	abstract = {<p>Over the past twenty years, the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in archaeology has transformed the way spatial data are collected, stored, and analysed. The adoption of GIS into archaeology, however, has been uneven. On the Northwest Coast, the full potential of GIS has yet to be realized, both as a tool for data management and for analysis of landscapes at multiple scales. In this paper, we present results from recent research in Prince Rupert Harbour, where we combine archaeological data, GIS analyses, and social questions to explore important issues in Northwest Coast archaeology. This project demonstrates that regional patterns of interaction and change in settlement through time in Prince Rupert Harbour are closely tied to social relations, historical contingencies, and memory. We argue that a theoretically robust application of GIS to archaeological data is an important area of research on the Northwest Coast and has significant implications for conclusions we draw about social dynamics and interaction in the past.</p>},
