Abstract

Two Japanese Canadian archaeological sites, initially established as logging camps around 1920, have been excavated in British Columbia. The Suicide Creek site was abandoned after a few years of use. The McKenzie Creek site likely transitioned into a residential settlement occupied by Japanese Canadians until their forced uprooting from the coastal region of western Canada in 1942. The research provides comparative data and insight into maintaining culture in the margins of urban areas and preparations for internment. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
