Our recent book, \"Athapaskan Migrations: The Archaeology of Eagle Lake, British Columbia\" (Matson and Magne 2007) is mainly a synthesis of the fieldwork conducted on the Interior Plateau of British Columbia between 1979 and 1985 and analyses carried out at that time and more recently. It is also an attempt to place this B.C. material within the context of our knowledge of the large scale Athapaskan migrations across most of western North America. Here we provide clarifications about our research, report recent analytical results, and discuss conceptual advances that we believe can yield increased understanding of migrations.

Thirty-five years ago Thelma Habgood described a faint pictograph at the Grotto Canyon site in southwestern Alberta as a possible \“Kokopelli\” image. Polarized light photography undertaken in 2001 has greatly enhanced the pictograph panel, clearly revealing a possible fluteplayer motif and anthropomorphs that resemble the southwestern Fremont style. Even though certain elements of the panel may have been created at different times, we conclude that the site may be related to Hopi traditions concerning northward travels of the Flute Clan, although other explanations certainly cannot be discounted.

The use of cannabis, narcotics, and other intoxicants is widespread within North American prisons, where do-it-yourself instruments are fashioned, used, traded, discarded, and/or confiscated. This cycle contributes to the long-term record of material culture and provides an opportunity to study innovations employed by incarcerated persons.

The collection of drug paraphernalia dates between 1971 and 1983 and represents a palimpsest of curated items confiscated by correctional officers. By drawing upon actor-network theory and a folkloric approach to the material assemblage, we situate this local assemblage within the larger carceral context wherein individuals {\textquotedblleft}make do.{\textquotedblright} These objects speak to longstanding and widely shared technological traditions, an accomplished do-it-yourself ethic amongst those incarcerated, and the complex entanglement of criminality, carceral practices, and drug use.

The use of plant resources in two Northern Tsimshian habitation sites-Ginakangeek (GbTh-2) and Psacelay (GbTh-4)-can be mapped from recovered floral seed remains of three berries, most notably red elderberries (Sambucus racemosa). Seed remains recovered from occupational surfaces and midden deposits represent both the spatial distribution of plant-related activities and the relative frequency of plant use through the contact era, from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. We argue that these data demonstrate a correspondence between the spatial and social organization of Northern Tsimshian households and present evidence of the changing role of subsistence economics of the extended family network through contact with Europeans and the rise of a market economy.

Tsimshian oral records, called adawx, provide an example of the storytelling capacity within a system that has structuring and, thus, historically translatable referents. Although many can be anticipated, here I focus on chronological order and the creation of a relative sequence of events in the adawx that provide an index to history and the most obvious conjunction to archaeological analyses. I argue that the use of significant moments in history as a means of creating chronological order in oral records may be a universal attribute of cultural historiography that is derived from our use of events as touchstones of memory, a phenomenon that seems to be an aspect of all contextualizations of history.

The content of archaeological theory is both internally diverse and, as an enterprise, situated within an array of interpretive frameworks that account for and explain history and its source, culture. Contemporary archaeology emerges from various cultural contexts, meaning that our ability to identify vulnerabilities to ethnocentrism may be challenging, if it is even considered. Following feminist and indigenous scholarship, we argue that all archaeology is oriented to some community and propose a taxonomy of archaeologies based on cultural proximity between archaeologist and subject, proximity which itself emerges from philosophical concurrence that we attribute to less-discursive forms of knowledge transmission within and between individuals. We conclude that 1) all archaeological approaches to historical causality can be accommodated within a proximate/ultimate distinction, and 2) that different cultural understandings of history are both historically causal and most productively arranged laterally in a federated scheme. We conclude that the primary archaeological ambition, to understand history, is best served by attention to navigation across these borders.

Due to the rich archaeological, ethnohistorical, and art historical evidence available for the study of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, this region has been the subject of numerous gender studies. Scholars from the University of Calgary have been at the forefront of this movement, beginning with the 1989 Chacmool conference, The Archaeology of Gender, the first international gathering on the subject.

Diabase picks with ground tips were found at two Thule Eskimo sites (A.D. 1100-1300) in the central Canadian Arctic. These picks were probably used to manufacture stone cooking vessels of local dolomite. Similar pecked dolomite surfaces can be created experimentally with hand-held or hafted diabase picks. This Thule vessel manufacturing technique is similar to that used in shaping steatite vessels in the eastern and western U.S. Dolomite vessels appear most frequently at Thule sites in the central Canadian Arctic, whereas pottery vessels are common in the western Arctic and steatite vessels are common in the eastern Arctic. Local dolomite was probably used for containers where pottery and steatite were available in only limited quantity. Heavy dolomite vessels would typically be left at permanent winter village sites when Thule Eskimos left for spring-summer activities elsewhere. The presence of nonlocal pottery and steatite at these and similar sites reflects widespread trade networks for the movement of these materials.

Prehistoric archaeologists are confronted by a growing world-wide movement by indigenous peoples to reclaim their history and heritage. In some countries, this movement has resulted in significantly decreased access by archaeologists to the basic data of their study. Recent statements by Canadian Indian leaders indicate that prehistoric archaeology in Canada may soon be similarly constrained. The argument for such constraint will be based on the contention that archaeological interpretations of the past denigrate native cultural heritage and belief, and contribute to the cultural and social problems of contemporary native communities. Archaeologists should be aware of the divergences between archaeological interpretations of the past and those of native leaders; the question of Indian origins is discussed as an example of such divergence.

The association of particular materials with certain classes of artifacts suggests that selection of raw materials may have involved other than empirically functional criteria. It is suggested that these materials may have had symbolic, as well as purely functional, attributes in the minds of Thule craftsmen, and that these attributes may have been part of a symbolic system ancestral to that which can be derived from an interpretation of historic Inuit myth and custom.

The Dundas Island Archipelago of north coastal British Columbia lies close to a sea level \“hinge\” between two regions with very different sea level histories during the Pleistocene/Holocene transition: as much as a 200 m vertical shoreline regression to the east and a 150 m vertical shoreline transgression to the west. Based on diatom identifications from lake-basin cores, combined with supporting relative sea level indicators, we developed a sea level curve for the Dundas Islands which shows a slow regression of shorelines from +13 m down to modern levels over the last 12,000 years. This sea level history was used to aid survey for archaeological sites dating to the pre-5000 B.P. period. Test excavation and sampling of these sites showed occupation along the regressive shoreline beginning as early as 9690 B.P. The elevations, stratigraphy, and radiocarbon ages of the archaeological materials are consistent with the relative sea level curve based on palaeo-environmental data points. This research methodology has yielded the first early Holocene archaeological data from Coast Tsimshian territory with potential to push the archaeological record back into the Pleistocene epoch.

Understanding the broad patterns of cultural processes on the Northwest Coast requires specific studies of local variability. This paper draws on ethnographic and archaeological data to examine changing patterns of maritime resource use in one locality: Barkley Sound, western Vancouver Island. We examine three excavated village sites, focusing on Ts\’ishaa (DfSi\–16 and \–17). Large village communities emerged on an economic base characterized by a wide range of marine resources. Salmon, however, played a relatively minor role in the economy until the final precontact stage (ca. 750 to 300 cal BP), when it increased considerably in importance. Various lines of evidence suggest that this shift reflects changing resource use and territorial access in Barkley Sound as local groups amalgamated and adopted a seasonal pattern of mobility.

The Nuu-chah-nulth of western Vancouver Island used lookout sites on small outer-coast islands to observe the movements of sea mammals and canoes, and later the trading ships arriving with cargoes of new goods. A trench excavated across the upper surface of one such site yielded an artifact assemblage typical of late Nuu-chah-nulth sites, along with radiocarbon dates indicating use over the few centuries prior to contact with Europeans. Three artifacts of introduced materials reveal that this location continued in use into the early decades of contact. Copper and California abalone shells ({\textquotedblleft}Monterey shells{\textquotedblright}) were two of the earliest and most important trade materials during the maritime fur trade. Indigenous demand was for the raw material, which was re-worked into decorative items of traditional form. The excavation results provide a rare glimpse into this early contact period, with no admixture of later manufactured objects. Ethnohistoric and ethnographic sources provide context to interpret these discoveries.

Investigation into the production and distribution of craft goods has long been an important focus in archaeological research. This is partly due to the pattern of increasing labour specialization correlated with increasing disparities in socioeconomic inequality\—an important transition in human history. This paper focuses on existing systems of social hierarchy and how craft specialization shaped domestic activities and social position. More specifically, we examine embedded production at the late pre-Columbian center of He-4 in the Central Region of Panama and argue that it played an important role in maintaining elite access to prestige goods. Through a consideration of the social context of production in elite households, it is argued that embedded specialization is more likely to develop during periods of intense sociopolitical competition.

North-American typologies for identifying and dating French faience, i.e., French tin-glazed earthenware (seventeenth\– eighteenth centuries) from colonial contexts are based on restrictive and often misleading regional categories that can lead to erroneous interpretations. Since the 1980s, the archaeology of French production sites aided by archaeometric studies revealed that: first, the faience production landscape was more complex than it seemed but also that the shape/decoration-production centre correlation was not appropriate to identify the productions. As a result of our research on the reference collection of Place-Royale in Quebec City, we suggest the use of 19 alternative chrono-thematic types. Furthermore, we should take into consideration three times more probable areas of production and harmonize the vocabulary used on both sides of the Atlantic, basing it on visual stylistic and descriptive comparisons rather than on geographical criteria.

Henry Kelsey and Anthony Henday were Hudson\&$\#$39;s Bay Company employees who traveled through east-central Saskatchewan in 1690-1692 and 1754-1755, respectively, but their actual routes are uncertain. We have approached this problem by reconstructing the regional 18th-century Aboriginal sociopolitical groups and their travelways. With this information, and route descriptions and place names provided by Kelsey and Henday, we propose the most likely routes they traveled through the lands of the Basquia, Sturgeon, and Pegogamaw Crees. Within these lands, a network of trails and waterways led to hunting and gathering areas, to spiritually charged sites, and to seasonal meeting places. Trails also led between these nations and it appears that Kelsey was escorted along a major trail that connected the Basquia and Sturgeon while Henday was taken along one that led between the Basquia and Pegogamaw Crees. In east-central Saskatchewan, a number of prominent archaeological sites have been recorded on or near some of these ancient trails. The existence of such travelways and their relationships to ancient cultural landscapes should be considered carefully in the course of ongoing archaeological fieldwork in this region.

The Goldsworthy site, located in east central Saskatchewan, is associated with ancient fishing weirs on the Barrier River, an upper tributary of the Red Deer River. Most of this very large site is presently a cultivated field and, for several decades now, it has been subjected to surface collecting by both professional and avocational archaeologists, as well as souvenir hunters. The large artifact recoveries include some hundreds of potsherds, the bulk of which can be assigned to the Late Woodland period and the results of the study of this material are presented here. A small amount of this pottery is Blackduck, Selkirk and Mortlach; however, most of it (representing 38 vessels) has been identified as Duck Bay ware of the Rainy River composite, best known from Lakes Winnipegosis and Manitoba to the east. While the Duck Bay Stamp type is represented by only one vessel, the Duck Bay Notched, Duck Bay Decorated Lip and Duck Bay Undecorated vessels are well represented. Significantly, a subset of seven vessels has Selkirk traits - particularly decoration by a single punctate row on the outer rim or neck. Six of these vessels are identified as Rainy River-Selkirk syncretisms and are considered to reflect the strong presence of Selkirk along and about the Saskatchewan River valley to the north.

The Goldsworthy site is proposed as an ingathering centre at which the members of a regional band came together during the spring fishery. Based on the pottery, the members of this band are identified as the most westerly of those peoples who produced Rainy River composite material culture. Since this regional band occupied the Red Deer River basin, there was a direct water route to Lake Winnipegosis, and evidently this facilitated ongoing interaction with culturally related peoples there.

The Niska site (DkNu-3) is situated in southwestern Saskatchewan, about midway between the towns of Ponteix and Aneroid. Cultivation and subsequent wind erosion have resulted in the disturbance and exposure of a substantial Paleo-Indian component here. A number of artifacts, obviously related to the Cody complex, were collected here in the 1970\&$\#$39;s and early 1980\&$\#$39;s by a local avocational archaeologist, Henri Liboiron. These tools included two stemmed projectile points, four Cody knives, and numerous endscrapers (several with lateral spurs). Testing of this site area by Saskatchewan Research Council archaeologists in 1982 resulted in the identification of some remaining areas of intact Paleo-Indian occupation. Since these archaeological remains appear to be of considerable significance and as they were in danger of disturbance due to cultivation and wind erosion, a small-scale excavation was conducted here in May of 1983. Two ares of in situ Paleo-Indian occupational remains were exposed. These remains were positioned within a well-defined paleosol in an area of aeolian sand deposits. Three projectile point stems were found in the course of excavation as well as six endscrapers, a combination perforator/concave uniface and much debitage. Like the tools, the latter was of fine-grained siliceous materials, including brown chalcedony (Knife River Flint), porcellanite and jasper. Faunal remains were numerous, albeit fragmentary; the latter condition a result of deliberate breakage by the site occupants, followed by deterioration through time. Those remains which could be identified to species were all bison. One of the excavation blocks exposed much of a well defined habitation area, centred on a concentration of burned and calcined bone fragments which is interpreted as a hearth location. A knapping area was situated on the north side of this hearth while an endscraper, a point stem fragment and many raw bone fragments on the south side of the hearth provide evidence of other activities there. Flecks and larger bits of a red paint material were scattered across the habitation area. Raw bone from this excavation block has been dated to 7,165 B.P. while a paleosol sample has dated at 7,000 B.P. These dates are considered to be at least a millenium too recent. While the Niska site assemblage is obviously within the \&$\#$39;Scottsbluff Tradition\&$\#$39;, the style of its projectile points differentiates it from described complexes such as Cody and Little Gem. Questions remain, therefore, regarding the dating of this Paleo-Indian component and its cultural relationship to other complexes in the Scottsbluff Tradition.

Excavations at three sites in east central Saskatchewan have produced Middle Woodland assemblages that have been employed to describe the River House complex. Surface collections and smaller scale excavations in eastern Saskatchewan, as well as surface collections from the Swan River region of adjacent Manitoba, provide evidence that this complex is present in a broad region straddling the inter-provincial border. The associated pottery was sometimes decorated with punctates and/or bosses, or with complex motifs of cord-wrapped stick impressions. With this pottery are side-notched and triangular arrowheads, bifacial cutting tools, endscrapers and ground stone celts. The excavated faunal remains reflect occupation during open water seasons. Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dates indicate a time range of ca. AD 800\–1200.

The closest cultural relationships of the River House complex are with late Laurel complexes in the forests of Manitoba, north\­western Ontario and adjacent Minnesota. However, there is also evidence for regular interaction with peoples of Avonlea culture.

The Mudrick site, located in the aspen parkland of north central Saskatchewan, was surface collected by Thomas Smith and Victor Vigrass in the 1950s and 1960s. They recovered hundreds of potsherds as well as arrowheads, end scrapers, biface knives and two ground stone celts. The majority of the 18 vessels represented by the potsherds are Winnipeg Fabric-impressed ware, characteristic of the Selkirk composite. Selkirk components are common in the northern forests but rare in the parklands of Saskatchewan. The southward move of forest-adapted people appears to have been facilitated by amicable social and political relations with parkland residents as indicated by the presence of some Wascana and Mortlach pottery as well as southern lithic materials in the Mudrick assemblage. This southward movement during Selkirk times (ca.\ A.D.\ 1300\–1700) appears to presage the expansion onto the Plains of forest peoples (Crees) in the subsequent fur trade period.

The Below Forks site (FhNg-25) is situated on a point bar terrace in the Saskatchewan River valley. The deepest component, dated to 6100\ B.P., was focused on a hearth in association with thousands of pieces of debitage and faunal fragments. It produced a Gowen type point and a variety of stone tools, including grinding stones. Hide processing, core reduction and preform shaping were major activities, with most of the lithic materials procured from deposits of cobbles lining the river\’s edge.

The diverse biotic communities of the site area, as indicated by geoarchaeological studies, as well as the abundant lithics, produced a rich environmental \“patch\”. Immature bison remains suggest a spring or early summer occupation and it appears that the site occupants travelled here to replenish their toolstone depleted in the course of the winter. Below Forks was a locale occupied by the members of a well-established, successful regional society in the course of their seasonal movements through a large section of central Saskatchewan.

Seven trapezoidal stone pendants have been recovered from an exposed hearth at Pasquatinow, a traditional Aboriginal habitation location on the Saskatchewan River in east-central Saskatchewan. The suspension holes were produced with a metal bit, evidence that these pieces date to historic times. Such stone pendants are a unique occurrence in the archaeological record of central Saskatchewan, although a shell pendant has been recovered from a regional Selkirk site and metal pendants are present in fur trade posts dating to the late 1700s. Trapezoidal pendants of stone, bone, and shell have been recovered in late precontact and protocontact contexts on the Plains to the south of Pasquatinow. Historically, those made in Middle Missouri villages were of glass and functioned in the context of certain ritual observances. The Pasquatinow pendants may have played a part in a similar complex of spiritual beliefs.

This paper presents an approach to the analysis of Iroquoian ceramics that goes beyond the traditional normative creation of ethno-chronological typologies to consider pottery as a dynamic material shaped by, and in turn shaping, complex webs of human and material interactions. To accomplish this goal I consider how the shell-tempered pots that appeared in some Neutral Iroquoian villages in the late 16th and 17th centuries AD have been interpreted. I discuss both the hypothesis that they had been made by Fire Nation captives-a typical interpretation in Ontario archaeological writings-and the possibility that they were better suited for cooking maize-an interpretation appearing in archaeometric considerations of northeastern North American shell-tempered pottery. I argue that both interpretations are limited and offer instead an approach inspired by recent writings in ethnoarchaeological ceramic studies, social theory, and the social nature of technology.

In this paper, we consider how institutions of kinship facilitated the integration of peoples originating in the St.\ Lawrence Valley into ancestral Huron-Wendat communities in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries AD. We present some general principles regarding the role of kinship in structuring social relations, processes of population movement, and the integration of newcomers. Data on the distributions and frequencies of characteristic St. Lawrence Iroquoian artifacts on four ancestral Huron-Wendat village sites in Ontario, Canada are utilized to infer the scale of population movement and processes of incorporation into lineages and clan segments. We argue that interpretive frameworks that explicitly incorporate categories and institutions of relatedness with traditional material culture analyses can shed new light on how groups of newcomers of varying scale and composition were integrated into Huron-Wendat households and communities.

In the eastern Canadian Arctic, a shift in toolstone selection strategies from Pre-Dorset (4500\–2800 B.P.) to Dorset (2500\– 1000 B.P.) has been interpreted as one line of evidence indicating culture change within the Palaeo-Eskimo continuum. Pre-Dorset toolmakers appear to have relied on readily available local cherts while Dorset toolmakers were more discriminating, frequently using scarce or non-local toolstones such as chalcedony from northern Labrador, crystal quartz, and nephrite, among others. Our recent analysis of a debitage assemblage from LeDx-42, a multi-component Palaeo-Eskimo site located in the interior of southern Baffin Island, aimed to see if similar raw material signatures could be isolated using a newly developed methodological approach for sourcing chert toolstone. One of our objectives in this preliminary study was to evaluate if diversity in chert selection strategies could be used as a proxy to assess possible links between cultural affiliation and activity areas within the site. This paper describes the sourcing protocol and discusses our results as they relate to the Palaeo-Eskimo exploitation of chert toolstone at LeDx-42.

The Dorset Palaeo-Eskimos are traditionally interpreted as specialized marine hunters whose adaptation focused on the exploitation of coastal resources. Accordingly, archaeologists have assumed that the inland/coastal seasonal mobility that characterized their Pre-Dorset predecessors decreased significantly, if not altogether, and that the terrestrial ecosystem figured less prominently in the Dorset way of life. However, several inland Dorset sites identified in the deep interior of southern Baffin Island appear to contradict this assumption; this paper describes these sites and their associated remains. Based on this information, it appears that Dorset populations in this region continued to travel long distances to the deep interior where they intensively hunted caribou and exploited local lithic resources.

When conducting lithic debitage analyses, archaeologists commonly draw study samples from larger assemblages rather than examining every single flake. However, the size of these samples and the methods used to draw them are variable. This paper examines how unsystematic sampling procedures used in debitage analysis can skew site interpretations. An alternative sampling strategy devised specifically for measuring debitage variability is proposed. To test its effectiveness, this strategy is applied to the Sandy Point (LlDv\–10) debitage assemblage. Results obtained from a 100 percent sample, a sample drawn using the proposed method, and a 20 percent disproportionate stratified random sample are compared. This comparison indicates a sample drawn using the proposed strategy yields results that are entirely consistent with those derived from studying the entire assemblage. Furthermore, it demonstrates that samples drawn using randomly selected percentages are frequently inadequate thus increasing the potential of yielding spurious results.

This paper summarizes the results of basic faunal identification and quantification at the Ma\’acoah Site (DfSi\–5) from Barkley Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Trends in faunal exploitation over time within the site are considered, and the relation of this assemblage to those of neighbouring sites is discussed. Three periods of faunal deposition are noted, with the most recent showing a dramatic increase in the abundance of taxa that are ethnographically described as important to the Nuu-chah-nulth. In particular, the recent increase in salmon and herring and corresponding decline in rockfish is noted. The data suggest that complex demographic and social processes have been ongoing among the Nuu-chah-nulth and that their subsistence and settlement patterns are equally complex and variable over time and space.

This paper presents three typologies of stone celts from British Columbia based on morphology, mineralogy and culture historical affiliation. These typologies should aid archaeologists in classifying celts and understanding their regional patterns of distribution. This study is based on a large sample of celts (n\ =\ 1,374) from more than 139 archaeological sites across British Columbia. Mineralogical identification of celts was undertaken using Near-Infrared Spectrometry (NIR). Celt manufacturing technique was found to be closely associated with the raw material used. The results here do not find support for entrenched descriptions of changes in celt morphology through time. Unexpectedly, the Canadian Plateau provided the best evidence for the use of a special type of very large nephrite/jade celts as prestige goods. The results here do not find support for entrenched descriptions of changes in celt morphology through time. Celt abundance was found to vary markedly over the last 3,500 years in the Salish Sea region, with a notable dearth of celts contemporaneous to the depopulation of the Mid-Fraser region around 1000 B.P. This evidence underscores the importance of the appropriate scale of analysis when interpreting local patterns of cultural change.

This article examines differences in prehistoric Northwest Coast technologies primarily by means of an experimental study in salmon butchering. Five prehistoric and ethnographic tool types-bifacial knives, cobble spalls, ground slate knives, ground mussel shell knives, and hafted microflakes-were replicated and then used to process quantities of salmon for drying. A design theory framework is used in conjunction with basic experimental methods in an attempt to understand and explain various constraints influencing dominance of each tool type in a particular region. It is hypothesized that some tools only functioned for one or a few of the discrete tasks required to properly process a salmon, and that combinations of such tools must have been used in the past to process salmon for preservation. It is further argued that the distribution of particular tool types was influenced by raw material availability, timing of salmon runs, and intensity of harvesting and preservation.

The results strengthen chronological control on the local mid-Wisconsinan geological history and contribute to paleobiological studies of the taxa dated. Most of the dates were taken on bones that were altered when fresh in ways suggestive of tool production. We interpret the distribution of these samples as supporting the hypothesis that people lived in eastem Beringia during mid-Wisconsinan time.

Widely advertised theoretical and methodological deficiencies in counts of identified specimens (NISP) and the minimum number of individuals (MNI) have prompted a search for alternate methods of estimating taxonomic abundance in faunal remains. Most proposed alternatives have merely represented modifications or \&$\#$39;refinements\&$\#$39; of the MNI count outlined by Theodore White thirty years ago (White 1953). Modifications by Chaplin (1971) and Krantz (1968) are examined in this paper. Recently, an alternative, based on the Peterson index, has been proposed by Fieller and Turner (1982). Based on capture-recapture techniques used in the biological sciences, the Peterson index is superior to other proposed methods, because it is statistically well founded on the hypergeometric distribution and can be framed by data-based confidence intervals. Despite these advantages, the actual use of this estimate is limited by a number of practical exigencies that will undoubtedly force zooarchaeologists to continue to use NISP and MNI counts as abundance measurements of last resort. The assumptions and requirements for the use of the Peterson index, and the \&$\#$39;behaviour\&$\#$39; of this variable as compared with NISP and the methods of White, Chaplin, and Krantz, are illustrated with microtine rodent data from Bluefish Cave I, northern Yukon Territory.

A digital database of radiocarbon dates from Canadian archaeological and vertebrate paleontological sites addresses the need to correct some dates for the effects of isotopic fractionation. Such a correction, called normalization, was included by Stuiver and Polach (1977) in their definition of conventional age. The correction formulae proposed by Stuiver and Polach are evaluated in the light of approximately 800 measurements of delta 13C reported during the last two decades. The measurements provide good support for the formulae which are adopted, with minor modifications, to normalize ages in the Canadian database.

These apparently contradictory data led us to reevaluate the archaeological assemblage, with particular attention to the obsidian artifacts. Our geochemical and hydration analyses suggest that the Irish Creek assemblage is approximately 5000 years old, consistent with an artifact assemblage that contains microblade technology but lacks ground stone. The persistence of microblade technologies in the Alexander Archipelago of southeast Alaska accords with patterns described for the larger northern Northwest Coast region.

Rogers Ossuary (AgHb-131) is a communal burial feature located in south Brantford. The ossuary was excavated ca. 1935 on at least two occasions by, J.C.B Grant of the University of Toronto, and later by Dr. Wilfred Jury of the University of Western Ontario. No known artifacts were recovered from the site. In subsequent years the site lost its identity and its location was forgotten, although the collection retained its integrity. In 1988 archival research and personal interviews led to the rediscovery of the site\&$\#$39;s location. An osteological analysis was undertaken, the results of which suggest that Rogers Ossuary was a multiple burial feature of at least 28 individuals. Radiocarbon dating from bone collagen provided invaluable data for the placement of the people within a correct cultural context. Two collagen fraction samples produced C-14 dates of 1110 \±60 BP placing the Rogers Ossuary material within Wright\&$\#$39;s (1966) Early Ontario Iroquois tradition.

Extended terrestrial geomorphic sequences that host well-dated depositional evidence of early to mid-Holocene human interactions with the physical landscape are relatively scarce on the northern Plains. The paucity of such records hampers studies that aim to examine human adaptations to environmental changes in the region during the Hypsithermal (ca.\ 9,000{\textendash}4,500 years ago). Where deposits occur, the absence of well-preserved contemporaneous organic material for radiocarbon dating highlights the need for alternative chronometers. In this study, we present new absolute chronologies from three archaeological sites in an eolian dune landscape in east-central Alberta that we determined using optically stimulated luminescence dating. The results show that between ca.\ 11,000{\textendash}2,000 years ago,\  the local landscape evolved through recurrent episodes of instability, interspersed with periods of soil development. The findings allow us to provide new insights on Holocene landscape evolution in the area and examine adaptations humans made to cope with the Hypsithermal environment, as evidenced by archaeological materials associated with hunting and camping.

Investigations on the Canadian Plains have been unsuccessful in differentiating between pre-contact projectile points recovered from One Gun phase sites\—an intrusive group to the region\—and points from the locally defined Cayley series, which are frequently used as diagnostic markers of the Old Women\’s phase. This paper uses a variety of statistical methods to investigate similarities between points from the One Gun phase Cluny site, and points from the uppermost levels (Old Women\’s phase) of the Head Smashed-In Buffalo Jump site. Metrics were collected on digital images from direct 2-D point scans to promote consistency, accuracy, and replicability. While population level differences were found, individual specimens could not be identified to their respective phase. In this case, projectile points are not reliable variables for linking components with phases in the protohistoric period, which suggests that the point type may be best described as a horizon style.

Presenting research in an imaginative format that the public can easily understand is a problem archaeologists have not adequately examined. The vinylite resin method of soil consolidation offers a means of incorporating an in situ excavation into an exhibit for interpreting archaeological method and theory to the public. Such displays help demonstrate the importance of archaeological research to the understanding of cultural history.
