Zooarchaeology and Ethnozoology at Tse'K'wa (Charlie Lake Cave), North Peace Region, British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The archaeological site of Tse'K'wa in the Peace River Region of British Columbia contains faunal remains dating from approximately 11,000 cal BP to the present.Over 20,000 vertebrate faunal remains were analyzed to examine the cultural and ecological record of this site.Of these, 4,000 were identified to the level of Order or more precise classification.Zooarchaeological analyses were integrated with Dane-zaa oral traditions concerning animal species found in the site deposits.This data shows that Ancestral Dene and Dane-zaa community members utilized the site to process and consume animal remains through the entire Holocene sequence.People harvested fish, birds, and mammals from the nearby wetland and forests, and processed and consumed them at Tse'K'wa.There is little evidence for significant environmental change, and there appears to be continuity in the use of sucker, waterfowl, large rodents, snowshoe hare, a wide range of carnivores, and ungulates throughout the site's history.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
