In excavating the pre-historic Indian burial ground located at the mouth of Carpinteria Creek, near Carpinteria, Los Angeles, archteologists recently unearthed a small soapstone or steatite fish-hook, and a fragment ,of another. This is, according to a recent Smithsonian Institution report, the only example of a stone fish-hook ever found in California. The typical fish-hook of the Santa Barbara coast tribes is made in a single piece from the shell of either the black or red abalone. A composite fish-hook made of two shaped pieces of bone, held together by asphaltum and binding, is also found in the California cultures. The fish-hook itself is about an inch and a half in length by three-quarters of an inch at its widest point.
