DESCRIPTION:Lunch Club provides affiliates of the Stanford Archaeology Cent
 er with a community-oriented forum for engagement with current issues in ar
 chaeology. On February 25\, 2026\,  we will host Dr. Camilla Speller from t
 he University of British Columbia.\n\nAbstract:\n\nPacific salmon have been
  a cornerstone of Indigenous cultures and economies in the Pacific Northwes
 t for millennia. This talk presents collaborative research that integrates 
 biomolecular archaeological methods with Indigenous knowledge to investigat
 e the deep history of Indigenous fisheries stewardship prior to colonial di
 sruption. In partnership with First Nations communities\, we document how t
 raditional stewardship practices supported sustainable salmon populations\,
  even under changing environmental conditions. Using ZooMS and ancient DNA 
 analysis\, we analyze archaeological salmon bones to explore questions of b
 iodiversity\, resilience\, and fishing strategies—including evidence for se
 x-specific harvesting—across changing environmental conditions. By centerin
 g Indigenous research priorities and collaborative approaches\, this work h
 ighlights how biomolecular archaeology can contribute to Indigenous-led cul
 tural heritage research\, deepen our understanding of past human-environmen
 t interactions\, and support Indigenous governance over ancestral fisheries
