- - Recent research over the last decade has revealed important insights into how early peoples in the Americas might have relied on coastal resources, particularly those living during the terminal Pleistocene on the Pacific Coast.
- - The archaeological site CA-SRI-26 on Santa Rosa Island, dating back around 11,700 years, has provided valuable artifacts and evidence of early Paleoindian technologies and diets, despite some of it being eroded away.
