Excavation of a number of pit house sites at Anahim Lake in the central plateau of British Columbia has resulted in the definition of five components, the last two attributed to the Chilcotin. There are significant resemblances between these two components and Athabaskan complexes recorded elsewhere in North America. In this second part of this publication, analysis of the vertebrate remains from Potlatch site reveal much about the subsistence of the Chilcotin. Significant changes occurred in the percentage of vertebrate remains through time. Evidence of butchering and artifactual modification are discussed. Range changes of several species are of zoological interest.

Analysis of the Atigun site based on work conducted in 1973 and 1974 on the North Slope of the Central Brooks Range, Alaska. The Atigun site is marginal to both Native and Inuit territory, thus the primary concern of this analysis is the cultural affiliation of its occupants. Conclusions point to late summer occupation of the site by Athapaskans between A.D. 1400 and A.D. 1800. This period is defined as the Kavik phase.
