches and rock art sites, are discussed.
