Tataviam Ceremonial Bar
From Castaic, California

Tataviam Indian artifact found during the 1970 UCLA dig at Elderberry Canyon. Today the site is underneath Castaic Lake.

On display at the Pyramid Lake Visitors Center, where the description (probably by SCV historian Jerry Reynolds) reads as follows: "Ceremonial Bar — A shaped and ground slab of schist — function unknown. It may have served as a grave marker."
