Inhaltsangabe:
- Volume II: Socioeconomy presents analyses dealing with the basic social, economic, and political organization of the prehistoric community at Keatley Creek. Faunal, botanical, and lithic remains are examined in individual chapters to determine how activities were structured within housepits of different sizes (small, medium, and large). Not only does the internal organization of activities differ between small and large housepits, but the overall assemblage compositions also vary. Small housepits are relatively impoverished compared to large housepits even after assemblage size differences are taken into account. Special chapters address prestige artifacts, evidence for ownership of fishing sites, the role of domesticated dogs at the site, heating strategies used in the pithouses, and architectural reconstructions. Summary chapters deal with inferences about the overall prehistoric socioeconomic organization at the site, the relative level of complexity of the community, and a reconstruction of life at the site
