Lecture: Archaeology of the Middle Fraser Canyon

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural History Center, 1800 Weedon Dr NE, St Pete

Description: Archaeology Lecture Series - Complex Hunter-Gatherers of Interior British Columbia: Archaeology of the Middle Fraser Canyon

The Middle Fraser Canyon of interior British Columbia is the traditional home of the St’át’imc people, famous for their intensive salmon fishing, large pithouse villages, and complex social organization. Archaeological research has identified the establishment of permanent villages along the terraces of the Mid-Fraser Canyon shortly after 2000 years ago. The villages grew to peak size by about 1300 years ago with some communities including as many as 1000 persons organized in clans and ranked house groups. The large villages were subsequently abandoned for several hundred years but reoccupied several centuries before the coming of Europeans in the early 19th century. This presentation provides an introduction to the ethnology and archaeology of the Middle Fraser Canyon with a particular focus on the Bridge River site, one of the largest and most intensively studied St’át’imc villages.

Archaeology Lecture: Bioarchaeological Investigations of The Red House

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: South Florida State College, 600 W College Dr, Avon Park, FL 33825, Building G, Room 101

Description: Kissimmee Valley Archaeological and Historical Conservancy Lecture Series - Bioarchaeological Investigations of The Red House Archaeological Site, Port of Spain, Trinidad: A pre-Columbian Mid-Late Ceramic Age Caribbean Population by Patrisha L. Meyers, M.A., RPA

In 2013 structural assessments associated with ongoing renovations of the Red House, Trinidad and Tobago’s Parliament building, revealed human remains buried beneath the foundation. Excavations and radiocarbon dating indicate the remains are pre-Columbian with 14C dates ranging between approximately AD 125 and AD 1395. A bioarchaeological assessment of excavated graves and associated human skeletal material was conducted to determine the demographic profile and the pathological conditions exhibited by the collective skeletal ‘population.’ While not a representative population, the reconstruction of health, lifestyle and disease for these ancient peoples makes a significant contribution to the limited osteological research published on the Caribbean’s pre-contact period.
