The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between the appearance of native copper technologies and the emergent social complexity of the Marpole Phase (2000-1100 BP). By examining collections at the American Museum of Natural History, the Canadian Museum of History, the Royal British Columbian Museum, BC Archaeology Branch records and grey literature, this thesis provides a consolidated report of the earliest evidence for native copper working on the Central Northwest Coast. The prevalence of native copper artifacts that can be confidently associated with the Marpole Phase are extremely limited in number. The evidence suggests that native copper artifacts are not exclusive to the Marpole Phase and are too limited to be u...
