Keatley Creek is a world heritage quality site with unusually large housepits, good preservation, clear architectural features and evidence for complex socioeconomic organization.

The Pithouses of Keatley Creek was originally published by Harcourt Brace and Company in 1997. This second edition was re-published by SFU Arch Press in September, 2005.
