Descrição: Cross-culturally, hunter-gatherer groups rely on a storied knowledge in which named places serve as mnemonic pegs of the history and oral traditions of the group and repositories of ecological and sociological knowledge. The named places influenced the choices of human groups in the past and leaves a distinct pattern of remains in the archaeological record. A'kee Piskun, or Women's Jump, is an important, named place described in Blackfoot mythology as the place where the first marriage occurred. The archaeological signature of this important place can be seen at the individual site and larger landscape levels. By examining the evidence that EbPk-4/15 is the second Women's Jump and exploring its archaeological signature, we are able to begin to understand the Blackfoot landscape in a culturally familiar way and understand how named places can be differentiated archaeologically.
