Abstract

The article "Rethinking archaeology and place" explores a shift in archaeological focus from individual sites to landscapes, highlighting Indigenous efforts in British Columbia to document and preserve ancient trails as records of history and culture. By using a combination of old methods like oral history and new technologies like lidar, researchers are uncovering the significance of these trails in understanding the ancestral land and its people. The project aims to protect the Babine Trail from potential pipeline construction, emphasizing the cultural heritage embedded in the landscape. [Extracted from the article]
