Where the wild things grow : a palaeoethnobotanical study of late woodland plant use at Clam Cove, Nova Scotia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent palaeoethnobotanical research carried out at the Clam Cove site in the Minas Basin region of Nova Scotia has added new information to the study of Late Woodland (1500-450 BP) hunter-gatherer groups in this area. Flotation of sediments from the Clam Cove site revealed a modest compliment of plant species which made this location ideal as a temporary camp utilized during lithic collection trips to Scots Bay. Flotation and charcoal analyses also uncovered evidence of species not previously recovered at the Clam Cove site, including beech (Fagus grandifolia), poplar (Populus sp.), strawberries (Fragaria sp.) and blueberries (Vaccinium sp.). Most floral remains reflect a strong reliance on local plant species easily gathered from the immediate area. The comparison of these plant species to those identified at the village sites at Melanson and St. Croix also shows a consistent pattern of plant use between habitation and temporary campsites within the region.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
