Abstract
The Vickers focus is an archaeological group found in south-central and southwestern Manitoba. After a brief occupation of the Tiger Hills region where these people were believed to have practiced horticulture, they moved west into the Lauder Sandhills of Manitoba and became intensive bison hunters. The faunal assemblages from two Vickers focus occupations in the Lauder Sandhills are examined to determine activity areas and the subsistence strategies of each site. The Jackson site contains a small bison kill and associated processing area while the nearby Vera site was mainly used for processing. Seasonality of each site is also inferred from faunal remains with Jackson being occupied during the colder months and Vera inhabited during a warmer season. One assumes that seasonality would be a significant factor in subsistence strategies as indicated by the ethnographic record. The predominance of bison exploitation with only a limited use of secondary food sources at the Vera and Jackson sites suggest that seasonality was not a deciding factor of their subsistence strategies.

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
