dc.description.abstractAn attempt is made to identify activity areas and tool kits at site DhPt lOA, in the Kootenay River Valley. The method of analysis is statistical in nature, based upon the presence or absence of specific artifact classes by excavation unit. Similarity between excavation units is measured by Driver's G and Phi and the resulting coefficient of similarity matrices formed the basis for dendrograms and a smal lest space analysis. Descriptions of the site, sampling methods , artifact typology and the methods used to analyze and interpret the distribution of artifacts are detailed. It is concluded that for site DhPt lOA, where the scatter of cultural debris is horizontally diffuse and the yield of artifacts per unit is very low that it is not possible to identify activity areas and tool kits using the methods outlined and implemented in this study.
