What kind of tools did the Chumash?

The Chumash people used a variety of tools made primarily from natural materials. They crafted stone tools such as chipped flint for cutting and scraping, as well as grinding stones for processing seeds and nuts. Additionally, they created wooden tools like fish hooks, paddles, and baskets, utilizing their surroundings effectively for fishing, hunting, and gathering. The Chumash also developed sophisticated plank canoes (tomols) for transportation and fishing along the coastal waters of California.
