Extract

For the past several years Charles Borden of the University of British Columbia has been carrying out a most promising attack on the problems of Northwest prehistory, primarily in the Fraser Delta area. Strongly influenced by the latter-day rigorous school of German archaeologists, his field work is thorough and impeccable. His short reports, published in Anthropology in British Columbia from 1950 through 1953–54 have been more than of a preliminary nature. They have taken on, increasingly, the characteristics of final interpretative statements.

*

This article, in preliminary form, was discussed by Borden, the authors, and others at an impromtu symposium held after the Northwest Anthropological Conference, in Seattle, May, 1955. The preliminary draft was given to Borden. A copy of a near-final draft was sent to Borden during the summer of 1955, in order that he might comment and use it in preparing an answer. A copy was also sent to Frederica de Laguna for her comments. We are grateful to Borden for his candid comments and, also, for suggestions which resulted in the illumination of some of our more obscure phrases. De Laguna sent a long letter which was of great aid and interest and referred us to a recent manuscript, a copy of which was loaned to us by Catharine McClellan. We are grateful to all concerned and hope that this cooperative exploration of locally important hypotheses will be of value.
