TITLE OF THESIS/PROJECT/EXTENDED ESSAY Investigations into the Ethnographic and Prehistoric Importance of Freshwater Shellfish on the Interior Plateau of British Columbia AUTHOR (signature) ., ., (name) (date) ABSTRACT The remains of freshwater shellfish are frequently found during archaeological investigations of prehistoric sites on the Interior Plateau of British Columbia. This thesis investigates the ethnographic accounts and the archaeological evidence that identify past Aboriginal utilization of shellfish in the Thompson River drainage of south-central British Columbia. In this study, I examine several key questions regarding past subsistence practices in the region and the role of freshwater shellfish as a food resource. For example, were molluscs only of importance as famine food, or did they play a larger or more important role in Aboriginal Plateau cultures? If so, what was this role and how is it evident in the archaeological record? Finally, to what degree have ethnographic accounts been projected into the more distant past? Teit (1 909: 5 13, 5 17), for one, has noted that among the Shuswap Indians, dogs and shellfish were eaten only in times of starvation, and that such times occurred towards the end of winter when stored supplies were sometimes depleted, and has further noted that among the Thompson Indians insects and shellfish were not eaten. Statements such as these have provided the impetus for this investigation. The results of the research on shellfish remains at archaeological sites in the Region indicate that prehistoric usage of shellfish was widespread in all areas of the Plateau. The 124 shell sites (149 site components) are identified based on their association with diagnostic artifacts andlor radiocarbon dates. Aboriginal peoples harvested shellfish from the Middle Period to the present, sometimes in substantial amounts. Shell remains are found at Middle Period (27) sites, Shuswap Horizon (35 sites, Plateau Horizon (41) sites, Kamloops Horizon (13) sites, and Historic Period (3) sites. However, it is difficult to assess the relative importance of the resource in Aboriginal diet and subsistence from the limited available data. The resource was obviously of some importance in the overall subsistence pattern. Although the research for this thesis has identified shell-bearing archaeological sites, and cultural periods during which they are found, the evidence is not sufficient to conclude that molluscs were an important food resource for Aboriginal peoples, nor does it suggest that they represented only starvation food. Seasonal availability and ethnographic accounts that link shellfishing with food scarcity may be responsible for James Teit's description of freshwater shellfish as "famine food" consumed only in the absence of all other resources. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee--Dr. George Nicholas, Dr. Catherine Carlson, and Dr. Jon Driver--for the many helpful comments and suggestions they made during the preparation of this thesis. My sincere thanks are extended to Dr. Nicholas for his guidance and encouragement throughout my graduate studies, for suggesting this topic, for encouraging my interests in the archaeology of the Plateau culture area of North America, and for editing this thesis and otherwise translating the thesis manuscript into English. My appreciation is also extended to Mike Rousseau for his assistance with the shell line drawings and for the shell photography in Figures 2 and 3 of this thesis. The development of this thesis would not have been possible without information from many individuals. I am indebted to Dr. William Belcher, Dr. Cheryl Claasen, Dr. Jon Erlandson, Dr. Paul Parmalee, Dr. James Theler, and Dr. Robert Warren, all of whom have generously provided me with copies of their research of freshwater shellfish in North America. Any success I have had at understanding these animals is due to their investigations. This research has benefited greatly from my discussions with many people. I would particularly like to acknowledge the contributions of Mike Rousseau, Rick Harbo, and Dr. Kevin Cumrnings. A special note of appreciation goes to Romi Casper, Doris Lundy, John McMurdo and Dee Milton, all of the Archaeology and Registry Services Branch of the B. C. Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management. They have all provided me with archaeological reports and publications on freshwater shellfish, and other research material. A special note of appreciation goes to Patricia Brearley for her v help with the thesis formatting and otherwise assisting in putting this document together. Finally I thank my son, John Lindsay for the support and encouragement he has given me throughout every stage of this research. TABLE OF CONTENTS ..

  • Fraser River Environmental Watch Report
    Fraser River Environmental Watch Report August 30, 2021 Ten-day daily forecasts of lower Fraser River temperature and flow conditions as well as current conditions throughout the Fraser basin are updated bi-weekly from roughly late-June until mid- August. These short-range forecasts are generated using river temperature and river flow forecast models (Hague and Patterson 2014). The latest research on Pacific salmon freshwater migration suggests there are population-specific differences in temperature and flow tolerance thresholds (Eliason et al. 2011). These differences likely relate back to the variability in the average river environmental conditions experienced by salmon beginning their river migration at different times of the year and along different paths (Farrell et al. 2008). Despite these differences, there are also species-wide thresholds that will result in migration difficulties for most populations of Fraser River sockeye salmon. We provide species-level thresholds as a guide to interpreting the potential effect of current and forecasted river temperature and flow conditions on returning salmon. However, in general, fish historically returning to the Fraser River in the mid-summer will be more tolerant of higher temperatures than those fish returning in the early or late summer or early fall.

  • Eocene Paleo-Physiography and Drainage Directions, Southern Interior Plateau, British Columbia1
    215 Eocene paleo-physiography and drainage directions, southern Interior Plateau, British Columbia1 Selina Tribe Abstract: A map of reconstructed Eocene physiography and drainage directions is presented for the southern Interior Plateau region, British Columbia south of 53°N. Eocene landforms are inferred from the distribution and depositional paleoenvironment of Eocene rocks and from crosscutting relationships between regional-scale geomorphology and bedrock geology of known age. Eocene drainage directions are inferred from physiography, relief, and base level elevations of the sub-Eocene unconformity and the documented distribution, provenance, and paleocurrents of early Cenozoic fluvial sediments. The Eocene landscape of the southern Interior Plateau resembled its modern counterpart, with highlands, plains, and deeply incised drainages, except regional drainage was to the north. An anabranching valley system trending west and northwest from Quesnel and Shuswap Highlands, across the Cariboo Plateau to the Fraser River valley, contained north-flowing streams from Eocene to early Quaternary time. Other valleys dating back at least to Middle Eocene time include the North Thompson valley south of Clearwater, Thompson valley from Kamloops to Spences Bridge, the valley containing Nicola Lake, Bridge River valley, and Okanagan Lake valley. During the early Cenozoic, highlands existed where the Coast Mountains are today. Southward drainage along the modern Fraser, Chilcotin, and Thompson River valleys was established after the Late Miocene. Résumé : Cet article présente une carte reconstituée de la géographie physique et des directions de drainage, à l’Éocène, pour la région du plateau intérieur de la Colombie-Britannique, au sud du 53e parallèle Nord. Les formes de terrain à l’Éocène sont déduites de la distribution et du paléoenvironnement de déposition des roches de l’Éocène et à partir de relations de recoupement entre la géomorphologie à l’échelle régionale et la géologie du socle, d’âge connu.
