		SFU Department of Archaeology ^Votes:0 Toquaht Archaeological Project The Toquaht are a Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation whose traditional territories encompass western Barkley Sound, near Ucluelet, B.C. Interest in recovering and managing heritage resources led to collaborative research, the Toquaht Archaeological Project, with fieldwork between 1991 and 1996. All work was co-directed by Alan McMillan (Douglas College and Simon Fraser University) and Denis St. Claire (Coast Heritage Consultants). Fieldwork included detailed inventory of all heritage sites in traditional Toquaht territory, excavation at five former village sites, and work with Toquaht elders to record surviving traditions of site use. Over 50 sites have been recorded in Toquaht territory, including village sites, defensive locations, stone fish traps, and a red ochr Read More Go to Site

		SFU Department of Archaeology ^Votes:0 Tseshaht Archaeological Project This archaeological research project in the Broken Group Islands of Barkley Sound, western Vancouver Island, is jointly sponsored by the Tseshaht First Nation and Parks Canada. These islands, now within Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, are the traditional homeland of the Tseshaht, a Nuu-chah-nulth group now resident at Port Alberni, B.C. Fieldwork in 1999, 2000 and 2001 focused on Benson Island, one of the outer Broken Group, where the ancient village of Ts'ishaa once stood. Tseshaht oral histories identify this as their origin place, where First Man and First Woman were created. Later accounts, told by Tseshaht elders to the anthropologist Edward Sapir early in this century, identify the social groups that once lived at this site and tell of large plank h Read More Go to Site

Confronting Chaos: Deciphering Activity Areas on a Multi-component Interior Plateau Site. by Anouk Tryon No matter how neat our site maps, no matter how sensible our tables, histograms, and photographs appear, things are usually more complicated than we generally like to admit. This is something we have learned to expect of contemporary human society; it is also often the case with the archaeological record. One example of this is evident at a multi-component site in south central British Columbia excavated by the annual SFU-SEI Field School in Kamloops (Nicholas, 1997). Since 1991, the research orientation of the annual field school had been on long-term land use patterns, with site survey and excavation focused on the terraces above the South Thompson Read More Go to Site
