On the Northwest Coast many artifacts carved, pecked, ground and incised are known, but few are well reported or are found in clear in situ contexts. This article concerns the chance discovery in 2012 of an in situ stone bowl along the Squamish River southwestern British Columbia, Canada. Excavation and analysis dated a stone bowl and other artifacts to 1415–1554calBP. We present a combination of archaeological and cultural data in this study to speculate that the bowl was used in a First Salmon ceremony. Globally the ethnographically recorded indigenous peoples of the Northwest Coast stand as renown cultures for their monumental wood working sculptures that include intricate bent wood boxes, complex grave markers, giant totem poles, multifaceted house designs, ocean going dugout canoes, tall interior house posts and many other items (Holm 1990:602–632). Collectively these impressive creations depict family crests, resource and territorial ownership and ancestral rights to a wide range of songs, dances and other customs (Carlson 1983, 1999:39–46; Holm 1990:602–632). Despairingly little of these massive works preserves in the archaeological record of the region. This leaves archaeologists with seemingly smaller and less impressive remnants of these traditions to interpret the past. One-way archaeologists can interpret the origin and development of this incredible and ancient art tradition is through the unique artifacts that do preserve in the archaeological record, notably the portable artistic pieces that are manufactured from stone. In the Salish Sea region of the southern Northwest Coast, ancient artistic items appear approximately by 4500BP and demonstrate Coast Salish stylistic attributes. By 3500BP, 14 artistic objects are known to occur in the Locarno Beach phase and by 2500BP a large increase is noted (albeit Coast wide) to 108 objects, with 48 of those coming from the famous Marpole site (Ames and Maschner 1999:219–248). In this research we describe a new stone bowl discovery in the Salish Sea and relate it to local and regional contexts. We assert that archaeological and Indigenous perspectives can offer 2 similar and new insights that are complementary and enhance our understanding on the role of these implements (Watkins 2011:46–62). For example, archaeologists can come to understand these items in what they view as being depicted on an item and classify it as anthropomorphic, zoomorphic and other forms that fit into an archaeological worldview (Carlson 1999:39–46). Over fifty years ago Wilson Duff wrote that, “we have almost no information regarding detailed and exact provenience and association of stone bowls” (Duff 1950, 1956:15–151). Archaeologically this situation still partly applies today. We now know that many stone bowls associate with archaeologically recorded village sites or along salmon bearing rivers, while others in remote and isolated places (Hannah 1996:36–38). Nevertheless, most suffer from poor stratigraphic and exact temporal associations (directly associated 14C dates) since they are not well documented finds or occur in locations not well suited to standard archaeological inquiry (Hannah 1996:35–36; Keddie 2003:174). Another way to understand these "pieces of the past" is to closely examine and consider the values of their local cultures and living traditions. We present both an archaeological view of this find in combination with a Squamish Nation cultural perspective. This is a clear way to increase the archaeological interpretive resolution of stone bowls and other unique items on the Northwest Coast and elsewhere. By doing so with the find of this bowl we can gain a clearer understanding of the Indigenous cultural knowledge and the archaeological perspectives of landscape and how “pieces of those places” fit into the broader record (Bradley 2000). These synergies between cultural and scientific perspectives allow for a holistic use and understanding of multiple lines of data, offering insights about stone bowls that may not have been considered before (Atalay 2006:280–301; Colwell-Chanthaphonh et al. 2010:228–238; Nicholas and Andrews 1997; Watkins 2001, 2011:46–62). We present a systematic path of the various lines

    North Vancouver MUSEUM & ARCHIVES SCHOOL PROGRAMS 2018/19 Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’s Package Grade 3 - 5 [SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT] Introduction SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT features 12 archival photographs selected from the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw: The Squamish Community: Our People and Places exhibit presented at the North Vancouver Museum & Archives in 2010. This exhibit was a collaborative project undertaken by the North Vancouver Museum & Archives and the Squamish Nation. These archival images were selected by the Squamish Elders and Language Authority to represent local landscapes, the community and the individual people within the Squamish Nation. The Squamish Elders and Language Authority also contributed to the exhibit labels which are included on the reverse of each picture. This Kit has been designed to complement BC’s Social Studies curriculum for grades 3 - 5, giving students the opportunity to explore themes related to First Nations cultures in the past and cultural First Nations activities today. Included within this Kit is a detailed teacher’s package that provides instructors with lesson plan activities that guide students in the analysis of archival photographs. The recommended activities encourage skills such as critical thinking and cooperative learning. Altogether, the lesson plan activities are estimated to take 1 hour and 45 minutes and can easily be stretched across several instructional days. Through photo analysis worksheets and activities, students will be introduced to the Squamish Nation and historical photographs. Teachers are encouraged to read through the program and adapt it to meet the learning abilities and individual needs of their students.

  • Cultural Resources Assessment for the Mount Vernon Downtown Flood Protection Project Mount Vernon, Skagit County, Washington
    CULTURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT FOR THE MOUNT VERNON DOWNTOWN FLOOD PROTECTION PROJECT MOUNT VERNON, SKAGIT COUNTY, WASHINGTON BY MARGARET BERGER AND SUSAN MEDVILLE GLENN D. HARTMANN, PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR PREPARED FOR: PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL ENGINEERING PO BOX 1599 EDMONDS, WA 98020 TECHNICAL REPORT #342 CRC PROJECT #0711I CULTURAL RESOURCE CONSULTANTS, INC. 8001 DAY ROAD WEST, SUITE B BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA 98110 FEBRUARY 28, 2008 Executive Summary This report describes a cultural resources assessment for the Mount Vernon Downtown Flood Protection Project, in Mount Vernon, Skagit County, Washington. This assessment was conducted at the request of the City of Mount Vernon. This report is intended to serve as a component of preconstruction environmental review in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended. The project consists of modifications to the existing flood protection system. Project plans include raising the existing earthen levee, installing new levee and floodwall segments in some locations, and a new ring dike around the Mount Vernon Wastewater Treatment Plant. To accommodate levee improvements, seven downtown commercial buildings and a residence will be razed. Assessment methods included a review of relevant background literature and maps, archaeological field reconnaissance survey and testing, and a historic building survey. There are no archaeological sites recorded within the project. Archaeological testing conducted using a backhoe revealed thick alluvial deposits overlain, in places, by fill. No indications of buried archaeological sites were observed, and the project is considered to have a low potential to affect as-yet unknown cultural resources. No further archaeological investigations are recommended prior to commencement of the project.

PUB TYPE Journal Articles (080) Reports Research (143) JOURNAL CIT Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics; v22 n2 p1-10 1997 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *American Indian Languages; Contrastive Linguistics; Language Patterns; *Language Research; Language Variation; *Linguistic Theory; Number Systems; *Salish; *Structural Analysis (Linguistics); Uncommonly Taught Languages ABSTRACT A salient characteristic of the morpho-lexical systems of the Salish languages is the widespread use of reduplication in both derivational and inflectional functions. Salish reduplication signals such typologically common categories as "distributive/plural," "repetitive/continuative," and "diminutive," the cross-linguistically marked but typically Salish notion of "out-of-control" or more restricted categories in particular Salish languages. In addition to these functions, reduplication also plays a role in numeral systems of the Salish languages. The basic forms of several numerals appear to be reduplicated throughout the Salish family. In addition, correspondences among the various Interior Salish languages suggest the association of certain reduplicative patterns with particular "counting forms" referring to specific nominal categories. While developments in the other Salish language are frequently more idiosyncratic and complex, comparative evidence suggests that the

  • Chapter Two: the Background on Skwxwú7mesh
    Chapter Two: The Background on Skwxwú7mesh 1 Introduction The purpose of this thesis is to explore the semantics of Skwxwú7mesh D-determiners, and to compare them to English D-determiners. 1 In this chapter I provide some background to facilitate understanding of the proposals made in the next few chapters. In particular, I give an overview of the syntax and morphology of Skwxwú7mesh as these topics are necessary for understanding the data and analysis provided later in the thesis. I begin with the language family. Skwxwú7mesh is a Central (or Coast) Salish language spoken in southwestern British Columbia. The list of Salish languages is given in Table 2.1 below. Languages marked with * are extinct. 1 Recall that this term does not include quantifiers, numerals or demonstratives. 13 Branch Language Dialects Nuxalk (Bella Coola) Central Salish Comox Sliammon, Klahoose, Homalko, Island Comox Pentlatch* Sechelt Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Halkomelem Chilliwack/Upriver Halkomelem, Musqueam, Nanaimo/Cowichan Nooksack* Northern Straits Semiahmoo, Saanich, Lummi, Songish, Samish, Sooke Klallam Lushootseed Northern, Southern Twana* Tillamook* Tsamosan Upper Chehalis Satsop, Oakville, Tenino Cowlitz* Lower Chehalis Quinault* Interior Northern St’át’imcets (Lillooet) Mount Currie/Lower Lillooet, Fountain/Upper Lillooet N®e÷kepmxcín (Thompson) Secwepemctsín (Shuswap) Eastern, Western Southern Okanagan Northern, Southern/Colville Moses-Columbian Kalispel Spokane, Kalispel, Flathead Coeur d’Alene Table 2.1: The Salish language family (adapted from Thompson and Kinkade 1990: 34-35) The D-determiner systems of some of these languages will be addressed in Chapter 6.
