Abstract
Abstract Caribou drive systems made of stone lines and cairns [inuksuit] are a common feature of the far north but have been little studied by archaeologists. Two communal caribou kill sites from southern Victoria Island, Nunavut, Canada are discussed and illustrated. The Eggington site is a single-line drive where herds of caribou were directed through a saddle between two hills and killed from shooting pits. The POD site is a V-shaped funnel with two prominent lines of cairns and stone walls ending with opposing shooting pits. The sites, of uncertain age, are similar to those described by Jenness for the historic Caribou Inuit. Critical aspects of landscape and caribou behavior/biology that were manipulated to achieve the kills include the nature of the terrain, sense of smell and eyesight, wind, and the reaction of caribou to motion. Caribou drives, though often devoid of artifacts, have the power to reveal the sophisticated systems of knowledge that enabled successful communal kills.

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
