	abstract = {Since its inception in 1992, the Gwich{\textquoteright}in Social and Cultural Institute has worked to {\textquoteright}document, preserve and promote the practice of Gwich{\textquoteright}in culture, language, traditional knowledge, and values.{\textquoteright} Excavations at Martin Zheh brought these elements together at a multi-component site on the banks of the Tsiigehnjik (Arctic Red River), a major tributary of the lower Mackenzie River. Here, Gwichya Gwich{\textquoteright}in Elders and youth came together as partners in heritage conservation, sharing traditional knowledge and archaeological discovery. Five occupation layers at MeTp-4 span the past two centuries, a significant period in Gwichya Gwich{\textquoteright}in history which saw the introduction of trading posts, firearms, missions, disease, and, eventually, permanent communities. This paper provides an overview of the archaeology of MeTp-4 and examines some of the temporal changes in traditional and Euro-Canadian artifacts and faunal assemblages, in historical context.},
