	abstract = {<p>The re-examination of burial material from the Eriksdale site curated in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Manitoba has revealed important insights into the Late Archaic or Middle Precontact Period of the Interlake Region in the Province of Manitoba. The remains from two individuals were analysed along with their associated artifacts. Radiocarbon dates for the individuals provided conventional dates of 3,470 \&plusmn; 40 years BP and 3700 \&plusmn; 60 years BP for the two individuals. The impressive array of artifacts associated with the human remains warranted this review and has provided unique insights in the lifestyle of individuals living in this part of the province 3,750 years ago. One of the individuals from the site has the earliest dated Pelican Lake projectile point from Manitoba, predating the generally accepted dates for this point style. The associated artifacts support the claim that during this period there was an increase in the number of continent-wide trade networks that were being established. The assemblage also included unique decorated bird bone tubes that rarely are found in the archaeological record dating to this time period. The origin of the two individuals is uncertain, but both the close proximity of the burials and the fact they are separated by more than two centuries suggest that the area was commonly lived in and traveled.</p>},
