This file contains a report on excavations at Marpole [c̓əsnaʔəm] prepared for the course Anthropology 401. It describes the work of Charles Borden and five students, and refers to the content of fellow students' reports. Duff describes the purpose of the project as being to reconstruct the cultural context of the site's former inhabitants.
The report describes environmental context at length, and also discusses site history and context at the time of the excavation. Ancestral remains and objects removed from the site are listed, including analysis of ancestral remains. Sketches include two maps of the immediate area with streets and property lines indicated. A third sketch provides a West-facing profile of the excavation with strata.
