Abstract
This Comment responds to Joseph L. Chartkoff's 1983 article, "A Rock Feature Complex from Northwestern California" (American Antiquity 48:745-760). Chartkoff describes two sorts of rock enclosures, identifying them both by a single Yurok-English name. The Comment points out there are at least two distinct words for such enclosures in the Yurok language, and that this linguistic evidence supports Chartkoff's hypothesis that the two sorts of rock features may be historically or ethnographically distinct.
