چکیده انگلیسی
“Brush structures” are temporary wooden structures built with unmodified local materials and used as shelters by First Nation Peoples in the forests of the Yukon prior to European contact. This paper reports a preliminary attempt to date these structures using dendrochronology. Investigations were carried out of four njel (“teepee like”) structures and eight män-ku (low 2-3 sided wall structures) at four main sites. The primary material cored was poles (dead spruce trunks), often only 10-20 cm diameter, with narrow, sometimes extremely suppressed ring sequences. These structures are dated between 1865 and 1887, based on the latest (outermost) ring in the sampled material. The limited sampling and use of old wood in these structures (whether fire-kill, standing dead or reused from previous features) makes it difficult to give precise dates for the initial evidence of First Nation activity at these sites: more extensive sampling could provide further insight into the settlement history and construction techniques used. The sites investigated date from the latter half of the nineteenth century shortly before the first European gold rush to this region.
