(Anthony P. Graesch is an anthropological archaeologist who studies the political florescence of intermediate societies in western North America. His recent fieldwork has focused on changes in the organization of Sto:lo-Coast Salish settlements in the last 600 years, with special attention to the large settlement of Welqámex in the upper Fraser Valley of southwestern British Columbia. Recent archaeological investigations at Welqámex have revealed examples of elaborate and substantial residential architecture, multiple building techniques, and evidence for defensive fortification. Home to upwards of 250-300 people, Welqámex expanded quickly in the early-mid nineteenth century and became a center of political and economic interaction in the upper Fraser Valley. High-resolution data emergent from Dr. Graesch’s household archaeological investigations are shedding new light on the spatial organization of socially stratified Sto:lo settlements and the florescence of indigenous political economies at the time of European contact.)

(Exploring ancient performance (music, dance, theater, processions, feasting) through archaeology.
