First Wooden Carved Object
Found in Prehistoric Indian Site

ave
about 60 sites once occupled by
Indians in the lower Fraser Val-
ley, some of which will help to
4ill in a four thousand year gap
in B.C.'s prehistory.

The sites, located between the
mouth of the Fraser River and the
canyon above Yale, were found by
Robert S. Kidd, a UBC graduate
now doing postgraduate work at
Washington and Derek Smith, a
‘UBC student taking honors in an-
thropology,

They examined old river ter-
races and gulleys leading from
higher levels down to the Fraser
River and investigated leads from
interested citizens: who wrote or

Pythian Sisters
Wili Hold Bake
Sale on Sep. 27

Members of Kootenay Temple,
Pythian Sisters, held their f
meeting of the fall season on
Thursday evening in the Twin
Rivers Hall. Routine business and
opening were conducted,

Final arrangements were made
for some of the members to assist
with the Fall Fair during the week
commencing Monday, Sept. 16.
Plans were also made for a bake
sale to be held in Weat’s Store on
Friday, Sept. 27.

At the ecfose of a very busy

Onc objective of the survey
was to locate sites. occupied by
Indians ‘between 3000 and 7000
years ago, “Several sites which
seem to contain material from thls
period have been discovered,” Dr.
Borden ‘said, “but’ we shall not

says Dr. Borden, because it re-
presents the first wooden carved
object ‘ever found in B.C. in a pre-
historle’ Indian site.

Later in the summer the party,
ree by Donald Mitchell,

know for certain until
investigations begin.”
Some of the sites located seem
to date back 8000 to 9000 years or
more, Dr. Borden added, which
would make them as old or older
than anything yet investigated.
Funds to carry out the survey
came from the National Museum
of Canada,
As the result of a- second pro-
ject under Dr. Borden's direction,
it has been’ ascertained. that there
are‘ no significant | archaeological
remains in the Peace River basin
area which will be flooded by the
Portage Mountain dam reservoir.
+ There are, however,’ signs ‘of
archaeological remains on river
terraces above the level of the re-
servoir pool, These will be investi-
gated in the future.:
The flooding which will result
from the dam construction at Port-

‘irst| age Mountain will actually be an

aid to future investigations, Dr.
Borden said, since a higher water
level will make higher areas more
accessible,

Bob McGhee, a University of
Toronto honor student, and UBC
graduate Michael Lemiski carried
out the survey with funds pro-
vided by the provincial gocernment
under the’. Archaeological Sites
Protection Act of 1980, which pro-
vides for the investigation of sites

by urban or

The archaeologists found large

made from river cobbles which
were used‘ as choppers, scrapers,

Dr. “Borden said it would be
