Description
Excavations at the Little Qualicum River site, DiSc-, yielded a Gulf of Georgia culture type assemblage dating from about A.D. 1000. In addition to stone, bone, antler, and shell, materials commonly found in prehistoric sites on Vancouver Island, artifacts made of wood and bark were recovered. It is the presence of the unique floral material which prompted the dual focus of this thesis: a general description of the site and the cultural assemblage (with particular emphasis on the wood and bark artifacts. And a locational analysis which relates the range of materials (resources) to the subsistence activities carried out at the site.
