Continuity and Knowledge Transmission on the Northwest Coast: Insights from Wet Site EkTb-9, Triquet Island, Núláwitxv Tribal Area, British Columbia, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Paleoethnobotanical wet site investigations enhance our understanding of ancestral people's relationships with plants and how they have evolved and persisted into the present. Archaeological records of human-plant interactions were historically underutilized or underreported at sites along the Northwest Coast of British Columbia, Canada. Recent advances in interdisciplinary and community-based research have increased awareness of the importance of studying wet site assemblages in the region. Site EkTb-9, Triquet Island, within the N̓úláw̓itx̌v Tribal Area of Haíɫzaqv (Heiltsuk) Nation Territory, is the only mid-Holocene wet site on British Columbia’s outer central coast that has been subject to focused investigations. This case study provides a description of the wooden artifact assemblage from EkTb-9 with consideration in the context of other select wet sites in British Columbia. The enduring relationships that Indigenous Peoples of the Northwest Coast maintain with the varied plant communities represented in these regional wet site assemblages demonstrate continuity and perpetuation of ancestral plant-related knowledge, technologies and land management practices over several hundred generations. Collectively, these data enable an exploration of the interactivity of wet sites, social practice, and knowledge transmission spanning the early Holocene to the present day.

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.
