Reviews

A wonderful introduction to archaeology and archaeological techniques...Recommended.

Kenneth Ames, Department of Anthropology, Portland University:

This fine book presents the most recent data about an important set of archaeological sites in British Columbia, exploring both the fascinating history of a people and the scientific process of investigating that ancient past. It does this with great clarity, which makes it a pleasure to read.

Gerald Michel, Land and Resources Coordinator, Xwisten (Bridge River Band):
In the late fifties and early sixties, the Bridge River Dig Site was my playground. This got me interested in archaeology, so I read everything I could on the subject. Today I am a Certified Archaeology Field Technician. People of the Middle Fraser Canyon captures what it is that I love about this place and its ancient history. With this book, readers can take an archaeological tour of my old playground and learn about the place and the people of the St’át’imc Nation.

David M. Schaepe, Director and Senior Archaeologist, Stó:lo Research and Resource Management Centre, Stó:lo Nation:
This well-written and beautifully illustrated book is a work of public archaeology and deep history that has great meaning and relevance today. The authors innovatively link together archaeological, ethnographic, and oral historical data in an appealing and approachable format, and in doing so contribute to our understanding of Indigenous peoples of British Columbia.
