  • Investigation of Seasonal Settlement and Clam Harvest Pressure in the Sechelt Inlet System, British Columbia, Canada, Through Sclerochronology and Stable Oxygen Isotope Analyses

    Natasha Leclerc, Meghan Burchell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2023Cited by: 2References: 6

    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 (…

  • A Wealth of Beads

    Open AccessGary Coupland, David Bilton et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2016Cited by: 16References: 40

Several sites are reported here, including burials recently excavated from site DjRw-14 located in the territory of the shíshálh Nation. We argue that the disc beads constituted an…

  • Hierarchy, Communalism, and the Spatial Order of Northwest Coast Plank Houses

    Open AccessGary Coupland, Terence Clark et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2009Cited by: 14References: 36

    The tension between hierarchy and communalism is a prominent feature of social life in transegalitarian societies. How are hierarchy and communalism combined in these societies? How are they materialized in everyday life? In this paper, we examine the relationship between hierarchy and communalism in the transegalitarian societies of the Northwest Coast of North America. We focus on households, the primary socioeconomic units of the culture area,…

    Gary CouplandBOOKPrehistoric Cultural Change at…1988

    This study investigates the prehistoric transition from egalitarian to ranked social structure at Kitselas Canyon, Skeena River, British Columbia. It contributes to archaeological theory by developing and testing a model of the evolution of cultural complexity. A culture historical contribution is also made in the development of a prehistoric local sequence for Kitselas Canyon. The theoretical model argues that cultural change at Kitselas Canyon …
