Subdivisions

It has several subdivisions, these being:

The Cariboo and Chilcotin Plateaus are separate by the Fraser River. Chilcotin Plateau is a major subdivision of the Interior Plateau of British Columbia, also known as the Fraser Plateau The Cariboo is an Intermontane region of British Columbia along a plateau stretching from the Fraser Canyon to the Cariboo Mountains. The Bonaparte Plateau is a subarea of the larger Cariboo Plateau, which extends to the Quesnel River and lies between the Cariboo Mountains on the east Thompson Plateau, also knows as the Okanagan-Thompson Plateau occupies much of the south-west portion of the Interior Plateau of British Columbia, The Nechako Plateau is the northernmost subdivision of the Interior Plateau, one of the main geographic regions of the Canadian province of British Columbia Thompson Plateau, also knows as the Okanagan-Thompson Plateau occupies much of the south-west portion of the Interior Plateau of British Columbia, The Cariboo is an Intermontane region of British Columbia along a plateau stretching from the Fraser Canyon to the Cariboo Mountains. Chilcotin Plateau is a major subdivision of the Interior Plateau of British Columbia, also known as the Fraser Plateau For other uses of this name see Fraser River (disambiguation. The Nechako Plateau flanks the Fraser on both sides; its southern boundary is defined by the West Road River (aka the Blackwater River) and the Quesnel River, and its northern boundary are the Omineca Mountains and the Cassiar Mountains, which are two major subdivisions of the Interior Mountains. The Nechako Plateau is the northernmost subdivision of the Interior Plateau, one of the main geographic regions of the Canadian province of British Columbia For other uses of this name see Fraser River (disambiguation. West Road River or Blackwater River is a major Tributary of the Fraser River, flowing generally north-eastward from the Ilgachuz Range and across The Quesnel River is a major tributary of the Fraser River in the Cariboo District of central British Columbia. Omineca Mountains, also known as "the Ominecas", are a group of Mountain ranges in north-central British Columbia, Canada. The Cassiar Mountains are the most northerly group of the Northern Interior Mountains in the Canadian province of British Columbia.

Mountain Ranges

Several mountain ranges and hill-systems are included in the definition of this region. Among these are:

Some classifications systems assign the Pattullo Range to the Hazelton Mountains, which are part of the larger Skeena Mountains complex, but then theoretically also is the Quanchus Range. The Clear Range is a small Mountain range located in the angle of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers in south-central British Columbia.

Three areas liminal to the plateau, i. Liminality (from the Latin e. sometimes considered part of it rather than the adjoining mountain ranges, are the Shuswap Highland, Okanagan Highland and Quesnel Highland.

History of the Interior Plateau

The location of the Interior Plateau in North America is between the Great Basin and the Pacific Ocean. The Great Basin is a large arid region of the western United States. The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth 's Oceanic divisions It is cut by two rivers: the Columbia and the Fraser. The Columbia River (known as For other uses of this name see Fraser River (disambiguation. The northern region is largely wooded, with the southern being sagebrush grasslands. Grasslands (also called greenswards) are areas where the Vegetation is dominated by Grasses ( Poaceae) and other Herbaceous (non-woody

The first human presence was in 8500 BC. The 9th millennium BC marks the beginning of the Neolithic period Bison remains, Clovis and other fluted points date back to this time frame. This is an article about an animal For other uses see Bison (disambiguation. An important sites in the area is at Wenatchee site (located in Washington). Wenatchee (wɨˈnætʃi is located at the confluence of the Wenatchee and Columbia rivers near the Eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountain range in the Washington ( is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

The Windust phase is dated between 10600 BC and 7100 BC. At the Lind Coulee site in east-central Washington, leaf-shaped projectile points and knives date between 8500-5500 BC. Based on archaeological evidence, it is suggested that these people were hunters, subsisting also from fishing and plant gathering. Archaeology, archeology, or archæology (from Greek grc ἀρχαιολογία archaiologia – grc ἀρχαῖος archaīos For the computer security term see Phishing. Fishing is the activity of catching Fish. The presence of sea shells gives an indication that trading took place. A small oval shaped dwelling was also found at the Paulina Lake site in Oregon, dating to 7100 BC. Oregon ( is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

The Cascade phase took place from 7100-4300 BC, and was marked by a slight change in toolkit technology from the Windust peoples. The Old Cordilleran Culture, also known as the Cascade phase, is an ancient culture of Native Americans that settled in the Pacific Northwest that existed A residential structure was found for this group, dating between 5500-4300 BC. Within a urban area there is a tendency for land uses to Aggregate. Other pithouses followed between 4000-2000 BC. Most residential structures are located on rivers. During the historic era, plants and salmon were the staple foods, which give us an indication that Cascade groups harvested salmon runs in the summer and fall. Salmon is the common name for several species of Fish of the family Salmonidae.

The Late Period, dated to about 2500 BC, the pithouse (quiggly hole) came into existence. The 25th century BC is a Century which lasted from the year 2500 BC to 2401 BC A quiggly hole, also known simply as a quiggly or kekuli, is the remains of an underground house built by the First Nations people of the Interior Other markers of this period include the increasing number of pithouses and settlements. Fishing continued to increase, and technology advanced, introducing more specialized barb fish spears and composite toggling harpoons. Other technology was used as well, including nets and weirs.
