content: INFORMATION FROM JAN TIMBROOK, CURATOR OF ETHNOGRAPHY, SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, 2003: BASKET APPEARS TO HAVE GRASS BUNDLE FOUNDATION AND TUCKED FAG ENDS ON SEWING-STRAND SPLICES; MAY ALSO HAVE SOME DESIGN ELEMENTS IN SUMAC, WITH A GOLDEN JUNCUS BACKGROUND, ALTHOUGH SUMAC HAS DARKENED WITH AGE AND IT'S HARD TO MAKE OUT FROM PHOTO; THESE FEATURES ARE NOT TYPICAL OF CHUMASH BASKETRY, BUT ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF S. CALIFORNIA MISSION PEOPLES TO SOUTH OF CHUMASH, ESPECIALLY LUISENO, DIEGUENO, CAHUILLA AND SOMETIMES GABRIELINO; BASKET IS MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE FROM ONE OF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MISSION GROUPS RATHER THAN CHUMASH. SEE PROCESSING LAB ACCESSION FILE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
