Abstract

A comparative analysis of housepit structures at the Keatley Creek site on the Canadian Plateau indicates that the ones on the periphery of the site cluster as a group, distinct from the domestic housepits in the core of the site. Comparison of the material attributes from a sample of peripheral structures with expectations of various nondomestic structures for the study region suggests that these structures were used as feasting or meeting-houses and not domestic residences. These peripheral structures originate during the Plateau horizon (2400–1200 B.P.) occupation of the site and were also used during the late Kamloops horizon (400–200 B.P.). It is argued here that understanding the history of these structures as loci of restricted ritual knowledge and training can contribute much to our interpretations of the bases and origins of social inequality in Keatley Creek, and other transegalitarian communities.

Resumen

Resumen

Este artículo explora la variabilidad en el uso de casa-pozos en la más grande aldea prehistórica del Plateau Canadiense del area Keatley Creek. Un análisis comparativo de structuras domésticos como sitios podrea ser posibles estructuras rituales fue llevado a cabo para determinar si la utilización o de dichas estructuras residencias ivernales, o si fueran utilizada para otros propósitos. Los resultados de este estudio indican que estas estructuras rituales se diferencian con relación las casa-pozoslos domésticos. Las diferencias más notables entre las muestras rituales y domésticos surgen de manera siguiente: marcada distribución espacial del site, asociación con espacios de festivos, alta densidad de elementos pesquenos, la baja densidad de desechos, alta proporción de lascas finas bifaciales, y alta proporción de artefactos unusuales o únicos. Una comparación de los atributos en materiales hallados en ST 106, y las otras presumables estructuras rituales sobre sale expectativas sobre el typo material de en las varias estructuras no-domésticas para esutdios región des sugieren espacios ceremoniales y agrupamiento y no como espacies domésticos. La ocupación de este site como propuestas estructuras rituales tiene su orígen en el Lillooet Clásico (2600–1100 B.P.) y fue utilizado hasta el final del horizonte Kamloops.
