Anacapa Island Archeological District


The Anacapa Island Archeological District, on Anacapa Island near Port Hueneme, California, is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It included 26 separate contributing sites, where there was a village site, an animal facility, a manufacturing facility, or other evidence having potential to yield information in the future.
Anacapa Island has a history of human occupation by the Chumash people, who "camped on the islands thousands of years ago"; shell middens make up part of the evidence of them.
