The precontact village at St. Croix (BfDa-1), Nova Scotia: \nexplorations of site \nsize and stratigraphic integrity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The St. Croix site in Hants County, Nova Scotia, offers archaeologists a glimpse \ninto life among Native communities during the Woodland Period. Within the modern \ncommunity of St. Croix, a small clearing in an undisturbed forested area was excavated in \n1990 and 1993 and found to be rich in cultural material dating to the full breadth of the \nWoodland Period. Field work in 2012 expanded on earlier work by extending the \nexcavation to the end of the undisturbed forested area and into the larger St. Croix \ncommunity. Areas affected by modern activities such as plowing were tested to \ndetermine the quality of the archaeological record after decades of domestic cultivation. \nAnalyses of recovered ceramics, lithic artifacts and palaeoethnobotanical remains \nare comparable to previous work, revealing a site utilized throughout the Woodland \nPeriod. Currently known boundaries of the site within the undisturbed forest area are \nextended approximately 60m north and areas once thought irrevocably destroyed are now \narchaeologically viable with the discovery of a thin undisturbed occupation layer. St. \nCroix continues to represent a place of great archaeological wealth and represents one of \nthe most important Woodland Period sites in the province.

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.
