Investigation of Seasonal Settlement and Clam Harvest Pressure in the Sechelt Inlet System, British Columbia, Canada, Through Sclerochronology and Stable Oxygen Isotope Analyses
The Sechelt inlet system (SIS), situated on the inner Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, lies within the territory of the shíshálh Nation. This study focuses on ∼1000 years of shíshálh shellfish harvesting from 930-0 cal. BP. Specifically, we investigated the seasonal timing of shellfish collection, relative shellfish harvesting pressure and paleo-temperature reconstruction at four archaeological sites. Thirty archaeological butter clam shells (…
Chronology of the Archaeological Site of Playa Del Mango, Rio Cauto, Granma, Cuba
Fewer than 200 radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates with secure contextual information are available for Cuba, making it challenging to reconstruct Caribbean indigenous population dynamics, their identities and interactions. In this paper, we discussed 21 accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 C dates from two mounds (M1 and M2) at the Playa del Mango site (Granma province, Cuba), traditionally associated with the Banwaroid stone tool tradition. The ΔR calc…
Determining seasonality of mussel collection from an early historic Inuit site, Labrador, Canada
Reconciling oxygen isotope sclerochronology with interpretations of millennia of seasonal shellfish collection on the Pacific Northwest Coast
An Economic History of the Maritime Woodland Period in Port Joli Harbour, Nova Scotia
Five seasons of survey and excavation in Port Joli Harbour, NS, Canada, have resulted in a high-resolution archaeofaunal sample from 2 contrasting shell-bearing sites: AlDf-24, and AlDf-30 (Jack's Brook). In this paper, we discuss the evidence for differences in mollusk-, fish-, and mammal-harvesting strategies between contemporaneously occupied sites. Furthermore, we highlight shifts in Mi'kmaw exploitation of coastal resources around the Middle…
Isotopic studies of the diet of the people of the coast of B ritish C olumbia
In 1982, Chisholm et al. used δ 13 C data for human burials from shell midden sites widely distributed on the coast of British Columbia (BC) to show the extreme dependence of these individuals on high trophic level marine consumers, principally salmon and marine mammals. Here, we present previously unpublished analyses of δ 15 N for some of the same individuals as well as δ 13 C data for additional individuals. Nitrogen isotope data show that the…
Seasonality and Intensity of Shellfish Harvesting on the North Coast of British Columbia
Biogeochemical and growth increment analyses show contrasting seasonal patterns of butter clam collection and rates of harvest intensity between archaeological shell midden sites from the Dundas Islands archipelago and the mainland coast in Prince Rupert Harbour, northern British Columbia. Growth increment analysis shows more intensive clam harvest in the Dundas Islands in comparison to the residential sites in Prince Rupert Harbour. Stable oxyge…
Refining Estimates for the Season of Shellfish Collection on the Pacific Northwest Coast
Stable oxygen isotopes from estuarine bivalve carbonate from Saxidomus gigantea were analysed combined with high‐resolution sclerochronology from modern and archaeological shells from British Columbia, Canada, to determine the seasonality of shellfish collection from the archaeological site of Namu. The combination of high‐resolution sclerochronology and a micro‐milled sampling strategy for δ 18 O analysis permits a precise estimate of archaeolog…
Inter-site variability in the season of shellfish collection on the central coast of British Columbia
High-resolution sclerochronological analysis of the bivalve mollusk Saxidomus gigantea from Alaska and British Columbia
Mapping of subsurface shell midden components through percussion coring
Clam growth-stage profiles as a measure of harvest intensity and resource management on the central coast of British Columbia
