VRM present in limestone and basalt has successfully been used to date medieval buildings relatively, which has led to the development of VRM dating. In conjunction with historical records, pertaining to these medieval buildings, several chronometric curves have been developed in Britain for different limestones. The depositional origin of a limestone will affect its magnetic mineralogy, and thus individual chronometric curves must be established. One such chronometric curve has been developed from VRM dating of the local Jurassic limestone for Bardney and Barlings Abbeys of Lincolnshire, England. Kirkstead Abbey of Lincolnshire, England, is constructed from limestone of the same origin as the two abbeys above, although no previous dating of this building has been attempted. In this discussion, VRM dating results are presented for Kirkstead Abbey. Historical records and the established chronometric VRM dating curve for Bardney and Barlings Abbeys indicate that Kirkstead Abbey was established around AD 1000 - 1200 and likely incorporated reused Roman and Saxon masonry. The chronometric VRM dating curve for Bardney and Barlings Abbeys is evaluated, based on the results obtained from Kirkstead Abbey.

BP. Identified seeds include those from aquatic (Potamogeton, Zannichellia palustris) and wetland (Scirpus) taxa that suggest the presence of permanent, if somewhat brackish, water. At present, the area has few sources of permanent water on upland surfaces, especially in mid-summer. Other identified macroremains include Scirpus validus/autus, Ranunculus sceleratus, Ceratophyllum demersum, Hippuris vulgaris, Boraginaceae, Chenopodium spp., Graminae, Polygonum, Cyperaceae undiff., Typha latifolia seeds, and Rumex periaths.

The assemblage also includes a few specimens from land snails (Vallonia, Succinea, and Vertigo). Above the Cody-complex levels, there is a transition to clastic (windblown?) sediment which is essentially sterile. This sediment infilled the wetland hollow. The Fletcher site record is one of a series of new palaeoenvironmental records that also includes the Jenner and Weber Dugouts (constructed for cattle watering) in Southeastern Alberta. These sites have yielded wood, including aspen, dated between 10,150 and 9,800 yr. BP. Together, these three records are providing a more complete picture of early postglacial landscapes (ca. 11,000-9,000 yr.

In particular, they suggest that early postglacial landscapes were well-watered, despite indications of climatic aridity from elsewhere. Water may have been derived from melting residual ice and permafrost contributions to groundwater. The Fletcher site shows that there may have been more (fresher) water sources on the Canadian Plains in the early postglacial than at any time since. Perennial water and productive wetlands may have been attractive for human occupants, especially in summer.

Twelve worked human skull pieces, four altered long bones, and modified skulls and long bones with nine skeletons are described in detail for the Prince Rupert Harbour region, British Columbia. The 25 items, excavated from seven sites, mainly date from 1000 B.C. to A.D. 500. Although three long bones suggest modifications for possible tool use, the majority of items, mainly cranial, apparently lack utilitarian form. Ethnographic references to the ritual use of human corpses and skeletal parts among various coastal British Columbia historic groups suggest that the Prince Rupert Harbour finds may be parallel indicators in the prehistoric record.

By the mid 1980{\textquoteright}s, when the consultant industry and MCC review staff had begun to participate in a large scale in the developrnent review sector, it was increasingly apparent that minimal requirements for field and reporting activities were needed. Thus MCC and the consultant industry, as well as representatives from archaeological organizations, the development sector and municipal approval authorities, began discussing the means to develop technical guidelines for development review generated assessment and mitigation activities. In 1988 a draft guideline was developed to define minimal standards for field assessments, and for the reports written as a result of those activities. This guideline has provided archaeological consultants with minimal standards to follow and MCC staff with an objective base from which to evaluate reports. The development sector has also been provided with a description of what they generally could expect of the archaeologist hired to fulfil cultural heritage conditions on a development proposal. During the past 5 years use of this document, limitations have become apparent, and subsequent revisions have attempted to address these matters. Efforts have also been made to develop a mitigation guideline to provide minimal standards for excavation and avoidance methodologies in this development review context.

It is unlikely that all kinds of medicine wheels served the same purpose (Brumley 1988). The Majorville Medicine Wheel in Southern Alberta (50.586? N latitude, 112.410? W longitude) has associated with it outlying rock lines and cairns that accurately mark the sun rise and set points on the solstices and on the observed equinoxes. The point of the sun{\textquoteright}s first flash on the horizon is the rise position, and the point of the last flash on the horizon is the set position. These points move northward from December to June, then move southward again after the summer solstice. Near an equinox the sun rise and set points at Majorville move along the horizon by 1.3 sun diameters per day. Near a solstice it takes nine days to move the last diamcter to the solstice position. We determine the sun rise and set points photographically to within less than one sun{\textquoteright}s diameter, and sometimes to within a fifth of a diameter (0.1?), along alignments up to 2km long. Rock alignments at Majorville mark the sun rise and set points three days before the vernal equinox and three days after the autumnal equinox. These days are within two minutes of being exactly 12 hours long. The lens effect of the atmosphere causes the length of the solar equinoctial days to be about 12 hours and 10 minutes long at Majorville. The position of sunrise on the 12.00 hour day is marked by a spoke in the Medicine Wheel, which points to a large white limestone in the East House 61m away, and to a configured part of the eroded river bank 1100m away. Rocks have slid down the eroded bank from the sightline position. The sun rises over the horizon about 30km distant. A more spectacular 12.00 hour day sunrise marker involves two V sights of rocks separated by 70m, on the west side of the Medicine Wheel hill. The sighting line is tangent to the Wheel. Because one is looking up the shaded side of the hill, the sun becomes visible in the nested bottoms of the V{\textquoteright}s a half hour after the first flash on the distant horizon. Thus, one can observe the equinox sunrise even if the distant horizon is overcast to a depth of several sun diameters. The 12.00 hour day sunset is marked by a spoke of the Wheel which points to a small cairn on a hillock 1100m away and to a ripple on the horizon about 10km distant.

At the Majorville site we have found the distant horizon to be clear about one third of the time, but with the two levels of siting lines we find one or the other clear about half of the time.

At Majorville one of the summer solstice rise lines runs 1.8 degrees north of the intersection of the northern slope of the Medicine Wheel Hill with the distant horizon. The sun rise occurs at this intersection on about 4 June, which provides a seventeen day countdown to the solstice.

Inevitably, the most successful surveys have occurred in conjunction with large archaeological programs blessed with ample budgets and long range research strategies, permitting sufficient time to perform pre-excavation magnetic surveys and enabling sophisticated computer analysis and mapping programs to be applied to raw magnetic data obtained. Though magnetic surveying has in such cases proved to be a profitable exercise, ironically, it is the director of a research project with a limited budget or an archaeological contractor with limited site salvage time who could most benefit from magnetic survey techniques. Recent advances in magnetic survey methodology and data analysis have greatly improved the potential of the proton magnetometer to reliably define subsurface archaeological features in sites formerly considered impossible to assess using remote sensing techniques. In addition, newly developed micro-computer hardware has usurped the traditional role of the often inaccessible institutional and commercial mainframe computer in carrying out complex statistical manipulations and plotting of raw field data.

The single largest impediment to the adoption of geomatics in the public and private sectors is the relatively steep learning curve and significant investment in time and money required to become proficient with these technologies. The goal of this research was to develop a customized GIS application for conducting archaeological surveys (e.g. test-pit or pedestrian) that would enable the user to record the location and associated attributes of an archaeological test site quickly and accurately, in a standardized format, and with a minimal amount of training or background required. The application enables the user to accurately record the location of each test-pit using a handheld computer (PDA) with an integrated GPS flashcard. When a new test-pit location is added the application prompts the user to enter specific attribute information using a custom designed data entry form with drop-down menus. The application also generates default data fields including user id, date, time, and location. Data is collected and stored in a standard geospatial data format (i.e. ESRI shapefile format) that can be easily uploaded to an external GIS application for analysis, reporting, and automated mapping; eliminating the need to transcribe or process hand written field notes. Consequently, data collected from several surveys can be integrated seamlessly, and subsequent data analysis can occur with little or no intermittent data processing.

At \"S\’oksun\" (Deep Bay) and \"Tseycum\" (Patricia Bay) on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in traditional Coast Salish territory, recent archaeological investigations have yielded two intriguing interment features dating from the late Middle Period. The posture and grave associations imply these were important and powerful women within their communities\—quite possibly shamans. The presence of quartz with both interments alludes to this potential as quartz, quartz crystal and quartzite have been closely linked with shamanism throughout the world. Among Coast Salish peoples, quartz is also associated with weather control and clairvoyance. Cultural continuity is well established in the region; these interments suggest the deep antiquity of some facets of the Coast Salish belief system, which is still extant and experiencing resurgence today.

Currently, for the lower Palaeolithic, there is limited information on hominid mobility and on economic and technological exploitation of raw materials. The archaeological evidence from the Arago cave allows us to use a simplified form of analysis, by which the selection and technological transformation of various raw materials are studied in relation to their availability in the environment. It is shown that fragmentation of the lithic reduction sequence, particularly on varied silicious rocks, depends on the accessibility to the procurement zone. These data also give us information about the territory covered by the hominids during the lower Palaeolithic. The results propose a more opportunistic attitude, and the existence of the capacity to anticipate future needs during the collect of raw material. This conceptual state is found in the technology of the lithic assemblages at the Arago site.

Historical Archaeology is founded on the process of cross-referencing written historical records with archaeological remains, yet the demand to reconcile contradictions between historical and archaeological data can restrict analytical results. In a recent study of the ethnicity of the Okanagan{\textquoteright}s historical McDougall Family (1859{\textendash}1905), historical and genealogical records suggested that the family was increasingly identifying with their Indigenous (Syilx) kin and community (Legault 2012). An archaeological survey of the vernacular architecture of M{\'e}tis trader Jean Baptiste McDougall and his sons contradict the historical data, as the five houses studied increasingly exhibit features associated with upper class Euro-Canadian society. The discrepancies between the data sets are not indicative of a problem with the written and material assemblages, but are rather a matter of theoretical orientation. By overcoming the binary analysis (colonizer/colonized) that is typically prescribed to historical peoples during the colonial period and instead employing nuanced notions of hybridity, the results suggest that the McDougall family was replicating the complex and contradictory identification that is commonly found amongst people of M{\'e}tis and/or mixed Indigenous and Euro-Canadian heritage.

Indigenous and ethnocultural communities commonly invoke a sense of community and heritage through the memory and practice of specific culturally-valued, land- and sea-based activities. Two ways in which these vital connections between people and activities are manifested is through the sharing of stories and the making and use of objects. We view both narratives and objects as storehouses of cultural memory: they enable individuals to generate and share remembered experiences; and to create and hold onto the connections, relations, and belonging that constitute community. We explore the idea of community through four \“tellings\” drawn from narratives and objects. The first two tellings are a sequence of memories about trapping and hunting shared by two Inuvialuit Elders of the Canadian Western Arctic. The second two tellings are stories from a series of whaling amulets made by and for Maori of New Zealand/Aotearoa. Our approach works to problematize how we define archaeological \“objects\” and moves towards an understanding of how memory evokes cultural practices that create and sustain communities of the past and present.

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 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.

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.

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.

The validity of the Archaic stage in general and of the Northern Archaic Tradition in particular are examined as they apply to the Mackenzie River valley in the western Canadian Subarctic. Archaeological data from five Middle Prehistoric complexes are presented along with palaeoenvironmental information, all of which tend to undermine the suggestion of a movement of Archaic people from the northern Plains during the Hypsithermal. Instead, we seem to be looking at the diffusion of a few isolated traits into a long-established boreal forest ecosystem. The Mummy Cave complex on the northern Plains is identified as the probable immediate source of, particularly, side-notched points, which at about this time achieved a continent-wide distribution.

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) has been previously applied successfully to the analysis of artifact assemblages from archaeological contexts. Despite the suitability of archaeological faunal data to such analysis, MDS has not been applied to faunal data. In this study, MDS analysis was applied to 21 faunal assemblages from 14 Graham Tradition sites in the Kunghit region of southern Haida Gwaii. A separation of salmon-dominated and rockfish-dominated assemblages provided the strongest result of this analysis, strengthening previous interpretations made for these data. Additionally, MDS analysis revealed functional and regional variability that had not been previously identified. Functionality was reflected in the separation of differing site types, while regional distribution of resources was also highlighted by the analysis. These results contribute to an understanding of Kunghit Haida subsistence and settlement while demonstrating the utility of MDS for faunal analysis.

Archaeology assumes itself as a discipline through a practice of boundary-making that merges the past with the present. It is, in this practice, increasingly critiqued for being ethnocentric and separating power from the communities it claims to represent. In response, archaeology is experiencing a turn toward \“community\”. Examining two community archaeology case studies, we assess whether archaeology can be transformed into a discipline that productively participates in the liveliness and messy connectedness of objects, peoples, histories and cultures\—in contrast to a conventionally detached practice of objectifying other peoples\’ lifeways. In both cases, archaeological and descent communities play direct and central decision-making roles in this traditionally \“distanced\” discipline. They demonstrate means of re-figuring archaeology as a participatory practice. Community-founded archaeology is thus shown to transform methods commonly supporting institutional reproduction into a radically indigenous, emically structured, set of knowledge practices and outcomes.

Over the past twenty years, the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in archaeology has transformed the way spatial data are collected, stored, and analysed. The adoption of GIS into archaeology, however, has been uneven. On the Northwest Coast, the full potential of GIS has yet to be realized, both as a tool for data management and for analysis of landscapes at multiple scales. In this paper, we present results from recent research in Prince Rupert Harbour, where we combine archaeological data, GIS analyses, and social questions to explore important issues in Northwest Coast archaeology. This project demonstrates that regional patterns of interaction and change in settlement through time in Prince Rupert Harbour are closely tied to social relations, historical contingencies, and memory. We argue that a theoretically robust application of GIS to archaeological data is an important area of research on the Northwest Coast and has significant implications for conclusions we draw about social dynamics and interaction in the past.

Crooked knives or mocotagans have been important articles in the Algonkian tool kit since at least the beginning of the eighteenth century and probably earlier. Today, the manufacturing technique employed by the Native artisan is quite similar to the Puropean method of softening the metal by heating it to red hot, shaping, reheating and then quenching to harden the metal. However, in former times the temperatures and speeds of the heating and cooling processes were varied so as to circumvent the need for high temperatures while still producing metals whose properties suited the intended tasks. Such detailed technical knowledge may find some parallels in the prehistoric working of native copper, but more likely it was a method learned from Europeans and modified to suit the new and varied conditions of adaptation to the boreal forest. Although precursors have been proposed (especially modified rodent incisors), functional parallels are lacking. Rather, it would appear that it was the coalescing of the native technical knowledge and adaptive skills essential to life in the boreal forest, and the metallurgical knowledge of the Europeans trading into eastern North America which likely led to the innovation of the mocotagan.
