Using XRF Core Scanning to Investigate the Boundaries and Internal Structure of a Wendat Village
We report on the initial application of an Itrax x-ray fluorescence core scanner (XRF-CS) to delineate the boundary of archaeologically detectable activities and the internal structure of the site Ahatsistari (BeGx-76), a 17th century a.d. Wendat village located on the Penetang Peninsula, Ontario, Canada. Chemical analysis of samples from 418 distinct unexcavated locations showed that notable variations in phosphorus (P) concentration align with …
Minimally Invasive High-Resolution Investigation of Site Form and Disturbance at Rat Island (AhGx-7), Cootes Paradise, Ontario
This paper presents a reinvestigation of archaeological material at Rat Island (AhGx-7), a proposed Princess Point period site in Cootes Paradise, Ontario, Canada. Applying a minimally invasive coring and augering strategy paired with soil properties and high-resolution multi-element chemical evaluation, we established that a low rise on the landscape, previously attributed to Princess Point or Woodland period occupation, is instead associated wi…
Determining seasonality of mussel collection from an early historic Inuit site, Labrador, Canada
Phosphate as an indicator of occupational intensity at shell midden sites on the central coast of British Columbia
Consistency and Variation in the Focus, Intensity and Archaeological Histories of Lapita and post-Lapita Fisheries in Ha’apai, Kingdom of Tonga
We present the results of an analysis of fish bones recovered from five sites in the Ha’apai group of islands in central Tonga. The sites, first occupied in the initial Lapita phase (ca. 2770-2700 cal BP), with continuous settlement into the present, occur in similar geographic contexts. Recovery and analysis was also consistent for all assemblages. Observed variability between sites and over time therefore emphasizes the complexity of Pacific Is…
Reconciling oxygen isotope sclerochronology with interpretations of millennia of seasonal shellfish collection on the Pacific Northwest Coast
Infant Death and the Archaeology of Grief
To build a theoretical and empirical foundation for interpretation of the absence, segregation or simplicity of infant burials in archaeological contexts, we review social theories of emotion, inter-disciplinary views on the relationship between mortality rates and emotional investment, and archaeological interpretations of infant burial patterns. The results indicate a lack of explicit theory in most archaeological accounts and a general lack of…
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…
Elemental Analysis of Ochre Outcrops in Southern British Columbia, Canada
Ochre is a red mineral pigment that was a key element of social and ceremonial practices among cultures of the P acific N orthwest C oast. It is recovered routinely from archaeological excavations, is visible as pigment for pictographs, and is described in the historical record as a trade item and component of ceremonial practices. Despite its ubiquity in the archaeological record, it is difficult to interpret its significance without first under…
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
Addressing seasonal site use through ancient DNA species identification of Pacific salmon at Dionisio Point, Galiano Island, British Columbia
Geochemical characterization of ochre from central coastal British Columbia, Canada
Pushing Limits and Finding Interpretive Balance
We reiterate the basis for our interpretation of the Namu site as a winter-village settlement from at least 7000 B.P., and note that Monks and Orchard do not provide an alternative interpretation of the available data. They also mistakenly suggest an assertion on our part that all Northwest Coast villages were dependent on a salmon-based storage economy by 1000 B.P. We never argued for this point. Finally, Monks and Orchard offer a lengthy defens…
Clam growth-stage profiles as a measure of harvest intensity and resource management on the central coast of British Columbia
Early Storage and Sedentism on the Pacific Northwest Coast
Ancient DNA identification of salmon remains from the site of Namu on the central coast of British Columbia shows use of a variety of species and an emphasis on pink salmon over the course of the past 7,000 years. These results support arguments that Namu was a permanent village settlement dependent on a salmon storage economy throughout this time. This pattern of subsistence and settlement predates by several millennia the first substantial evid…

Chapter 12. Spatial Narratives of Death, Memory, and Transcendence
Analysis of the spatial and historical dimensions of mortuary expressions, and explicit recognition of their basis in personal, social, and symbolic memory, are the foundations of an emerging approach to the archaeology of death. Spatial representations of death are viewed in this perspective as elements in the ritual creation and maintenance of personal and social memories of the dead to serve the needs and interests of the living. Examination o…
Assessing Variability in Northwest Coast Salmon and Herring Fisheries
Settlement and Sea-Levels on the Central Coast of British Columbia
Coring of shell-midden sites provides a regional chronology of site settlement in the Namu vicinity on the central coast of British Columbia. Coring proved an accurate and cost-effective alternative to traditional test-excavation, and its application in only two short field seasons doubled the number of sites tested in this region. The dating of basal cultural deposits from the cores shows initial occupation of sites ranging from 10,000 to 800 B.…
Marine-based Subsistence Trends and the Stable Isotope Analysis of Dog Bones from Namu, British Columbia
The Historical Dimension in Mortuary Expressions of Status and Sentiment [and Comments and Reply]
Radiographic Age Determination of Pacific Salmon
Radiographs are used to age archaeologically-recovered vertebrae of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus sp.). In application, the method provides an explanation for observed size variability in vertebrae from the site of Namu, on the central coast of British Columbia. The results also provide a means for assessing the species and seasonality of the Namu salmon fishery and demonstrate a consistency in fishing patterns during 4000 years of site occupation

The Quantification of Artifactual Assemblages
It is argued that the reliability of archaeological inferences based upon artifactual assemblages is in part a function of the methods used to quantify the assemblages. Using ethnoarchaeological data, this proposition is tested by comparing associated artifactual assemblages with the presence or absence of specialists in individual households. Assemblages are quantified in terms of absolute frequency, diversity, and proportional frequency. The co…
