Archaeology of the lower Fraser River region

Rousseau, Mike K., (editor.). SFU Faculty Publication. (Added Author). Archaeology Press, (publisher.).

Summary: Since Charles Hill-Tout’s pioneering investigations at the famous Marpole site in the terminal 1800s, a considerable number of significant and richly informative archaeological studies have been conducted within the Lower Fraser River Region of southwestern British Columbia. As a result, a great deal has been revealed and learned about pre-contact period and early post-contact period human occupation, settlement, and use of natural resources.
