Abstract
Throughout the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene, the Cypress Hills of southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan have experienced ongoing erosion in upslope areas, with deposition of eroded material in the meltwater channels flanking their slopes. While this pattern has resulted in the destruction or disturbance of archaeological sites in upslope locations, the deposition of sediment in these downslope areas has made them well suited to the burial of archaeological occupations, resulting in the formation and preservation of sites in the meltwater channels. Furthermore, this sediment influx has produced sites containing extended sequences of clearly separated archaeological occupations associated with contemporaneous buried soils. Such separation greatly enhances the quality of the archaeological data at these sites while providing the opportunity to supplement them with paleoenvironmental information derived from the associated soils. Given the rich ethnohistoric accounts of aboriginal activity in the Cypress Hills, it appears to be an area in which research on the Late Prehistoric period would be valuable. This situation is only enhanced by the manner in which the geomorphic history of the Cypress Hills has favoured the formation of sites with excellent potential for the preservation of highquality archaeological and paleoenvironmental data.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
