"A significant contribution to analytical methods in household archaeology. There are relatively few studies that can examine changes in the use of a single house structure over this much time. The careful hypothesis-testing using traditional knowledge as a frame of reference makes this study a model for others in this field." --Amber Johnson, Truman State University "The longevity and complexity of pithouse occupations at Bridge River--and potentially at other sites nearby--are profoundly interesting findings, and the balance evident in the Fraser River Valley between tendencies towards hierarchy/inequality and egalitarianism/communality is fascinating. These topics and sophisticated insights from this book are of great interest to global conversations in archaeology." --Christopher B. Rodning, Tulane University
