All these beads/points were found in 1959 by Herbert Comomache of Roseville, California on private land near the site of a former village named Liwaito along Putah Creek in Yolo County, California. The beads/points are attributed to the Patwin Tribe, a branch of the Wintun Tribe that intermarried with the Yokuts and Miwok Tribes.
The necklaces were put together by Daryl Baker, well-known former Oregon Archeological Society member; the necklaces and points were in his collection for over 50 years.
All artifacts I sell on Ebay were collected on private land and in full concurrence with all then applicable Federal and State laws.
