The '''Post Pattern''' refers to a [[Paleo-Indian]] [[archaeological culture]] of [[Artifact (archaeology)|artifacts]] found in northwest [[California]] dating between 9,000-13,000 years ago. Excavation sites are around [[Clear Lake (California)|Clear Lake]] and [[Borax Lake]]. The Post Pattern is a local manifestation of the [[Western Pluvial Lakes Tradition]].

It is believed that Post Pattern peoples were a pre-[[Hokan]] group. The entrance of peoples speaking (hypothetical) Hokan languages dates from about 6,000-8,000 years ago in what is known as the [[Lower Archaic Period]]. The Post Pattern is associated with the [[Yuki-Wappo]] family.

The pattern is named after Chester C. Post who in 1938 introduced it to the archaeological world.
