The Material Culture of the Chumash Interaction Sphere. Volume IV: Ceremonial Paraphernalia, Games, and Amusements

Contains a general description of ceremonial painting. The Chumash painted grave markers, canoes, bowls, and other wooden objects. Ritual connected with the winter solstice seems to have been the purpose for painting rock art. A tradition of ground painting also existed although there are no surviving examples for obvious reasons. Gives examples of movable painted rocks and pebbles.
