Albright Department of Archaeology Simon Fraser University Burnaby, British Columbia Publication Number 15 1984 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report was originally written as a graduate thesis in the Archaeology Department at Simon Fraser University. Knut Fladmark, Brian Hayden, and Mark Skinner, members of my advisory committee, are thanked for their encouragement, direction, and criticism while conducting research and writing of this report. Monica Deutsch is acknowledged for her typing of the original manu­ script, as is Brenda Peacock for help with drawing of maps and figures. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Tahltan people and other residents of the Stikine River area; without their support this research would not have been possible. A special note of thanks is extended to Dora Williams and Fannie Woods who first invited me to share in their daily lives and activities and challenged me to learn more about their traditional ways. My thanks go also to Ivan Quock, chief of the Tahltan Band, for encouraging me to develop a program to involve the local young people in understanding their cultural traditions. John Frank is thanked for his enthusiasm and assistance in supervising these summer projects. Financial assistance for research was provided by the B.C. Heritage Conservation Branch, a grad­ uate student stipend from Simon Fraser University and grants from B.C. Youth Employment Program administered by Simon Fraser University, and the Federal Summer Student Employment Program. My grateful appreciation is extended to friends and relatives who provided moral support and en­ couragement in bringing this report to completion.

It represents an attempt to environment of groups living in these areas. apply a relatively new approach, This means that opportunities for ethnoarchaeology, to British Columbia ethnographic recording of traditional aspects archaeology in order to understand the of native culture are quickly being eroded nature of past cultural adaptation in a away. This situation is not restricted to northern sub-arctic environment. British Columbia and has been recognised The goals of the present research are by the National Museum of Man through based on the premise that an understanding the implementation of an Urgent Ethnology of the dynamics of prehistoric subsistence Program for research in many parts of behavior and site formation processes is Canada. Two research contracts have been crucial for full interpretation of granted for work in the Stikine area of archaeological remains of an area. Thus, British Columbia; one to Robert Adlam, of the major goal of this research was to the University of Toronto, for a study of establish a model of traditional subsistence Tahltan kinship systems, the second to patterns of the Tahltan Indians useful for Howard Higgins, of the University of New interpretation of archaeological sites in the Mexico, who is concerned with symbolic Upper Stikine River area of northern aspects of Tahltan use of space.

Recently H. S. Bostock, of the Geological Survey of Canada, studied the physiography of the northern Cordilleran region; his report and maps are published CI I c Fig. 1. Rglief map of British Columbia. in Memoir 247 of the Geological Survey, Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa. The divisions shown on the accompanying sketch, Figure 2, and the nomenclature used in the text are those proposed by Bostock. Most of the Province of British Columbia lies within the region of mountains and plateaus, the Cordillera of Western Canada, that forms the western border of the North American Continent. The extreme northeastern comer of the Province, lying east of the Cordillera, is part of the Great Plains region. The Rocky Mountain Area extends along the eastern boundary of the Province for a distance of 400 miles, and continues northwestward for an additional 500 miles entirely within the Province. The high, rugged Rocky Mountains, averaging about 50 miles in width, are flanked on the west by a remarkably long and straight valley, known as the Rocky Mountain Trench, and occupied from south to north by the Kootenay, Columbia, Canoe, Fraser, Parsnip, Finlay, Fox, and Kechika Rivers. Of these, the first four flow into the Pacific Ocean and the second four join the Mackenzie River to flow ultimately into the Arctic Ocean.

  • Holocene Tephras in Lake Cores from Northern British Columbia, Canada
    935 Holocene tephras in lake cores from northern British Columbia, Canada Thomas R. Lakeman, John J. Clague, Brian Menounos, Gerald D. Osborn, Britta J.L. Jensen, and Duane G. Froese Abstract: Sediment cores recovered from alpine and subalpine lakes up to 250 km apart in northern British Columbia con- tain five previously unrecognized tephras. Two black phonolitic tephras, each 5–10 mm thick, occur within 2–4 cm of each other in basal sediments from seven lakes in the Finlay River – Dease Lake area. The upper and lower Finlay tephras are slightly older than 10 220 – 10 560 cal year B.P. and likely originate from two closely spaced eruptions of one or two large volcanoes in the northern Cordilleran volcanic province. The Finlay tephras occur at the transition between deglacial sediments and organic-rich postglacial mud in the lake cores and, therefore, closely delimit the termination of the Fraser Glaciation in northern British Columbia. Sediments in Bob Quinn Lake, which lies on the east edge of the northern Coast Mountains, contain two black tephras that differ in age and composition from the Finlay tephras. The lower Bob Quinn tephra is 3–4 mm thick, basaltic in composition, and is derived from an eruption in the Iskut River volcanic field about 9400 cal years ago. The upper Bob Quinn tephra is 12 mm thick, trachytic in composition, and probably 7000–8000 cal years old. A fifth tephra occurs as a cryptotephra near the top of two cores from the Finlay River area and is correlated to the east lobe of the White River tephra (ca.

These reports are narrative outlines of how Indian and non-native populations have used these -rivers, with emphasis on navigability, tidal influence, riparian interests, settlement patterns, commercial use and fishing rights. These historical reports were requested by the Interdepartmental Reserve Boundary Review Committee, a body comprising representatives from Indian Affairs and Northern Development [DIAND], Justice, Energy, Mines and Resources [EMR], and chaired by Fisheries and Oceans. The committee is tasked with establishing a government position on reserve boundaries that can assist in determining the area of application of Indian Band fishing by-laws.

They lie within the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nations. Each of these protected areas is important in its own right, and together they protect provincial and international values for future generations. These include: Ä largely intact predator/prey ecosystems Ä provincially important populations of caribou, mountain sheep, mountain goats, grizzly bears and wolf Ä spectacular mountain, plateau, river and volcanic landscapes Ä important archaeological sites, cultural and heritage values and activities of the Tahltan First Nations Ä internationally significant wilderness recreation and tourism activities such as nature appreciation, rafting, canoeing, hiking, hunting, angling and horseback riding Planning is proposed to begin shortly and to be completed by the fall of 2001.
