Dogs were an important component of lifeways on the Northern Plains until the reintroduction of the horse following European contact. There has been little investigation into the variability of domestic canids on the Prairies and the potential of that variability as a proxy for identifying relationships between culture-historic entities. Distinguishing between sympatric canids using morphological characteristics can be challenging with degraded specimens that have high intra-specific variability, and where wolf-dog hybridization can result in transitional morphologies. Here, we present preliminary ancient DNA data on archaeological canids recovered from FM Ranch (EfPk-1) and Cluny (EePf-1) in Alberta, as well as from Lake Midden (EfNg-1) in Saskatchewan. Using the mitochondrial control region, we taxonomically reclassify zooarchaeological remains, find potential evidence of European dogs in a protocontact component, and identify preliminary indications of a distinct dog population at the Cluny site that may be of interest for determining the origin of the One Gun phase.

Discovery of a set of 1965 photographs of the Zephyr Creek rock art site, in southwestern Alberta, calls for reconsideration and reinterpretation of the site. Comparison of the early photographs with others dating to the past four decades establishes that rock art was made as recently as the mid-twentieth century, and that these images have eroded extremely rapidly. The former fact supports the argument that many of the images were made by local Stoney people who reside a few kilometres away and who were known historically to have been aware of the site. The latter fact is explained by speculation that the images were made with a pigment composed of local, iron-rich clay rather than traditional red ochre. Some of the images at Zephyr Creek may be depictions of structures associated with sundance ceremonies held by local Stoney. Historic records of rock art at the site from the early 1900s likely pertain to pictographs that are no longer visible. On-going use of a rock art site in the past century is a rare occurrence, and indicates continuation of ceremonial activity at a known site by a known group.

Millar Western Forest Products subsequently pursued development of the prototype, and implemented a final version of the heritage management process in May 2000, the first forestry company in Alberta to begin the process of achieving compliance to the Alberta Historical Resources Act. The heritage management process, developed specifically for use in Alberta, consists of a number of interrelated study components, each of which provides specific data for managing concerns in the Millar Western FMA. The key approaches in protecting resources while maintaining a viable forest harvest involve predicting where heritage resources are located, determining what forestry practices will harm them and devising a solution to prevent or minimize the chances of damaging those resources. The process follows a step-wise set of procedures that are integrated into the existing Millar Western forest management process. Once the heritage potential of a given area is known (using information from a heritage potential model) and various levels of forestry practice impacts have been determined, a heritage management prescription is produced for every forestry operation. Since heritage values are considered automatically at every stage of the planning process, there is a greatly reduced chance that heritage resources will be encountered unexpectedly, causing forestry operation delays or disruptions. Since heritage values are integrated into the forestry planning process, costs for heritage compliance are reduced and heritage values are fully protected. The double poster set illustrates how heritage potential is determined, how impacts are classified and how heritage prescriptions are assigned and used by forestry planners to avoid disturbing cultural resources in a variety of forestry and other industrial development situations.}, author = {Terrance H.

Faded and weathered pictographs have historically been difficult to record using standard documentary photography. Natural lighting produces inconsistent color and harsh lighting conditions that prevent color photographic films from capturing faint pigment colors. Films are also problematic, since most color films are comprised of unstable organic dyes that fade over time. The paper discusses the authors\&$\#$39; multiple-step photographic and computer enhancement procedure to record faded, pigmented artifacts, such as pictographs, pottery, and dyed fabric. Cross-polarized lighting selectively eliminates surface reflections, but retains internal reflections from color pigments, which enhances their capture by film-based or direct-digital cameras. Selective digital enhancement substantially increases the brightness and color saturation of cross polarized photographs. This kind of specialized photography complements other, equally important recording techniques in the quest for comprehensive documentation of faded pictographs.

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.

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.

As the biosphere continues to be degraded, archaeologists will be hard pressed to maintain a scientific archaeology in the face of excessive industrial and population growth. By deconstructing archaeology and its goals as one would peel an onion, a new stratigraphy of hidden agendas emerges. The post-processualists have identified political and ideological motives for doing archaeology, to which can be added, economic motives.

However, further deconstruction reveals ecological and spiritual concerns which are deeper than mere subsistence-ecological reconstructions and which will surface as part of the struggle for a habitable planet. Structural analysis places the archaeologist as a mediator in the nature-culture duality, while at a still more archaic level, archaeologists will likely join philosophers and theologians in developing/rediscovering new codes of ethics and spirituality which are not anthropocentric. Increased environmental activism is a predictable adjunct.

The coastal wintering sites created throughout the Canadian Arctic and Greenland by the people of the Thule culture are increasingly attracting attention from archaeologists interested in exploring questions of social organization among Arctic hunter-gatherers. The sites vary considerably in size, consisting of anywhere from one to over 60 discrete semisubterranean houses. The larger sites are often assumed to have been aggregation sites with a large resident population, analogous to the large winter aggregations documented among the Inuit by explorers and ethnographers. This paper argues that the criteria presently used to evaluate the size of the resident population at Thule winter sites - the number of winter houses; their architecture; and the degree to which they cluster together - can plausibly be expected to vary both synchronically and diachronically, and are therefore inadequate for making demographic inferences without good chronological control.

Archaeologists have been aware of culturally modified trees (CMTs) for many years, but the interpretive potential of CMTs, and their key role in the recent archaeological record, have been largely ignored.

It is apparent that important patterns in Nuu-chah-nulth history during this period are reflected in the distribution of dates from CMTs; patterns such as territorial warfare, trade, demographic trends, and acculturation.

While the recognition of cultural regionalism in the Maritime Provinces is not new, the over-extension of Northeast-wide macro traditions may have resulted in a lack of focus. The Terminal Archaic (ca.\ 3800\–3000\ BP) in the Quoddy Region of New Brunswick and Maine may be a case in point. A consideration of the Susquehanna tradition in Maine indicates that it is not a useful integrative device for the Terminal Archaic of the Quoddy Region. Rather than affiliating with the late Susquehanna tradition, sites in the Quoddy Region affiliate more with the Saint John River. Geographical circumscription, in the form of bold sea coasts that inhibited east-west coastal communication, may be involved. Canoe travel up the St. Croix River and into the Saint John and Penobscot Rivers linked the Quoddy Region with interior, riverine-oriented populations. The end result was the development of a regionally distinct littoral zone adaptation.

Excavations at the Woodpecker Island Site during the summer of 1979 have permitted a much more detailed description of the site\&$\#$39;s geology than was previously possible. The Taber Child bones came from alluvium in the lower part of a unit that records a transition from non-glacial sediments at the bottom to glacial outwash, combined with alluvium, at the top. These latter deposits were laid down close to an advancing glacier and are directly overlain by glacial deposits, including four till sheets of classical Wisconsin Age. Stratigraphy and the condition and preservation of the bones, along with type and cementation of the sand matrix that surrounded them, all indicate that the bones are old and were laid down before advance of the last glacier. Indeed, a source for the bones higher in the section seems precluded. The small amount of bone present, its porosity and the preservatives applied to it, debar its dating by normal radiocarbon or amino acid methods.

Sex ratio of prey has long been recognized as an important statistic for analysis of hunting and processing decisions made by bison hunters. Methods for assigning sex to bison bones, often involving the analysis of complete single elements such as metapodials, have been developed. Seasonal nutritional differences between the sexes may have been a factor in decision-making by hunters. Because extracting nutrition from bone requires breakage, methods that can assign sex to fragmented bones are required to test this conclusion. Sex determination equations derived from discriminant function analysis of known sex Bison bison bison for the proximal and distal ends of long bones are presented. The equations are applicable only to materials less than 6,000 years old.

This report describes a project to reproduce four Dorset Culture osseous (bone and antler) tools common at the Phillip\’s Garden site (EeBi-1), northwestern Newfoundland. Replicas of Dorset lithic tools were used to manufacture a needle, a barbed point, a harpoon head and a foreshaft-like tool. The characteristic traces generated on the osseous tools in the manufacture process were documented and compared, under low-power magnification, to archaeological examples of the same tools. There were some differences, but many similarities were noted in the comparisons. The project outcomes suggest the tentative identification of possible manufacture traces on archaeological material associated with the use of particular lithic tools, and include an evaluation of the capacities of some Dorset lithics in tool making. These results present tangible traces of Dorset tool making that suggest some conventional practices at Phillip\’s Garden, and demonstrate potential for expanding this enquiry to understand change and endurance in practices throughout the broader Dorset region.
