    About this ebook

    Excavation of a number of pit house sites at Anahim Lake in the central plateau of British Columbia has resulted in the definition of five components, the last two attributed to the Chilcotin. There are significant resemblances between these two components and Athabaskan complexes recorded elsewhere in North America. In this second part of this publication, analysis of the vertebrate remains from Potlatch site reveal much about the subsistence of the Chilcotin. Significant changes occurred in the percentage of vertebrate remains through time. Evidence of butchering and artifactual modification are discussed. Range changes of several species are of zoological interest.
