In contrast, patterns evident in recently excavated archaeological assemblages from Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve/Haida Heritage Site suggest year round residence at more dispersed villages with economies based on locally available resources. Such a pattern is also evident elsewhere on the coast, such as on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Thus, though local adaptations are variable, I see a general dichotomy for coastal British Columbia between areas near large salmon rivers (Gulf of Georgia, Central Coast/Namu, Prince Rupert Harbour) and areas without such resources (West Coast Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii). This paper will explore such locally variable economic adaptations through an examination of recent assemblages from Gwaii Haanas and comparison of these assemblages to patterns reported elsewhere on the Northwest Coast.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
