Dear Ruby, Here are some additional publications that discuss Chumash swordfish hunting. These studies are based primarily on archaeological data. Bernard, J. 2004 Status and the Swordfish: The Origins of Large-Species Fishing among the Chumash. In Foundations of Chumash Complexity, edited by J. E. Arnold. Perspectives in California Archaeology, Volume 7. Cotsen Institute of ARchaeology, University of California, Los Angeles. Hildebrandt, W. R., and K. R. McGuire 2001. Ascendance of Hunting during the California Middle Archaic: An Evolutionary Perspective. American Antiquity 67(2):231-256. Noah, A. C. 2003. Status and Fish Consumption: Inter-household Variability in a Simple Chiefdom Society on the California Coast. Presencia de la Arqueoichtiología en México, edited by Anna Fabiola Guzmán, Óscar J. Polaco, and Felisa J. Aguilar. Libro de Memorias de la 12a Reunión del Grupo de Trabajo en Restos de Peces del Consejo Internacional para la Arqueozoología, Guajalajara, Jalisco, México, September 4-12, 2003. Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia and Museo de Paleontología de Guadalajara Federico A. Solórzano Barreto. My dissertation discusses swordfish hunting in much greater detail than what I presented at the ICAZ Fish Remains Working Group meeting in Guadalajara. (It should be completed in the next couple months.)
