For the Plateau, these have most often been associated with floodplain sites. Ongoing excavation of an upper river terrace site, EeRb 144 in Kamloops, has the potential to refine the culture history of this part of the Interior Plateau and provide a more representative view of past land use. Over 130m≤ of the site has been excavated, revealing a wide array of artifacts that indicate a recurrent occupation of the terrace over at least 6,000 years. The breadth of the artifact assemblage, and the richness of the floral and faunal remains, also contribute to the potential this site offers for increasing our understanding of long-term land use along with the dynamics of the local and regional cultural systems. However, the multiple occupations that make this site so significant have resulted in disturbances that obscure activity areas and impede the recognition of specific occupation levels. This paper addresses the challenge of deciphering intra-site patterning on multiple component sites by evaluating methods that may derive sense of the chaos and ultimately enhance the culture history of the Plateau.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
