Reviews

A wonderful introduction to archaeology and archaeological techniques...Recommended. * CHOICE, Vol. 50 No. 5 * 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. -- Kenneth Ames, Department of Anthropology, Portland University


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'at'imc Nation. -- Gerald Michel, Land and Resources Coordinator, Xwisten (Bridge River Band) A wonderful introduction to archaeology and archaeological techniques...Recommended.
