Abstract
The investigation undertaken in this paper consists of a description and analysis of cranial material from several recently-excavated sites in the Gulf of Georgia region. Archaeological analyses of these sites have suggested that the various components represent three distinct culture types -- Locarno Beach, Marpole, and Developed Coast Salish -- occupying the Gulf area sequentially over the past 300 years (Borden 1950; Carlson 1960; Mitchell 1968; Willey 1966), and the investigation's major objective has been to determine whether or not the populations associated with these distinct cultures differed significantly from one another in their physical characteristics.
