Description
Fifty-seven human skeletons, along with more than 200 artifacts and nearly 20,000 non-human bones, provide insight into mortuary practices, human biology, palaeopathology, and demography for the sixth through thirteenth centuries A.D. These findings are analysed in the context of 5,000 years of British Columbian coastal Native history.
