Lithic Resource Utilization and Cultural Assemblage at the Wolf Willow (FbNp-26) Site
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Wolf Willow site (FbNp-26) is a multi-component Precontact campsite located within the Opimihaw Valley of Wanuskewin Heritage Park, two kilometers north of the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Excavations of the site began in 2010 and continued for another 10 years ending in the field season of 2020. These excavations involved a field school established by the Department of Anthropology at the University of Saskatchewan. This thesis will focus on the 2015 to 2020 field season assemblage of cultural material including pottery, lithic debitage and stone tools. During the initial field season at Wolf Willow, four distinct archaeological cultural levels were identified and radiocarbon dated. These cultural levels include: Plains Side Notched, Prairie Side Notched, the McKean Series, and Oxbow Complex materials. In the later seasons (2015-2020) more cultural levels have been identified both in the field and also in the lab. This includes a Historic component, a Pelican Lake Complex component and a Mummy Cave Complex component thus adding new cultural elements to an already multicomponent site. The stratigraphy of the Wolf Willow site is complex and highly variable across the site area. This is the result of dynamic erosional and depositional activity as well as other environmental formation processes. These processes disturbed the original deposit of the archaeological material which in turn affected interpretations of the site occupations. An analysis of these environmental disturbance processes is discussed in relation to the stratigraphy at Wolf Willow.

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.
