Comparison of this assemblage with those from several sites in the western Lake Erie region has demonstrated a clear seriation for the Parker Festooned type, from its inception to its decline, and to its partial expression in later types of the same cultural tradition. The latter observation have resulted in a hitherto unprecedented understanding of the temporal, spacial, and stylistic dynamics of the Parker Festooned type.

This paper uses lithic analysis to investigate late Pre-Dorset stone-tool reduction strategies and land-use patterns in the islands of southwestern Hudson Bay in order to improve our understanding of Pre-Dorset lifeways in this \"peripheral\" region. We examine debitage and formal stone tools from the Burton Rock site (IeKn-12) to explore how the \"atypical\" large stone woodworking tools at the site were integrated within the more \"typical\" Pre-Dorset small tool technology. Our analysis suggests that, contrary to our expectation, both chert and pyroclastic rock were in short supply, and the use of pyroclastic rock for the large tools likely relates to nodule size rather than overall availability of the raw materials. Formal tools from Burton Rock are also compared to those from the nearby and roughly contemporaneous Seahorse Gully site in order to determine whether activities at Burton Rock were typical of late Pre-Dorset sites in the area. Tools for processing hard organics and for hunting predominate at both sites, indicating a similar range of activities and suggesting a high degree of consistency in the use of these islands in late Pre-Dorset times.

Materials recently collected from the shoreline of the Brazeau reservoir in west-central Alberta include a number of Paleoindian artifacts and a set of six articulated mandibular teeth from the genus Equus. The heavily weathered horse teeth were identified as most similar to the caballine equids that became extinct in North American at the end of the Pleistocene. An average of four AMS radiocarbon dates place the age of the teeth at ~12,700 calibrated years before present. Early style artifacts recovered from the reservoir include two fluted points, a biface cache, and several other Paleoindian points. No artifacts were directly associated with the teeth, but nearby fluted points are likely coeval and suggestive of an association. The presence of Pleistocene horse 12,700 years ago directly within the Ice-Free Corridor (IFC) has a bearing on the debate concerning the timing of the opening of the IFC and on the environmental conditions within the corridor. Data presented here indicate an open IFC in west-central Alberta by at least 12,700 years ago and an environment fully capable of supporting large game animals, and by extension human hunters.

During winter body growth slows or ceases, total body weight declines, fat reserves are severely diminished or exhausted, and muscle tissue is mobilized to provide energy and protein to vital functions. Seasonal patterns of caribou carcass composition differ according to age and sex. Calves are very lean at birth, remain lean through most of the summer, but by autumn have accumulated considerable fat. By the end of the flirst year fat levels in calves are similar to those of adults. Mature males are fattest in the fall but lose most of their stored fat during the rut and enter the winter in poor condition. Mature females are also fattest in the fall, are affected little by the rut, and enter winter in excellent condition. Despite the energy demands of gestation, pregnant females are often fatter than barren cows and maintain greater fat deposits into spring. At parturition the onset of lactation creates severe energetic demands on the dam and females are in poorest condition in mid summer. Dry cows are fatter at this time. The physiological need for fat in the diet of hunters inhabiting northern. latitudes led to a well documented preference for the fattest animals. Patterns of caribou energetics and carcass composition were likely exploited to yield maximum return of high energy food. Archaeological verification of selective hunting and butchering can be achieved through sexing of bones, determination of seasonality, and probably delineation of the conditions of pregnancy and lactation.

However, our perceptions and analyses of this data may be clouded by the lack of surviving structures or unmodified landscapes that can be used to put this evidence into a better context. Recent developments in computer visualization are providing powerful tools for modelling multi-dimensional aspects of the data gathered by archaeologists. Computer graphic techniques can be used to reconstruct and visualize features of a site which may otherwise be difficult to appreciate. This new perspective may enhance our understanding of the environments in which our ancestors lived. Recent developments have made it possible to {\textquoteright}construct{\textquoteright} virtual environments on a computer and view photo-realistic images of these scenes [4]. It is possible, therefore, to recreate an archaeological site on a computer and provide the viewer with an accurate representation of the actual rernains. Furthermore, geometric modelling techniques enable extrapolations from existing evidence to reconstruct the site as it may have appeared to the original inhabitants [5]. Although static images are useful for providing impressions of a site, far greater insight can be obtained by making it possible for the user to navigate through the three dimensional representation. This experience will be enhanced by the photo-realistic nature of the computer model including accurate illumination and the presence of environmental factors such as smoke dust or fog. It is essential that such a navigation systern is interactive, responding immediately to the operator{\textquoteright}s directions [3]. In all image synthesis techniques, the fundamental step is computing the amount and nature of light from the three dimensional environment reaching the eye from any given direction. This computation is carried out by simulating the behaviour of light in the environment. This simulation must allow for the medium participation of light emitters such as flames, light absorbers such as soot clouds, and light scatterers such as dust or smoke. The particle tracing technique traces the path of photons as they are emitted from light sources and uses the reflected/refracted/emitted particle flux given by a large number of these particles as a measure of the illumination of the environment [4]. This model accurately simulates the physical propagation of light, and can be used for complex scenes involving medium participation. Experience, based on sequential implementations of the particle tracing method, has shown that even for relatively simple environments the number of particles that have to be considered in the simulation can be of the order of a few hundred thousand. On the single processor machine this can amount to many minutes and even hours of computing time. The application of advanced parallel processing methods should allow the visualization to be accomplished in real-time [1,2].This paper will describe a parallel computer system, currently under development as a joint project between computer scientists and archaeologists, for reconstructing and photo-realistically visualizing archaeological sites.References:[1] A.

Copper has figured prominently in discussions of social complexity among Northwest Coast Cultures. Coppers, shield-like sheets of copper variable in size, were a form of lineage wealth displayed, gifted, or ritually destroyed at potlatches; and copper artifacts have been recovered from human burials. The former use of copper is well-documented ethnographically and historically while the latter phenomenon is less well understood. This paper provides an overview of the occurrence of copper in precontact archaeological contexts in British Columbia using published and unpublished literature. Our investigation is framed within a Behavioral Archaeology approach that elicits ideas on copper innovation and all that it entailed. We find that copper is rare in precontact contexts from a province-wide perspective; there was likely more than one instance of native copper innovation; and contrary to previous suggestions, the copper-rich Dene region of south-central Alaska and southwestern Yukon cannot account for most of the precontact examples of copper use in the province. We offer some hypotheses to explain the precontact distribution of copper in BC, including both local invention and diffusion, not in an attempt to deliver the final verdict on this topic, but rather, to stimulate additional research.

The complex hunter-gatherers of the Northwest Coast of North America were renowned for their permanent village way of life. Many groups maintained winter villages and summer-fall villages, the latter associated with intensive salmon production. Settlement patterns in spring were quite varied. Some groups were dispersed and mobile, while others maintained a village way of life based on intensive production of critical spring resources. The Point Grey site is interpreted as a spring village component of the Marpole culture at which herring was the key resource produced.

Archaeobotanical sampling was carried out in Aomori prefecture at sites dating to the Middle Jomon Period, ca. 3000-2500 B.C.; the Tokoshinai I and IV phases of the Late Jomon, ca. 2500-1000 B.C.; and, to the Fukurashima phase of the Tohoku Yayoi, ca. 150 B.C. Distributional analyses of plant remains recovered from pithouse floors and other contexts are undertaken, and it is demonstrated that archaeobotanical remains can reflect the depositional history of these features. Plant remains recovered from the Late Middle Jomon Tominosawa site suggest a focus on weed seed procurement, similar to contemporary sites found nearby on the southwestern portion of the island of Hokkaido. The Kazahari site produced evidence of Tokoshinai IV phase rice and foxtail and broomcom millet dating to 2540{\textpm}240B.P. (TO-2202). Sampling of later Fukurashima phase contexts at Kazahari produced evidence of rice, foxtail and broomcom millet, Japanese bamyard millet, and hemp. These data demonstrate that rice and millets were present in northeastern Aomori since the Tokoshinai IV phase, and that mixed farming systems were in place during later Fukurashima phase occupations. Ecological and ethnographic evidence is used to postulate that farming may have been present in northeastern Aomori at a time shortly after the first known occurrence of rice in southwestern Japan. This observation implies that the movement north of rice farming may not have been greatly affected by cultural and ecological factors. The processes involved in the development and diffusion of farming into northeastern Japan are sotnewhat comparable to those evidenced in other temperate regions.}, author = {A.

During the summer of 1984 the authors undertook a short archaeologica survey to confirm the presence of high quality chert in the Schefferville area, and to determine if this resource was exploited in prehistoric times. Two quarry sites with associated workshop locales were discovered. The artifacts and debitage surface collected from the sites represent all stages of biface production. Also recovered was a group of finished tools, in part manufactured from lithic raw materials other than the chert found in situ This may be a curated tool kit left at the quarry when fresh tools were manufactured. The possibility that the Schefferville area is the source of some of the cherts found on archaeological sites in other parts of northern Quebec is discussed, as is the significance of lithic procurement, reduction and transport studies to our understanding of northern Quebec prehistory.

Analysis of fauna from 22 sites in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, demonstrates that hunting strategies varied seasonally. Sites occupied during the winter are situated in the foothills and entrance to the pass. Bison dominates assemblages at these sites. Sites occupied during the summer are situated well into the mountains, and their faunal assemblages are very diverse. These differences are explained by changes in hunting strategies to accommodate seasonal variation in prey distribution and abundance.

A small assemblage of bison bones from the Palaeoindian (10,700 to 9500 BP) components at Charlie Lake Cave, British Columbia is dominated by elements from the middle and lower limbs. The skeletal element frequencies are not typical of a kill site. The lithic assemblage, the lack of evidence for burning, and the ratio of long bone shaft fragments to epiphyses suggest that the assemblage was not produced at a residential site nor at a specialized processing area. We propose that the assemblage resulted from storage of frozen bison limbs in a series of meat caches, probably located in a small cave that would have been difficult for scavengers to enter.

A recent magnetometer survey from the Late Archaic Davidson Site (AhHk-54) demonstrates the potential of this technique in understanding hunter-gatherer occupations in the Great Lakes Region, and contributes to our understanding of temporal change in the spatial use of the site. Davidson was investigated to test the long held, but little substantiated notion that the Late Archaic represents a time of reduced settlement mobility. Hundreds of features, including storage pits, earth ovens, hearths and the remains of some of the oldest known houses in the Great Lakes region were identified using the magnetometer and indicate that the site is much larger and more complex than previously believed. Ground-truthing of these results through excavation and coring, combined with repeated field-walking of the site to map artifact distributions, allows us to document more fully the extent of intact deposits, the site setting at the time of the occupation and changes in site function and use from the Broad Point to Small Point (Terminal) Archaic. Our findings indicate that more widespread use of geophysical survey techniques on Canadian archaeological sites has the potential to contribute not only to a deeper understanding of the archaeological record, but also to the development of archaeogeophysics from its traditional role in site prospection to more problem-based, theoretically informed applications.

This report presents the results of an experiment designed to examine the effects of grit tempering on the shrinkage of clays used to manufacture Middle and Late Woodland pottery from Sipiwesk Lake in northern Manitoba. A single previous experiment by Corenblum and Syms (1977) using clay from southern Manitoba found that grit tempering had little effect on the shrinkage of clays; it was proposed that the use of temper by pre-contact potters may have been a practice driven by cultural choice as opposed to technical necessity. Our experiment analyzed the plasticity and shrinkage of clay briquettes and tiles from Sipiwesk Lake in northern Manitoba that were untempered or tempered with different proportions of a grit (10{\textendash}30 percent) composition comparable to that used by pre-contact potters. Our study shows that adding grit temper increased the plasticity of raw clays (their workability) and reduced the amount of shrinkage experienced during drying and firing. Our conclusions directly contrast Corenblum and Syms{\textquoteright} findings, but do confirm grit temper is not necessary to successfully manufacture a Middle or Late Woodland pot. Based upon these new data we then address the theoretical issue of whether it is useful to distinguish {\textquotedblleft}cultural choice{\textquotedblright} from {\textquotedblleft}technical necessity{\textquotedblright} as alternative explanations for manufacturing practices.

It is not to say that this information is unusable - it is just that the data are stored in some unique, often intricate way which the designer has long since abandoned and probably forgotten. This loss of past work is regrettable, but at least the original research information is still available in the form of field and lab notes and artifacts. Today, things are different. It is the rare archaeologist indeed who does not use a personal computer for a significant portion of their research. Archaeologists regularly catalogue their artifacts using their own custom computer databases, producing only a minimal paper record of their artifact descriptions. Important primary information can be found only on custom computer files. This information, possibly more important than the raw artifacts and catalogues which by law must be archived, consists of electronic field notes, computer-drawn maps and diagrams, digitized images and even sounds. These data are rarely considered for archiving. How can this information be saved from oblivion? Since it is all digital in form, one should be able to access the information via a computer link.

Surveys and site excavations to date have focused on the modern shoreline. Lake and river shores formed an important ecotone for hurnan occupation in the Upland Shield - Boreal Forest as seen from ethnographic and archaeological settlement pattern studies. In order to trace prehistoric occupations through time, it is necessary to, reconstruct past shoreline configurations. Recent work indicates that lake levels in the complex north-south basin of Lake Temagami have been dynamic. Differential isostatic rebound is posited as the mechanism, with the northern end of the lake rebounding faster than the southern end. This phase of the research focuses on reconstructing the palaeohyhydrology of Lake Temagami, as a means of predicting archaeological site location. The effects of isostatic rebound were computer modelled by digitizing MNR 1:20,000 basemaps and applying published rebound curves. Initial results predict a 30m vertical displacement of the north end of the lake, relative to the south, at 9,500 B.P. Two separate lakes, one draining northeast through Sharp Rock Inlet, and the other draining northeast through the town of Temagami, would result. As the basins rebounded, lake regression would occur near these outlets, resulting in palaeoshorelines inland from the modern shoreline. Fieldwork in 1991 involved coring bogs at the two outlets. The preliminary results bear out several predictions of the computer model. This work has several archaeological implications. First, Lake Temagami levels underwent rapid change. Sites on the present shoreline may not provide the full sequence of prehistoric occupation. Second, changing lake levels differentially affected the basin; while inland archaeological survey may be useful for locating early sites, it is only appropriate in selected locales. Third, local effects of changing lake levels on travel routes, lithic sources, and fauna resources merit consideration in reconstructions of pre-historic land usage.

The Princess Point promontory at Cootes Paradise, Hamilton, Ontario has a long, rich history of human activity.\ This paper provides a synopsis of the archaeological work conducted on Princess Point, and summarizes the history of human activity on the promontory. The Princess Point site was discovered on the promontory in the 1960s by archaeologists from McMaster University. Excavations were conducted by McMaster in the late 1960s, and by the University of Toronto, Mississauga since 2000. These excavations demonstrate that Princess Point was used by native peoples from Early Archaic times (8000\–6000 B.C.) through to the end of the Woodland period at A.D. 1650. The most intense occupation occurred during the Early Late Woodland period (A.D. 500\–1000) by people of the Princess Point Complex. Euro-Canadians began using Princess Point during the late eighteenth century.\ In the twentieth century, the promontory was incorporated into the Royal Botanical Gardens.

Bioarchaeologists can further investigate human bone metabolism at the biomolecular level by incorporating biochemical methods into their research. Recently, there has been a focus on osteocalcin, an abundant non-collagenous bone protein, because of its clinically identified relationship with biological factors (i.e., age and sex), activity, and pathological conditions (i.e.,\ disease). For this study, osteocalcin was extracted and quantified from the femora of 27 individuals from the Fortress of Louisbourg (1713{\textendash}1758) skeletal collection to explore if the clinical relationship between osteocalcin and sex, age, activity, and pathological conditions can also be established in archaeological bone. However, no significant relationships between osteocalcin concentrations and biological factors (i.e., age and sex), activity, or pathological conditions were identified. This is the first study to quantify osteocalcin from archaeological human skeletal remains from a Canadian context and provides another example of how this method may be used to study stress in bioarchaeological populations.

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.

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.

Four intertidal archaeological sites near Petersburg, southeast Alaska, are described and compared to shed light on how such features functioned. The Sandy Beach, Woody Island, McDonald Arm, and Blind Slough sites contain wood-stake and rock alignments representing the remains of fish traps. Each trap consists of two leads funneling into a circular or heart-shaped\&$\#$39; enclosure. Multiple fish species, including salmon, were likely harvested. The technology was employed for centuries, between 1,100 and 2,300 years ago. While hundreds of sites with intertidal wood-stake and rock alignments have been recorded at coastal sites in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and southeast Alaska, few display evidence of an enclosure. The Petersburg sites allow more detailed inspection of prehistoric fishing technology in the Northwest Coast culture area, and may help explain how intertidal wood-stake and rock alignments functioned at other sites where only fragments of the leads remain.\&$\#$39;

This paper introduces the concept of \&$\#$39;prey as bait\&$\#$39; in which human groups exploit predatory relations among economically important species in a food chain. The food resource procurement strategy based on this concept is seen as an alternative to specialized acquisition of generally abundant species such as Pacific salmon.

The Rockingham Inn, ten kilometres north of Halifax, was initially built as part of a barracks complex erected in 1796, but was later converted to an inn that was home to the Rockingham Club, an elite men\&$\#$39;s club whose members included many of Halifax\&$\#$39;s most prominent citizens. After the demise of the Club in 1814, the inn continued to serve the local community until its destruction by fire in 1833.

Compositionally, the body of this object most closely resembles the true porcelain manufactured at the Caughley (c.l795- 1799)/Coalport (c.1799-1837) and Plymouth (c.l768-1770)/Bristol (c.1770-1781) works, but it has an alkali-lime (rather than lead-rich) glaze similar to Bristol\&$\#$39;s.

A national survey of Canadian public opinion on archaeological heritage issues focused on four main areas: knowledge of archaeology; interest and participation in archaeology; awareness of and support for heritage conservation initiatives; and Aboriginal stewardship of the archaeological record. Data collected from a random sample of 1,501 residents across Canada in 2000 indicate a high level of interest and support for archaeology and heritage conservation, but also a high level of misunderstanding about the archaeological record and current legislative measures to protect it. In contrast to recent changes in legislation and initiatives within the discipline, public attitude towards Aboriginal stewardship of archaeological resources is reserved. Region, education, age, and gender are significant factors affecting differences in opinion. Comparison of select variables from this survey with results from a national survey of the United States shows that the Canadian and American publics are more similar than different in their opinions on archaeological heritage.

The purpose of this paper is to share some practical tips and lessons learned during the course of SCAPE (Study of Cultural Adaptations within the Prairies Ecozone) with researchers interested in organizing or participating in a large-scale interdisciplinary archaeological project. Archaeologists, Earth scientists, and paleoecologists were involved in SCAPE from its inception. Interdisciplinary communication proved a key element to success of the project. Even when participating researchers come from home disciplines considered to be \"inherently interdisciplinary\" developing such communication was not a simple matter. Many beneficial mechanisms were developed for fostering such communication. Meeting together frequently, attending conferences as a group, and living and working together in the field proved particularly helpful. Unifying systems were developed for: collecting spatial data, archiving and cataloguing disparate data-sets in a GIS, sharing these data amongst participating researchers during the project, and managing analyses of all data collected in the field.

A wooden figurine recovered during archaeological excavations on the south coast of Baffin Island in 1977, was probably made by a prehistoric Thule culture Eskimo in the 13th century A.D., and is thought to be a depiction of a Viking man from Greenland. The clothing style shown on the figurine compares well with front-slit or gored tunics and yoked hoods of the l1th through 13th centuries. The carving also wears a cross on the chest. Reference to the Norse Sagas supports the contention that Viking Greenlanders landed on Baffin Island, which is probably the land mass referred to by them as \&$\#$39;Helluland\&$\#$39;.

Fifty-seven of these sites, from the McDougall Sound region, have been plotted in relation to their location above present sea level. The temporal and spatial distribution of these sites, as well as their material content, suggests a greater continuity and density of human occupation in the High Arctic than previous evidence has indicated.

Confronted with the dangers of destruction of many important archaeological sites on Orleans Island by urban expansion, road construction, farming development and in view of the increasing costs of specialized manpower, a quick and ecomical way of detecting and locating archaeological remains is an imperative. Shallow depth geophysical prospecting using electrical resistivity and magnetic methods are eventual solutions to this problem and this is why these methods were used in parallel with standard archaeological techniques on Orleans Island. After two years of preliminary experience related to archaeogeophysical searches carried out on Orleans Island, it is now worthwhile to present some of the results obtained. These results turned out to be conclusive and are worth being giving particular attention to in the near future. The geophysical methods have the advantage of being non-destructive and allow the acquisition of pre-knowledge of the archaeological content in order to determine as precisely as possible the location of excavations which have been voluntarily restricted on Orleans Island.

Radiocarbon is significantly depleted in the surface waters of the subpolar North Pacific, including those of the Northwest Coast, due to strong upwelling of old\&$\#$39; subsurface water. As a result, North Pacific shell, fishbone, and other marine materials have radiocarbon ages 600-1,000 years older than those of coeval terrestrial material. It is usually assumed that this reservoir age has remained constant over time, except inasmuch as it is affected by known variations in atmospheric 14C levels. This assumption is critical, but few opportunities have arisen to test it. In this study, we have measured the differences between radiocarbon ages of wood and shell pairs collected from natural beach deposits and archaeological midden sites in British Columbia to develop a record of reservoir ages extending back 10,700 radiocarbon years (ca. 12,900 calendar years). The results show that reservoir ages have been relatively constant over this period.\&$\#$39;

Among the Coast Salish of the Lower Fraser River Watershed and its tributaries, as elsewhere on the Northwest Coast, the built environment was fundamental to cultural expression. The construction and continued maintenance of houses in particular, both informed and reflected the social identity of households. For this study, we excavated the remains of a small, isolated pithouse in the Harrison River Valley, the traditional territory of the Chehalis (Sts\’ailes) Coast Salish where evidence of two occupations, spanning almost 300 years, reflected a long-term connection to place. For the purpose of this paper, we link the spatial and temporal data of our archaeological investigation to insights gained from regional ethnographic sources and local indigenous knowledge. Taken together, these lines of evidence allowed us to make inferences about the identities of the pithouse occupants and to recognize the importance of the built environment as a vehicle for communicating social relations.

In Southcentral Ontario, Early and Late Palaeo-Indian peoples occupied the strandline of Glacial Lake Algonquin, with which they may have been contemporaneous, as well as older, abandoned strandlines elsewhere. While the Georgian Bay region and the eastern Simcoe Lowlands were both intensively occupied by early Palaeo-Indians, the settlement patterns in the two regions appear to have been different. The two sites known in the former region may have served as base camps from which the entire region was exploited; in contrast, the occupation of the eastern margin of the Simcoe Lowlands appears to have been much more diffuse, as indicated by more numerous but smaller sites. Archaeological work along the Algonquin strandline has probably revealed only a portion of the total settlement pattern, and there is a need to focus survey work on other landforms in different areas to discover the full range of sites used during the seasonal round.

The Pink Mountain site, located in the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains in northern British Columbia, revealed artifacts suggestive of a 3,000 year time span extending to a fluted point occupation.

Comparisons of the artifacts with other northern and Rocky Mountain collections suggest affinities with Northern Cordilleran, Plano and Cody complex materials. Fluted points from the site are very similar to the specimen recovered from Charlie Lake Cave near Fort St. John. Microblade cores and macroblades were also recovered from the Pink Mountain site. Tentative associations between a microblade and, possibly, a macroblade industry and the fluted point technology are suggested.
