- Title
The Pender Canal Site and the Beginnings of the Northwest Coast Cultural System.
- Authors
Carlson, Roy L.; Szpak, Paul; Richards, Michael
- Abstract
Data from the Pender Canal site excavations relevant to the time and place of origin of the Northwest Coast cultural system are presented with calibrated and new marine reservoir corrected radiocarbon dates. The emphasis is on the evidence for art, ceremonialism, and personal adornment present in the 4500 to 2600 cal B.P. time period, and their relevance as indicators of early socio-cultural complexity.
