Between 1968 and 1972, ten archaeological sites were excavated in
Prince Rupert Harbour on the northern coast of British Columbia.
This volume focuses on the finds from nine sites, over 9,000 of
which were found, dating from 3,500 BC to the modern period.
Divided into three broad chronological periods, the study describes
in detail the finds of bone, antler, teeth and shell, the worked
stone and bone, the grave goods, the jewellery made from metal or
organic materials, harpoons and whale bone weapons. These are then
discussed for what they reveal about life along this fertile and
productive yet challenging and often harsh coastline. The
discussion highlights regional variations in material culture and
subsistence. The study includes a full description of each of the
sites and numerous tables.
