Consciously or not, people are considered to be outside these natural processes. Human agency is only used as an explanation for vegetation changes in the Late Holocene, following EuroCanadian settlement.

Records will need to be sampled at much higher resolution than hitherto to detect the more subtle changes in vegetation likely to arise from the activity of hunter-gatherers.

This report provides a site description of the Highwood Burial site in southern Alberta. The burial was that of a young individual, about 10 years old, whose body had been defleshed prior to burial. Interment had been in a small, sub-surface pit excavated into the bank of a high river terrace. The bones had probably been covered with red ochre and placed in a bundle. Also placed with the burial were grave goods consisting of a Pelican Lake projectile point, several other lithic tools, eleven perforated grizzly bear claws, several dozen perforated bison teeth, freshwater calm shell beads, a piece of native copper, and several exotic marine shells. A radiocarbon date indicates that the burial took place some 2,725 years ago. The Highwood site is compared with a number of other burial sites from the northern Plains, and it is concluded that a systematic manner of interring the dead was practiced in this region during the later part of the Middle Prehistoric Period. The most common, and potentially diagnostic, traits of this burial pattern are presented.

At the Duwamish site, 4SKi23, Seattle, Washington, shell lenses were collected as discrete features to provide analytic control in interpreting the variability of shell samples from larger depositional units.

This paper is about the archaeological settlement patterns generated by mid to late Holocene (ca. 5000 to 1000 cal BP) hunter-gatherer societies in the Kawarthas region of south-central Ontario. My central goal is to evaluate the extent to which the structure of the regional waterway network was a determinant influence on regional mobility and spatial interaction, and thus also the formation of persistent places used over millennia for residential and ritual purposes. To do this, I generate predictions concerning the catchment sizes of central place foraging locations and apply a simple spatial interaction model that prioritizes centrality as a critical factor influencing settlement choices in the regional waterway network. At spatial scales commensurate with daily foraging, the predictions concerning centrality exhibit statistically robust concordance with site locations, and a poor fit with random control data, supporting the model{\textquoteright}s assumptions. Furthermore, ritual places used by ancient communities for elaborate mortuary programs were found to be central at geographic scales exceeding the predicted range of residential foraging. This strengthens the hypothesis that these places were selected as a function of their strategic position within much larger geographic networks, commensurate with territorial areas and places of heighted inter-community interaction. This offers support for interpreting these locations not only as places where ritual and economic needs were entwined, but also as locations of pronounced socioecological value where tenure and access rights were signaled and reinforced by the acts of ritual placemaking.

The archaeological investigation of households has much to offer the study of prehistoric social organization. This paper compares dwelling data from one prehistoric site and two historic Tsimshian sites at Kitselas Canyon, British Columbia. It is argued that dwelling size is directly related to household size. The historic sites show a pattern of variability in dwelling size and construction that is consistent with the ethnographic Tsimshian model of ranked corporate groups. The prehistoric site, dated to circa 3000 BP, is characterized by homogeneity in dwelling size and construction. This is consistent with an egalitarian social structure.

Throughout the last two decades much has been written on the possible cause of the well documented North American late glacial large mammal extinctions. An important explanation of this mass extinction phenomenon has been to single out human hunters as a primary cause. A new look at the sequence and nature of the factual evidence reveals another possibility. Also well documented are the large mammalian and human population expansions and dispersions which occurred during and immediately following the extinction process. As ecological niches were vacated and ecosystems changed, presenting new opportunities, the megafaunal extinctions were superseded by an actual population increase and dispersion of several remaining megafaunal genera, especially bison, major human resources. I suggest that the continuing and accelerating post-extinction human population expansion was more an effect of the megafaunal extinctions than a major cause. System feedback, normal in non-equilibrium systems, including ecosystems, however, likely contributed to a coup de gr\’ce effect.

Despite four years of relatively intensive investigation, much of the site character remains poorly understood, and its full extent has not yet been determined. Nevertheless, what has been found at the site is startling, for the sheer density of material recoveries and their remarkable preservation, as well as their seemingly limitless extent.Several local rural communities have now taken an active interest in the site locality, and consider it a valuable source for future economic development in a region where drought and BSE have severely disrupted the traditional ways of making a living. Local residents have long accepted the role of academic research as a social benefit, but they are now providing significant financial support to continue that research, in expectations that a viable tourism industry will arise. However, many tasks remain before significant economic development can ensue, including resolution of land ownership, protection and preservation of the historical remains even as their economic exploitation is considered, and consultation with First Nations regarding their role in scientific interpretation and economic development of the resources.

A pilot program which explored in detail such issues as heritage potential modelling, detailed impact analysis and integrated management planning, evolved into a diverse suite of heritage management methods tailored to the needs and circumstances of each company. However, the latest work suggests that this diversification in heritage management approaches can be eliminated by considering principles set forth by the Canadian and International Standards Associations using CSA-Z808 and 809 Sustainable Forest Management System and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System specifications. The new management approach stresses the development of a process for addressing heritage concerns that can be adopted relatively easily by any forestry company, and is based upon a high degree of self-compliancy. Its advantages are that it is understandable by both heritage managers and forest industry personnel, it is highly oriented towards assistance in planning for avoidance of heritage impacts and perhaps most importantly demonstrates a high regard for heritage resources that can be used as a bulwark against national and international criticism of forestry practices. Since the management model stresses archaeological management over archaeological field studies, it can be extremely cost-effective, especially for firms which must address diverse forestry operations over large tracts of land. The management approach uses heritage potential modelling, heritage impact modeling and standard cultural resource management principles in its implementation.

In this paper, the architectural organization and hearth patterning of houses from primarily the central Northwest Coast are examined in order to assess the way in which, and the variability in which, these households were integrated. These data suggest that families within houses, despite being under one roof, were only loosely integrated in many respects, a picture that is consistent with Suttles recent analysis of ethnographic Salish shed-roof houses. Transmission of rights of access to resources appears to have been a primary integrating phenomenon in an otherwise relatively loosely-structured household economy.

The morphology and odontology of the mandible are described, and it is concluded that no specific or sub-specific taxonomic designation can be assigned. It is suggested that the mandible is of an age greater than 20,000 years, and may relate to a Pleistocene human occupation of eastern Beringia.

Archaeological questions concerning lake water levels are often related to the viability of past shoreline occupations. They become more complex when the lake\’s present \“natural\” level is unknown, as is the case at Lac M{\'e}gantic, southeastern Qu{\'e}bec, which has a 12,000-year-long cultural sequence. One lakeside site, Plage-Duquette, was occupied during two periods, 8800\–7800 and 6800\–5800 cal BP, but its low elevation raises questions about its springtime viability. In 2003, an underwater survey identified the shoreline prior to damming in 1893. Related geological analysis of a submerged terrace indicated it was exposed for hundreds or thousands of years at an unknown time in the postglacial past. This is corroborated by lake studies in the Northeast that show a drop in water levels below today\’s values between 8800 and 5100 cal BP. The 4-m difference between mid-Holocene and pre-1893 levels at Lac M{\'e}gantic gives rise to a re-evaluation of prehistoric shoreline occupations. We conclude that the level of Lac M{\'e}gantic was significantly lower during the mid-Holocene than today and that this level modifies our understanding of Plage-Duquette and other sites.

Many historic Native components have been excavated along the Severn River of northern Ontario. These span the historic period, from earliest contacts to the present century. Changes in material remains, as well as in the faunal assemblages suggest that major elements of the traditional lifestyle persisted well beyond the initial contact period. In fact, major shifts cannot be perceived archaeologically until well into the nineteenth century. In this particular instance, we might question the degree of dependence of Native people on Europeans.

This paper deals with the identification of a textile recovered in an archaeological context from the vicinity of Yale, British Columbia (site DkRi-63). While ethnographic and ethnohistoric accounts of the Coast Salish frequently mention a special breed of domestic dog whose hair was extensively utilised in the manufacture of blankets, definite identification of an existing blanket in which dog hair is an important con- stituent has been elusive. Given the deterioration of the diagnostic cuticle pattern, a different approach is taken in the identification of the fibres in this study. Stable carbon isotope analysis of the blanket reveals that the hairs are those of an animal which gained a considerable amount of its protein from marine sources (X d13C=-15.1\%. Comparison of the d13C values from the blanket fibres to those of the bones of domestic dogs from archaeological sites and to control samples strongly suggests that the specimen is indeed a Salish dog-hair blanket. Some of the implications of this finding are briefly discussed.
