In honor of
California Archaeology Month
, we spotlight here
Tomo-Kahni
(Winter Village in the Kawaiisu language), a late prehistoric/protohistoric site affiliated with the
Kawaiisu
and located in the southern Sierra Nevada near Tehachapi, California. A number of features have been recorded at the site, including bedrock mortars, milling slicks, rock art panels on boulders and in shelters and caves, and concentrated deposits of artifacts. Tomo-Kahni represents an important period in the history of California’s Native American population, and is one of the principal areas of occupation of the Kawaiisu, reaching back more than 2,000 years. Today, the site is protected as part of
Tomo-Kahni State Historic Park
. Due to the sensitive nature of the site’s many features and artifacts, and its cultural and spiritual importance to the Kawaiisu, Tomo-Kahni is accessible by guided tours only. Tomo-Kahni is designated as California Historical Landmark No. 1054.
