Barrow Cemetery in British Columbia.
4000 year old burial site, referred to as an ancient chieftain burial site, for the individual found in 2010, a man buried with roughly 350,000 stone handcrafted stone beads.
Excavations have been pursued through a partnership with the Sechelt Indian Band (SIB), Canadian Museum of Civilization and the University of Toronto. This a particularly important time period as it marks a change in cultural complexity and the rise of material inequality among the northwest indiginous people.
