Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Bones discovered during lot preparation for a housing development led to the identification of an ancient burial ground in the Nass River valley. The site was excavated as a cooperative venture between the Lakalzap Band Council and the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Fifty-seven human skeletons, along with more than 200 artifacts and nearly 20,000 non-human bones, provide insight into mortuary practices, human biology, palaeopathology, and demography for the 6th through 12th centuries A.D. These findings are analyzed in the context of 5,000 years of British Columbia coastal Indian history.
