Topographic Relief, Settlement, and Land Use on the Lower Kazan River, Arctic Canada: A Study of Archaeological Feature Placement above the River
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Caribou Inuit year-round settlement and land use along the Kazan River, ca. 1800–1960, in the Canadian Arctic are examined in the archaeological record of cultural features. A river reach, where the Harvaqtuurmiut (a Caribou Inuit society) lived and hunted caribou at crossings, has features that are scattered on slopes as well as concentrated at crossings. This study considers the relationship between different kinds (classes) of features, independently of larger sites, and their elevation in a continency table using binomial probabilities. Analysis suggests that the placement of two feature classes, inuksuit (standing stones) and hearths – common on upper slopes and hilltops and scarce along lower slopes and river flats – is sensitive to elevation. Tent rings, caches, and hunting blinds are associated with lower slopes and areas adjacent to the river. Reasons for these findings are considered, and three sites where these findings are contradicted are examined.

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.
