Greig 1.0 Summary of Field Program and Results Fieldwork conducted in 2006 on the Spences Bridge properties of Bitterroot Resources Ltd. consisted primarily of stream sediment geochemical sampling, with lesser rock and soil sample collection. A total of almost three hundred silt and moss samples were collected from sixteen drainages, with a total cost for the program of approximately $27,700. The goal of the program was to assess the potential of the claims to host gold mineralization, such as that discovered on the nearby Skoonka Creek property of Strongbow Explorations Inc. Bitterroot holds two properties, which are separated by approximately 2 kilometres (figs. 1 and 2). This report describes the work completed on both properties, as the program was executed simultaneously on both groups of claims, and the aims of the exploration programs were the same. On Bitterroot’s eastern claim group, Murray Creek, a major drainage which flows into the Thompson River from the west at Spences Bridge, yielded the best gold results in the stream sediment sampling, with a high of 1,060 ppb Au, and a supportive value of 618 ppb Au only 150 metres upstream. Unfortunately, creeks flowing from the Bitterroot claims into Murray Creek did not yield similar promise, as results for Au were typically below trace levels. In the western Spences Bridge claim group, very few gold anomalies are apparent, although drainages from the Clear Range exhibit elevated Cu and Zn. Because only a very limited amount of prospecting and soil sampling was carried-out on the property, the source of these base metals anomalies remains a possible target. Preliminary prospecting along the Snow Hill road system suggests that sulphides, mainly pyrrhotite and pyrite, are abundant within foliated metavolcanic rocks in that area, but rock and soil sampling did not yield results elevated in base metals. In general, the rest of the results of the 2006 stream sediment sampling program were disappointing. There are several possibilities for follow-up work.

Flasha & C.J. Greig metal anomalies in the Clear Range, the source of anomalies in Murray Creek merit more investigation. This is particularly so if the ground north of Murray Creek becomes available. In the meantime, a limited program of prospecting, contour soil sampling, and perhaps some in-fill stream sediment sampling immediately south of the anomalous stretch of the creek should be undertaken. To follow-up on the Snow Hill-Clear Range area anomalies, contour soil sampling and prospecting should be considered, as should in-fill stream sediment sampling. 2.0 Location, Access, and Physiography Bitterroot Resources’ Spences Bridge properties are located approximately 4 kilometres west of Spences Bridge, a small community near the confluence of the Thompson and Nicola rivers, and 5 kilometres east of the Fraser River Valley (figs. 1 & 2). Bitterroot’s properties are readily accessible from Spences Bridge via the Murray Creek Forest Service Road, which connects with the Trans Canada highway in the Thompson River Valley. The property can also be accessed from the west, via the Izman Creek Forest Service Road, which links the Murray Creek system to Highway 12, a paved road connecting Lytton and Lillooet (figs. 2 & 3). The forest service roads are well maintained, as logging is active in the area. The property lies a short distance east of the Coast Mountains, but is within the interior dry belt. The area is free of snow for the majority of the year, and is workable for at least eight months a year. Elevation on the property ranges between 500 and 1700 metres, resulting in a wide range of vegetation and terrain (fig. 4). Because of the lack of moisture in the summer months, stream sampling best accomplished during the runoff period in the spring, during snow melt. -4- E m 0 0 0 5 1 6 E m 0 0 0 0 1 6 5590000 mN E m 0 0 0 5 0 6 524330524330524330 MMuurrrrrrrraayyy CCrrrreeeekkk FFSSRR E 524329 m 524329524329524329 524328524328524328 0 524328 0 0 0 0 6 524326524326 524327524327524327 524323524323524323 524326524326 5585000 mN 524318524318524318 5595000 mN 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 8 1 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 0 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 E terroot Resources Ltd. m Bit 0 0 Spences Bridge Properties SpencesClaim Bridge Location Properties with 0 5 1 524320524320524320 Surrounding Claims 6 2 Date:9/1/2007 Author: Office: Projection: UTM Zone 10 (NAD1 83) Contour Interval: 100m Drawing: SFlasha 0.5 kilometres Scale: 1:50000 0 Skwaha Lake E m Ecological 0 0 Reserve 0 0 1 6 5590000 mN 524321524321524321 524325524325524325 524324524324524324 Lytton First Nation E m 0 0 524322524322524322 0 5 0 6 -5- 111666000000 E m 0 0 0 0 0 5585000 mN 6 R R R R R R R R R S S S S S S S S S F F F F F F F F F k k k k k k k k k e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e r r r r r r r r r C C C C C C C C C n n n n n n n n n a a a a a a a a a m m m m m m m m m z z z z z z z z z I I I I I I I I I Figure 3.

    Chapter 2 The Coyote People Because native life and culture is so important to understanding archaeological re- mains in North America, we shall take a brief look at what traditional life was like in the Lillooet region before examining the archaeological remains from Keatley Creek in detail. There are three native linguistic groups that converge on the site catchment area of Keatley Creek (Figure 2.1). This is the area around the site that would have been regularly used for obtaining food resources. These linguistic groups are the Stl’atl’imx (or St’at’imc; pronounced Shtla-tlye-mkh, also known as the Fraser River Lillooet Indians), the Nlaka7pamux (pronounced N-le-ka’-p-mkh, also known as the Upper Thompson Indians), and the Secwepemc (pronounced Sha-khwep-makh, also known as the Shuswap Indians).1 All three languages are members of the Interior Sal- ish language family, and all three claim to be descended from a coyote ancestor who is the most prominent figure in their oral traditions (Teit, 1917, p. 12). All three groups also have similar material culture. Therefore, archaeologists have not been able to distinguish these groups from each other prehistorically, and we cannot say for certain which of the three languages was spoken by the prehistoric residents of Keatley Creek. However, because there is an unbroken cultural tradition throughout the Salish-speak- ing part of the Plateau, from middle Prehistoric times (ca. 7000 B.P.) until contact with Eurocanadians in the 1800s, it seems almost certain that the residents of Keatley Creek spoke one of the Interior Salish languages.

  • Food Production During the Late

    Food Production During the Late

    Supervisors: Dr. Nancy J. Turner and Dr. Michael C.R Edgell ABSTRACT This research traces the emergence of wild plant food production during the Late Prehistoric Period (4500 to 200 BP) on the Canadian Plateau. It builds upon ecological-evolutionary perspectives offered by theories of people-plant interactions and models of plant food production. From this, it derives a general model of wild plant food production outlining the components of such systems, the conditions favouring their development, and the consequences and correlates of these activities. This general model is expanded and made specific to the Canadian Plateau through ethnographic, ethnobotanical, ecological and archaeological evidence for root resource use by the Secwepemc (Shuswap) and other Interior Salish peoples. The implications of these findings for reconstructions of Late Prehistoric culture change are discussed. The study has two components. It begins by demonstrating that historically, the Interior Salish peoples were not plant collectors, "adapting to" the environment, but plant food producers who "domesticated" the landscapes of the region. Ethnobotanical evidence indicates the Secwepemc managed, processed and stored a variety of plant resources to increase their productivity and availability. These actions ensured surpluses for ovenvintering, reducing the threat of recurrent seasonal resource stress. Root foods were particulariy important. At least 20 species were regdarly hamested and stored. Practices associated with harvesting were essentially horticultural and acted at the species, population and landscape levels to increase the density and distribution of targeted species. The productivity of root resources was also increased through processing in earth ovens. An experimental reconstruction of an Interior Salish earth oven found pitcooking increased the energy value of balsamroot (Balsarnorhiza sagittata), a former root staple, by 250 percent.

This study was undertaken to determine if these trends are likely to continue under the conditions predicted by various global circulation models. To do this, existing ¯ow and temperature models were run with weather data that were derived from actual weather observations, but modi®ed using changes predicted by the global circulation models. The validity of the ¯ow model results is supported by very close agreement with the historical record. The differences between model output and the historical record for mean ¯ow, mean peak ¯ow, mean minimum ¯ow and peak ¯ow day were not statistically signi®cant; furthermore, there was only a 3±4 day shift in the occurrence of cumulative ¯ow milestones. The temperature model's mean water temperature was only 0.2 8C higher than the historical record. For the period 2070±2099, the ¯ow model predicted a modest 5% 5150 m3/s) average ¯ow increase but a decrease in the average peak ¯ow of about 18% 51600 m3/s).

    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.
