dc.description.abstractThe records of both the faunal remains and artifacts recovered from the St. Mungo Cannery site in the Fraser Delta, British Columbia during 1968-1969 are analysed quan­titatively for evidence of processual cultural change. Descriptions of the site and site habitat are given, and methods used to recover, describe, and analyze the two re­cords are detailed. The patterns of variation through time are given in tables of the relative frequencies of type found in excavation units C1 and C2. Multidimensional scalo­gram analysis is used to delineate and visually present the separation of components. An attempt is made to distinguish cultural variation in the two record from non-cultural vari­ation produced by sampling procedures, and to control for the latter. The relationship between sample size and the number of artifacts and faunal types found is statistically demonstrated as a major sampling error. Some comparisons are made between the patterns of variation observed in faunal and artifact types theoretically related as evidence of par­ticular activities. The information contained in the faunal record is found to be additional swell as parallel to that contained in the artifact record.
