INTERACTION AND CHANGE: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF A MENNONITE HOMESTEAD IN CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This archaeological study focusses on a Mennonite homestead found in central Saskatchewan. The homestead, FbNn-14, had three different phases of occupation and/or ownership. The first was the original homesteader, Henrich Dueck and his family, who lived on the homestead from 1907-1922. The homestead was again occupied by the Janzen family from 1926-1936. Lastly in 1945 J. B. Guenther and John W. Friesen owned the homestead until 1950 when the homestead and surrounding lands were turned into a community pasture.\nThe transition of FbNn-14 into a community pasture saw the contents of the household and other structures moved into one depression feature. Through an artifact analysis it was determined that each of the three periods of ownership on the site had an impact on the archaeological assemblage. FbNn-14 represented the use of one homestead by three different sets of Mennonite owners in the early twentieth century.\nThe main objective of the thesis was to achieve an understanding of Mennonite consumption patterns associated with FbNn-14. This study was undertaken by examining Mennonite practices such as the maintenance of social ties, interaction with Anglo-Canadian society, and childhood raising practises. The results of this examination were used to interpret the archaeological material of FbNn-14. The artifacts that received special attention in this analysis were tea wares, artifacts that demonstrated new technology, and mass produced child toys. All of these items showed the extent to which Mennonites at FbNn-14 interacted with the surrounding Anglo-Canadian society and were affected by it.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
