Namu: foodways and changing coastal settlements

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

Cannon analyzes vertebrate remains and changing marine-resource use rather than assuming one timeless salmon economy. Regional coring identifies repeated use of locations; Cannon distinguishes this from proof that occupation never paused.

Settlement sequence and foodways context Early Holocene–1700 CE; sampled faunal study chiefly 7000 calibrated BP onward Radiocarbon sequences, faunal analysis, midden stratigraphy and regional coring Bella Bella, British Columbia, Canada (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, fishing, farming, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.
Resumo

Casas costeiras, conexões fluviais e evidências

Conexões costeiras, insulares, estuarinas e fluviais

Bella Bella, British Columbia, Canada is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Repeated settlement, household decisions and changing fishing opportunities require local explanation, not a universal coastal government.

Organização política e escala comunitária

Repeated settlement, household decisions and changing fishing opportunities require local explanation, not a universal coastal government. Repeated use of a place does not prove uninterrupted occupation, an unchanged population or a genetic continuity.

Transformação posterior, património vivo e recepção moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Heiltsuk homeland authority is distinct from archaeological inference; no language is assigned to every early deposit. Later colonial, research, reconstruction and stewardship events are dated separately from the main archaeological context.

Changing foodways Cannon analyzes vertebrate remains and changing marine-resource use rather than assuming one timeless salmon economy.

Sequência histórica

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Estes marcos servem de orientação e não constituem uma história completa.

  1. Long site sequence

    Cannon's regional synthesis discusses early dates at Namu; calibrated and conventional BP measures must remain distinct.

    [S2]

  2. Sampled foodways sequence

    The faunal study examines changes across a long interval, not a complete census of every household.

    [S1]

  3. Expanded excavation

    Successive trenches sampled different parts of the midden and its sequence.

    [S3]

  4. Regional coring

    Multi-site sampling examined settlement histories beyond a single large village.
