SANTA BARBARA, Calif.—Archaeologists digging in a garden at the Santa Barbara Mission may have unearthed the complete stone foundation of a Chumash house. The dig is expected to be completed Wednesday under the watchful eyes of American Indian representatives.

The foundation of the home is believed to be part of what's left of a Chumash village at the site, which is at the northeastern edge of an Indian pueblo at the mission.

Much of the village remains were destroyed over the years. In one instance, portions were graded to make way for a parking lot in the 1950s and 1960s.

Interesting stuff, thanks for posting.

Thanks for the ping.

The original Santa Barbara Newspress article is subscription, so we can't get any more information. But this could be an exciting find.
