Item The Zooarchaeological Study of Sculpin (Cottidae) at an Ancient W̱SÁNEĆ Village Site(University of Victoria, 2025) Bartel-Ens, SkyeZooarchaeology, the study of animal remains within an archaeological context, allows us to uncover the human-animal relationships that existed in the past. This zooarchaeological study uses a sample of 2,099 fish bones recovered from the later occupation (15th to 18th centuries) of ȾEL¸IȽĆE, an ancient W̱SÁNEĆ village site, to investigate how the people at this site engaged with the lands and waters around them. Analysis of this pre-contact study sample revealed an anomaly in the abundance of sculpin (Cottidae) at ȾEL¸IȽĆE, when compared with other sites in the Salish Sea. Investigations into why we see so many sculpin at ȾEL¸IȽĆE, and how they were harvested and processed, revealed remnants of an ancient Indigenous sculpin fishery that had been left out of history. Sculpin, making up 64% of the fish at ȾEL¸IȽĆE, were highly abundant in waters along Cordova Bay Beach, leading to their use as a primary and/or supplementary subsistence source for the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples living at this site. Additionally, the abundant presence of sculpin in a prominent hearth feature suggests that the people at ȾEL¸IȽĆE were processing sculpin directly at the site, potentially using pit cook cooking techniques. The ancient sculpin fishery at ȾEL¸IȽĆE was an intentional, well-established subsistence practice, and needs to be incorporated into W̱SÁNEĆ marine use claims and boundaries.Item Reframing food sovereignty in Eastern Cuba: Informal economies and the pursuit of adequacy among small-scale farming communities(2025) Frederick, DanaIn response to the current economic and humanitarian crisis in Cuba, causing widespread food scarcity, this study explores how small-scale farmers in Eastern Cuba respond to food inadequacy through alternative and informal food systems. Drawing on 6 weeks of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 2023 and 2024, the study examines how participants employ strategies such as unsanctioned production, black market engagement, and grassroots mutual aid networks to reclaim control over their food systems, working towards a culturally and nutritionally adequate diet. While Cuba has been celebrated for its agroecological practices and state-led food sovereignty programming, this research reveals a lived reality of scarcity and economic hardship among small-scale farming communities in the Eastern provinces. The study therefore argues that the prevailing food sovereignty discourse does not accurately reflect the agency of farmers working outside of formally recognized economies. Participants’ stories reveal engagement with a diversity of informal economies to resolve food inadequacy, embodying a form of food sovereignty that is not reflected in policy-oriented discourse. In response, this analysis calls for a reframing of the current discourse to more accurately reflect the moral contradictions and agency of small-scale farmers as they actively seek to improve food access and posits that a framework of adequacy is fundamental in bridging food sovereignty discourse with lived practices in the context of Eastern Cuba. Thus, the experiences of the small-scale farmers in this study are presented as a critical lens through which the limitations and contradictions of current food sovereignty narratives may be assessed.Item Coming of age post B'nai Mitzvah: Community seeking, identity development, and diasporic translocal space among Jewish youth in Victoria, British Columbia(2025) McIntosh, BeatriceAs an ethno-religious minority at the intersection of Euro-Canadian young adulthood and deep legacies of heritage and history, young Jewish adults in Victoria, BC are uniquely oriented within a complex set of transnational, transgenerational, and multiethnic dynamics. Particularly in a region which is highly secular, and in a broader cultural context with strong narratives related to multicultural nationalism, the experiences of young Jewish adults in this city are distinctive. In this study, I strive to address the questions of how, exactly, are young adults engaging with hybridized Jewish-Canadian identities, building communities which reflect this engagement, and envisioning themselves within the continuum of Jewish pasts, presents, and futures. Through qualitative methods including participant observation and semi-structured interview research within this community, I am proposing a triad model of youth Jewish engagement with heritage, culture, and identity. The model is premised on the following three pillars: Jewishness as fostered and expressed through seeking affirming Jewish community among peers, Jewish identity as consistently evolving during early adulthood, and Jewish identity and belonging as expressed through the creation of unique translocal community space. Through qualitative inquiry and interpretation, I present a viewpoint on this community which embraces internal diversity, complex and pluralized Jewish identities, and collective cultural experience.Item Childhood growth: Comparing long bone cortical thickness and length in four hunter gatherer societies(2025) Cobby, AveryThis study investigates childhood skeletal growth patterns in four hunter-gatherer groups: Late Stone Age (LSA), Sadlermuit (SAD), Indian Knoll (IK), and Point Hope (PH), by analyzing the cortical thickness and diaphyseal length of the femur and humerus. These measurements provide insights into adaptation to environmental stressors during early-life growth. The research examines how cortical thickness and diaphyseal length vary across these groups, the environmental and dietary factors influencing these variations, and how these growth patterns compare to modern trajectories from the Maresh dataset. Statistical analyses identified significant differences in humeral and femoral measurements. Contrary to expectations, IK exhibited the greatest cortical thickness in both the humerus and femur, suggesting that factors beyond mechanical loading, such as diet and ecological conditions, influenced skeletal growth. This study contributes to understanding how past populations adapted to their environments and provides new insights into childhood skeletal development.Item Is Cannabis Changing Our Relations? An Evaluation of British Columbia's Attempts at Economic Reconciliation(2024) Ghazarian, MichaelPrior to Canadian cannabis legalization, Indigenous nations had started to participate within the unregulated cannabis industry, turning it into a vehicle for cultural assertion. With the enactment of a federally regulated market, Indigenous cannabis businesses began to be displaced by regulated storefronts. With the increasing grievances from First Nation voices it was apparent that federal cannabis legalization actively excluded them from participating in a regulated economy (Crosby, 2019). In response to the increasing call for change, British Columbia enacted a unique amendment that aimed to create new government-to-government agreements between Indigenous communities involved in cannabis economies and the provincial government (BC Government News, 2022). Due to the recency of this amendment a large gap in evaluating its efficacy was apparent. Through the application of a historiographical analysis this research aims to establish the effectiveness of these newly formed agreements in the context of rebuilding Indigenous-Crown relations. This paper suggests that there is a growing amount of self-determination for those who participate within this new cannabis framework. However, based on the response by Indigenous voices and perspectives there is still a high degree of rigidity that excludes many from participating (Clarke, 2023). The overarching message is that this policy moves in the right direction but still lacks the ability to allow nations to assert an adequate degree of sovereignty.Item “I’m just asking questions.” An analysis of White supremacist pseudo-archaeology(2024) Vandersluis, RylanPseudo-archaeology is the rejection of academic archaeological explanations of the past, for the explicit purpose of inserting one's own speculative analysis. This research explores how white supremacists use pseudo-archaeology to propagate their ideology into the present, and how their ideas have adapted from their initial creation. It attempts to solve this question by a comparative synthetic analysis of the two case studies. The first is the ideologically dictated Archaeology that was carried out by nazi academics under the Third Reich, which was analyzed through a meta-analysis of secondary sources on the given subject matter. The second is the conspiratorial rhetoric propagated by Grahm Hancock’s media, using his first book Finger Prints of the Gods, and his docutainment series Ancient Apocalypse as an analytical framework. This research reveals the continued legacy of white supremacist ideas into modern pseudo-archaeology with the use of prehistory as a medium, the concept of a white precursor civilization, and the use of pseudo-intellectual echo chambers to bolster their ideas. The results of this study also reveal the changes in their methodologies and how Nazi rhetoric has been adapted to modernity through the modification of the concept of “Aryaness” to just “Whiteness,” The change from a war of races to a war against culture, and the effective modernization of propaganda. The results of this research attempt to unveil how Hancock has modified white supremacist history, in order to make it more palatable to the modern white audience.Item “Am I Japanese? Am I Nikkei?” An exploration of the identities of Yonsei and Gosei Japanese Canadians(2024) Nagasaki, DjunaIn February 2024, I received a conspicuous text message from my grandmother asking me to call her as soon as possible. “You will not believe what I found,” she exclaimed as I picked up the phone. It was a postcard from my great-grandfather, John Nobuo Nagasaki, sent to my grandparents in 1974, almost 50 years prior. My great-grandfather was born in Vancouver on the 22nd of April, 1922. He was Canadian-born. However, he was also of Japanese descent and, despite never setting foot in Japan, was still considered ‘alien’ on so-called ‘Canadian’ soil. In 1942, when John Nobuo was 20 years old, he and his family were forcibly uprooted from the West Coast along with thousands of other Japanese Canadians and incarcerated in internment camps. Their family home in Vancouver was dispossessed and lost to them forever. In 1974, John Nobuo visited Vancouver for the first time since his uprooting, a trip during which he wrote this postcard. As my grandma read it out loud over the phone, I felt my heart beat erratically in my chest. This postcard is the only piece of writing I have ever found from my great-grandfather, a figure in my ancestry who is somewhat of a mystery while simultaneously holding so much influence over my life and identity. The postcard read: “Hi, It sure has changed a lot here. I am getting lost every time I go out, But it sure is beautiful, and has it ever grown. Our old home is still here, and it’s the nicest on the block (remodeled). See you all soon, Dad.” I felt chills. “It’s practically a family artifact,” my grandmother went on, “look at how he calls it a home and not a house…really shows how they lost so much more than just a house, so much more than just things.” I felt tears well up in my eyes. This postcard offered a rare connection to the past, a short missive which briefly outlined the emotion behind what my great-grandfather went through in the 1940s. Today, my family is mixed, assimilated, and disconnected, a broad tapestry of trauma trickling down through the generations. In reading this short postcard, I form a relationship with my heritage and the intergenerational trauma within my family, coming closer to understanding what it means for me to be Japanese Canadian, what it means to be a descendant of internment.Item A Time for Recollection: Exploring the Temporality of Victoria’s Sea-To-Sea Green Blue Belt Campaign(2024) Lefort, AudreyThe rapid growth of our Earth's population has increased the demand for development and urban sprawl, consequently endangering the protection of the natural world. To ensure the future of functioning ecosystems, recreational spaces, and agricultural land, many have turned to green belts as planning strategies. Specific to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, the collaboration between different organizations, community members, and levels of government successfully protected the lands connecting Tod Inlet, Sooke Basin and Sooke River. This Sea-to-Sea Green Blue Belt is the subject of this research, and semi-structured interviews, modified photovoice activities, and secondary data were used to understand the timeline and temporal experiences of nine participants who were actively involved from 1988 to the early 2000s. The article explains that the campaign was catalyzed by an algae bloom in the drinking water which led to a court case against the Greater Victoria Water District’s (GVWD) illegal logging activities in 1994, and the eventual creation of the Sooke Hills Wilderness Regional Park in 1997. This was followed by a 2000 Regional Park Acquisition Fund used to secure private lands for the green belt, which has resulted in the acquisition of over 4,900 hectares of parkland as of 2024. In addition, the anthropological theoretical frameworks of future orientation and social ecology revealed that participants’ identity influenced how their expectations, anticipation, and hope propelled the Sea-to-Sea Green Blue Belt campaign towards success, but that they now rely on speculation to envision the future of global environmental protection. This research contributes to current green belt academic literature by providing a deeper look into the human experience of advocating for this green infrastructure.Item Source of the Stone: Lithic Procurement and Provisioning at a Desert Refugium in the Azraq Basin, Jordan(2023-07-04) Skead, Colton D.Changes in mobility patterns by hunter-gatherers in water-stressed regions of the world has long been viewed as a risk mitigation strategy. Tied into these decisions are the ways in which they provision themselves and procure resources. Foragers of the distant past are no exception, but the nature of their survival is not fully understood. The Middle Pleistocene site of C-Spring in the Azraq Basin, Jordan, is an appropriate case study at which to investigate such issues. C-Spring, excavated by Dr. Andrew Garrard, is located directly adjacent to the only stable water source in the region, the Azraq wetlands, and has yielded an impressive cache of Acheulean remains. In order to reconstruct the mobility patterns, a provenance analysis is conducted to reveal the catchment areas most frequently utilized by the hominins. This was performed with data collected by Individual Attribute Analysis (IAA) and Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) of both the known sources in the region and the lithic artifacts. The results show that the majority of raw material was procured locally (5-10 km). This suggests hominins tethered themselves to water in the region for resource security, yet still ventured among the surrounding landscape, remaining within a day’s range to the secure resources offered by the Azraq wetlands. As such, C-Spring offers unique insight into how hominins of the Middle Pleistocene survived in marginalized desert environments.Item “Not Just a Forum, but a Community”: Incel Forums as Sites of Validation, Belonging, and Empowerment(2023-07-04) Leslie, PaigeThere are few places where the forces of misogyny, violence, and the patriarchy are so shamelessly endorsed than in online incel communities. Made up of men who claim to be involuntarily celibate (hence the name “incel”), incel forums are hubs of hateful and violent rhetorics about women and society. To understand why some celibate men find solace in such a disturbing community, I studied one incel forum using non-participant observation and thematic analysis. My research suggests that incel forums constitute a community of practice (CoP) (Neufeld, Fang, and Wan 2013), participation in which structures incels’ lives in validating and empowering ways. Incels may choose to join the community because it provides them with a meaningful source of identity, gives them a sense of power within the community that they do not believe they possess in the broader society, and offers self-affirming mindsets which blame a misandrist society for their problems. Overall, the incel community is a double-edged sword, providing its members with individual benefits but ultimately further isolating them from the rest of the world. Understanding how to meet incels’ needs for belonging and validation is crucial if we aim to counter their hateful narratives and provide celibate men with healthier alternatives to incel forums that reconnect them to mainstream society.Item Coastal Collaboration: Exploring Emerging Frameworks to Equitably Tackle Marine Debris on the BC Coast(2023-07-04) Smy, OrianaAnthropogenic marine debris is plaguing the British Columbia (BC) Coast and it will take a collaborative approach to equitably tackle this issue. Outdated top-down conservation efforts do not historically provide equitable solutions to communities that are most impacted by environmental issues. A community-based lens can better reflect the disproportionate socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental burdens of marine debris. My research examines the BC Government's Clean Coast, Clean Waters initiative and the Coastal Marine Strategy as case studies to represent current and future State funding streams that support marine protection and Indigenous-led conservation. My qualitative methodology is based on participant observation, literature review, and interviews with important actors from the Province and the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation. The declared Indigenous-led Marine Protected Area of Gitdisdzu Lukyeks/Kitasu Bay provides an example of asserting inherent stewardship rights in accordance with Kitasoo/Xai’xais Indigenous laws and protocols. My research questions the impacts of marine debris on biodiversity and food security, and how State policy can better support Indigenous stewardship priorities beyond recognition and remediation efforts. Co-design and co-governance strategies for Marine Protected Areas may be an indication of a shifting tide of intergovernmental relations in Canada. But only time will tell if this pivot in policy creation can provide the long-term mechanisms to equitably address the issue of marine debris on the BC Coast.Item Peering into the Past: Species Identification of Archaeological Pacific Salmon on Southwest Vancouver Island(2023-07-04) Harrison, FreyaWith anthropogenic climate change accelerating, environmental scientists, historical ecologists, and fisheries scientists alike have been asking questions about the future of our oceans. Understanding Pacific salmonid species composition at archaeological sites through very long-time horizons could provide answers to some of those questions. Archaeological studies of five species of northeast Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, O. nerka, O. keta, O. tshawytscha, and O. kisutch) on the Northwest Coast have become increasingly important for understanding the historical distribution and exploitation of these significant cultural and ecological species. This is a regionally grounded study utilising archaeological salmon vertebrae collected from the Tseshaht village site of Kakmakimih on the southwest coast of British Columbia. Vertebral morphometric analysis has been proposed as an inexpensive, non-destructive supplementary method to other more established methods of identification (ancient DNA testing, and collagen peptide analysis [ZooMS] to infer or identify salmon species in archaeological assemblages. I apply the method of vertebral morphometric measurements to characterise and identify archaeological salmon species from vertebrae. I also investigate morphometric variability throughout the vertebral column and apply the morphometric measurements method to anatomically ordered vertebrae from modern salmonid specimens. Through data exploration and statistical analysis, I find that vertebral morphometric analysis has the potential to refine salmon species identifications in archaeological assemblages. This methodological approach contributes to the broader theme of evolution and ecology in anthropology by providing insight into human-non-human relationships in the past and present, and by reconstructing salmon populations that are so crucial to Indigenous fisheries.Item Navigating Anthropogenic Landscapes: Behavioural Adaptations by Great Apes in Disturbed Habitats(2023-07-04) Gilbert, MirandaIndustrial expansion has brought humans and wildlife into closer contact, and increased conflict. The great apes (chimpanzee, orangutan, gorilla, bonobo), the closest extant relatives to humans, have experienced substantial population declines as a result of anthropogenic activities. However, the effects of human activity on ape behavioural ecology have been minimally considered. Using the literature review method, I address the question: how is human activity influencing great ape behaviour in anthropogenic landscapes? I found that the strongest drivers of documented behaviour change were croplands, signs of human activity, and logging. The most frequently documented adaptations to these activities were crop raiding, changing nesting practices, and biassed and fragmented range use. Analysis of human-primate relationships showed that some adaptations like crop raiding are worsening relationships between people and primates, resulting in the trapping and harassment of wild apes. Interestingly, regions where apes and humans had previously maintained a positive or neutral relationship were found to be experiencing shifts towards negative relationships. This invites investigation into tolerance thresholds for behaviour change in sympatric species, and timely mitigation strategies. This research provides a big picture of how human activities and ape behavioural ecology interact and demonstrates that the inclusion of human perspectives is critical to developing locally supported, holistic conservation strategies.Item The Sounds of míqәn: An Embodied Inquiry of Place, Space, and Perception in Beacon Hill Park(2023-07-04) Dubé, CaitlynVision is often considered the most important and necessary sense; but what do we miss when we tune out our other senses? Advertised as the crowing jewel of Victoria’s park system, míqәn (Beacon Hill Park) is a major attraction for those visiting the capital city of the Canadian province of British Columbia, each of whom form unique senses of place through their personal experiences and become part of the area’s entangled Indigenous and colonial histories. Experiences with, and senses of, place cannot be separated from the place’s sensorial elements, which each person perceives and understands differently. With a focus on (beyond) the five senses, the anthropology of the senses can provide unique insights into the formation and maintenance of histories, epistemologies, identities, and places while simultaneously exploring sensory configurations that disrupt the colonial prioritization of sight and seeing. Drawing from sensory ethnography, sonic anthropology, and place-based studies, this project focuses on the acts of being, sensing, and audio recording and asks the following questions: How do sounds and other sensorial stimuli (sight, smell, etc.) interact with one another to create a sense of place? How can engaging in embodied studies of perception disrupt colonial and hegemonic ways of knowing and being? This project also explores sound mapping as an embodied, decolonial method of representing the temporal transformations place and experience. In response to these questions, I argue that sound and time play a major role in forming senses of place and contribute to decolonizing places and the discipline of anthropology. I also argue that recording further attunes one to a place and can create new connections with and senses of place(s).Item The Influence of Feng Shui on Cemetery Design: A Spatial Analysis of the Chinese Cemetery in Victoria, BC(2022-07-18) Dagg, LyndsayThe Chinese Cemetery at Harling Point in Victoria, BC is the oldest Chinese Cemetery in Canada and has been recognized as a National Historic Site since 1994. However, despite the cemetery’s huge cultural and historic importance, it is poorly documented and has been the site of very little research. What is known about the cemetery is that the site was chosen because of its feng shui – the Chinese philosophy of wind and water which guided the organization of Chinese people in life and death. However, despite studies on other Chinese Cemeteries in North America discussing the feng shui of graves within each cemetery, no mention is made of the role feng shui may have played in guiding the layout of the graves at the Chinese Cemetery at Harling Point. Thus, the goal of this research is twofold: one, to analyze the layout of the cemetery using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) from a spatial archaeology viewpoint; and two, to produce a digital map of the cemetery that can be made accessible to the public, as currently no map of the cemetery is available that can act as a resource for further preservation and research.Item Charitable and Community Food Access in Greater Victoria: Understanding the Lived Experience of Mothers and Caregivers(2022-07-18) Strom Trudel, KatherineFood insecurity affects 9.6% of Canadians, meaning that individuals and families are unable to access or consume a sufficient or adequate diet quality in socially acceptable ways. Previous research has shown that in Canada, mothers and caregivers are more likely to experience food insecurity, which has negative effects on mental and physical health outcomes, social positionality, and wellbeing for them and their families. As a response to increasing food insecurity in the global North, food access services have been emerging since the 1980s in attempts to remediate the experience of food insecurity; however, there has been debate surrounding the efficacy of food access services. This research analyzes the experience of mothers and caregivers with dependents in Victoria BC who use food access services, including food banks, community food models, or food hamper services. This research argues that food access services can be improved by adopting a community-focused right to food approach in Greater Victoria to further assist mothers and caregivers in need. From the interview data of five participants, results showed that three main themes emerged with regards to experience with food insecurity in Victoria, and 15 suggestions were provided for food access organizations based on results.Item Middle Helladic Children’s Burials: Challenges Associated with Reconstructing Lived Experiences from Mortuary Contexts(2022-07-18) Martin-Damman, SallyWhile the sub-field of childhood archaeology continues to grow and make progress, the children of Greece during the Middle Helladic period (2,100-1,600 B.C.) remain understudied. The goal of this research was to use mortuary contexts from the intramural cemetery at Ancient Asine in the Argolid province in Greece to gain a better understanding of the lived experiences of children. Using mortuary data including age of the deceased, grave type, spatial arrangements and grave items from the excavation reports of Asine from the 1920’s I was unable to make any firm conclusions about why certain grave types may have been chosen or what their burial location might mean. This speaks to the way in which children were treated in archaeological excavations of the past and to the challenges that childhood archaeologists are facing now while having to use this older data to gain any perspectives from the lives of the children.Item A search for meaningful place: Lifestyle migrations and mobilities in Tofino, British Columbia(2022-07-18) Mara, GabrielThis paper focuses on the social phenomenon of lifestyle migration in connection to individuals living in Tofino, British Columbia. Based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Tofino, this paper asks the question of how participants create narratives around their lifestyle choices of neonomadic mobility. To help explore this question, three modes of analyses are applied: (1) looking to the figure of the nomad in history and as metaphor, (2) looking to contemporary forces and perceptions of being in postmodern landscapes as motivations to participate, and (3) how the embodied experience of place is felt. The study concludes that the social imaginaries of places such as Tofino both attract neonomadic travelers while also helping to perpetuating the nomadic state due to its empirical realities.Item Exploring Intertidal Stone Elements at ȾEL ̧IȽĆE/ c̓əl̓íɫč(2022-07-18) Hooton, RachelW̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən First Nations territories span throughout the southern part of Vancouver Island, where their connection to space and place has never diminished. Significant places throughout the landscape of their territories have been sustained and managed by their families since time immemorial. This project aims to support the work of Dr. Brian Thom and the W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations in recognizing ancient intertidal stone elements at ȾEL ̧IȽĆE / c̓əl̓íɫc (Cordova Bay, Victoria, British Columbia) as part of an integrated sea garden. Although the South Saanich Treaty of 1852 resulted in the movement of lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ ancestors to new locations, the living remnants of their fishing technologies and lasting legacy on the land is still present. Through the lens of sociocultural anthropology and archaeology, this project aims to substantiate the physical remains of intertidal stone elements and their connection to lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ sea garden and fishing technologies.Item Weaving threads and painting bodies: Huasteca women, clothing, and embodiment during the Late Classic to Postclassic(2021-09-27) Sanchez Balderas, Adriana FabiolaThis is an emerging analysis of the use of a cape type garment, the dhayemlaab in the Teenek language, also known as the quexquemitl in Nahuatl language, among modern Huasteca women as an analogy to an illustrative group of feminine imagery, including ceramics and sculpture, from the Huasteca region. Huasteca is located in the northeast of Mexico along the Gulf coast, and this paper will explore evidence for practices of embodiment at a time of social change in the Late Classic and Postclassic periods. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that elite women used the dhayemlaab /quexquemitl to negotiate their social position. An integrated application of perspectives on embodiment, ethnohistorical sources, ethnography, and material culture illuminate the visible role for women as active participants in ritual practices among the Huasteca. This paper seeks to understand the relationship between body and embodiment through the dhayemlaab/quexquemitl dress used by elite women in the Huasteca to negotiate their social status during the Late Classic to Postclassic period (600-1521 CE).
