dc.description.abstractRural building types have been used as cultural indicators in many other studies. This study has examined log build­ings as indicators of settlement during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the Kettle Valley and Chilcotin regions of British Columbia. This study uses a methodology which exhaustively sampled the log buildings of each study area and recorded the data on photographs and a detailed checklist. An analysis of the data indicated that within each study area the form and construction methodologies showed consistent similarities which may be attributed to the development of local log building construction prac­tices. The log buildings of the Kettle Valley and Chilcotin, when considered together, indicated certain similar­ities in building type, corner notch type, roofing, and proportional shape which may signify province-wide similarities in log building construction methods. The buildings of each study area had certain specific differ­ences, which may be attributed to local design and personal initiative. This study has drawn qualitative conclusions dealing with form, function, style, the effects of the ethnicity of log buildings, the effects of available time, insight into the builder's personality, and technological regression. Concluding statements and suggestions for further research have been offered.en_US
