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.
Coastal households, river connections, and the evidence
Coastal, island, estuary, and river connections
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.
Political organization and community scale
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.
Later transformation, living heritage, and modern reception
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.

简洁、来源化的时间表
这些里程碑是指向点,而不是完整的历史.
-
Long site sequence
Cannon's regional synthesis discusses early dates at Namu; calibrated and conventional BP measures must remain distinct.
-
Sampled foodways sequence
The faunal study examines changes across a long interval, not a complete census of every household.
-
Expanded excavation
Successive trenches sampled different parts of the midden and its sequence.
-
Regional coring
Multi-site sampling examined settlement histories beyond a single large village.
Foodways, craft, household work, and tended landscapes
