THE eALASTERKEY 185 Be SORIGINAL TRADE BETWEEN THE SOUTHWEST AND CALIFORNIA By Rosert F. HEIzer HERE has been a notable revival of interest in the subject of aboriginal commercial relations between the Indians of the Southwest and California. Among the contributions which have recently appeared are those by M. J. Farmer,’ D. D. _ Brand,” H. S. Colton,® C. Malouf, and M. J. Rogers.® Each of these papers approaches the problem from a_ special point of view, and each author makes recommendations for more careful recording and presentation of material by future workers. Brand makes a plea for more accurate nomenclature of species of shells found on archeologic sites, and has been further instrumental in making available a list of authorities who will perform services of identification.® Rogers has presented what we might call the necessary historical background -and ethnic situation for California in which this commodity interchange was operative. His paper offers few actual data Colton has cited evidence of intrusive trade cbjects, as well as the historical background for the Southwestern area. Although Malouf’s paper is primarily con‘cerned with trade within the Northern Periphery of the ~ Southwest, his request that authors be more careful in mineralogical identification of artifact materials is directed at all workers: in all areas. What has been written on this subject seems to be primarily _ aimed at demonstrating the fact of trade relations, and secondarily, at determining the routes of introduction. It seems to me that one of the most valuable results of these studies has been completely neglected: the possibility of extending the unique chronology of the Southwest into outside areas where exact dating is impossible to determine.
