AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF A CHARCOAL SAMPLE FROM A SHELL MIDDEN AT SITE DcRu-63, VANCOUVER ISLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman.

Charcoal recovered from an intact midden deposit at site DcRu-63 on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Site DcRu-63 is a large shell midden occupation site. AMS radiocarbon dating was undertaken because the age of the site is currently unknown.


AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF BONE SAMPLES FROM SITES HdSd-70 AND HdSd-370, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Linda Scott Cummings.

Bone fragments collected from sites HdSd-70 and HdSd-370 were recovered during the Williston Reservoir Archaeology Project - 1301, British Columbia, Canada. Sites HdSd-70 and HdSd-370 are in close proximity to one another along an old river channel in the semi-eroded reservoir drawdown zone. The bone at these sites consisted of isolated and restricted surface and subsurface scatters at the edge of the channel. Dates from these samples are expected to fall in the mid- to late-Holocene.

AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SHELL SAMPLES FROM SITE DfRw-13, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter Kovacik. Linda Scott Cummings.

Site DfRw-13 consists of intact and disturbed shell midden deposits extending across the upper terrace of the Ladysmith town sewage treatment plant, British Columbia. Deposits at the site have been reported of low archaeological significance (Park 2004), and plans to construct a secondary sewage treatment system will clear and level the only remaining terrace with the site. AMS radiocarbon dates on three shell samples collected from DfRw-13 will provide temporal data for the site.

"As one looks at the stone the questions arise": Nativism, Mythologized Histories, and the Conservation of Cultural Heritage in British Columbia (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephanie J Halmhofer.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "What We Make of the West: Historical Archaeologists Versus Frontier Mythologies", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This presentation will shed light on the Native Sons of British Columbia (NSoBC), an influential 20th century fraternal nativist organization in British Columbia (BC) who in 1925 successfully lobbied for the creation of BC’s Historic Objects Act, the first broad heritage protection legislation in...


IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF A WOOD SAMPLE FROM SITE HfSf-8, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter Kovacik. Linda Scott Cummings.

Site HfSf-8 occupies select beaches that are part of the draw down zone of Williston Lake Reservoir, which lies within the Rocky Mountain Trench. Although the site contains artifacts lying on fluvial silts and clays that underlie a stratified peat bog, they were deposited in this location as the result of erosion. The interface between the bog and fluvial terrace contained a stump with roots. A single wood sample from this stump was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. It is...
