BOLA cave burial article
Looks like this was published in 2009, but I haven't seen it before.
When you open the site, click on "read e-book for free". Very interesting. Many artifacts found, and suggestion that some were from trading with
mainland Mexico - abalone decorative shell, and cotton fabric. Also found were hair nets for women, human hair robes, darts with stink ray barbs. A
lot of insight to their way of life.

The author is William Massey, and if you search Massey on Nomad you will find links and see what two Baja Nomads once lived with Bill Massey! Thanks
for posting the link Wilderone.
edit... WillardGuy posted the link last year, I think...

A Proposed Example of Sacred Geography and Sociospatial Occupation in Prehistoric Central Baja California - Eric W. Ritter, Bureau of Land
Management/Shasta College
Archaeological research at Cerro El Almacén in Bahía de los Ángeles in Baja California has revealed a diverse suite of likely late prehistoric
(Comondú period) remains. These sites and features appear to reflect a landscape-based fusion of activities and their resultant cultural vestiges
derived from both day to-day and side-by-side domestic actions and apparent sacred/spiritual pursuits.

Informative article about those sites near BOLA. The coast there - immediately south of old Camp Gecko and south to the cove beach - are littered
with midden and tools. Also, I saw those same rock cairns and circular rock formations at the La Bocana (west of Catavina) archaeological site.
Ritter's theories about the purpose or reasoning for them makes you wonder.
