An Athabaskan Hypothesis - Roscoe Wilmeth (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 1979)
Two major routes for the southward migration of the southern Athabaskans have been suggested, one through the Plains, the other through the Plateau. The evidence for each of these routes is assessed, and strengths and weaknesses noted. It is suggested that in fact both routes were used, with a complex pattern of divergence and merging at different times and places during the migration.

Geoarchaeological Investigations of the Age and Context of the Stalker (Taber Child) Site, DlPa 4, Alberta - Michael Clayton Wilson; David W. Harvey; Richard G. Forbis (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 1983)
Detailed archaeological excavations were carried out in 1978 and 1979 at the Stalker Site (DlPa-4), north of Taber, Alberta. Their purpose was to clarify the stratigraphic sequence at the site, to evaluate the probable context of the human remains, and to search for additional human or faunal remains. The Quaternary deposits exposed included tills, intertill sands, ice-contact lacustrine deposits, Holocene slope deposits, and mudflow deposits. Slope retreat in recent years has not been as extensive at the site as originally believed, and Holocene deposits from an earlier gully cycle were identified. Diamictons that initially appeared to be till blocks in the orange intertill sands proved upon excavation to be Holocene mudflows, and contained bones (bison and jackrabbit). Bones of these species and pronghorn antelope were also recovered from Holocene slope deposits. Sediment samples from various units and from the Taber Child specimen were subjected to semi-quantitative X-ray diffraction spectrometry and percentage compositions of major mineral constituents were compared. The Taber Child matrix was diamictic and did not closely resemble sediment samples from the orange (rusty) intertill sands formerly thought to be the deposit of origin. Closer resemblances were noted with other deposits, including the Holocene mudflows. Given the presence of mudflow deposits within about one metre of the estimated discovery point, it is concluded that the Taber Child specimen could reasonably have come from Holocene deposits at the site. Cementation of matrix around the fossil was due to seepage at the site and is not an indicator of great antiquity.

The Pink Mountain Site (HhRr–1): an Early Prehistoric Campsite in Northeastern B.C. - Ian R. Wilson (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 1989)
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. The site appears to have been associated with a large proglacial lake. 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.

Sechelt Zoomorphic Stone Bowl - Ian R. Wilson (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 2000)
In July 1991, an intricate stone bowl pecked and ground into the form of a bird was presented to the Sechelt band for permanent display in their museum. This pedastalled zoomorphic stone bowl, an impressive piece of sculpture in its own right, is unique in that it represents the first such item to have been recovered and reported from a dated archaeological context on the west coast of British Columbia. The artifact is one of the benchmarks of the Marpole Culture type and was recovered from a unique high-elevation site.

Quantifying Landscape Diversity and Uniqueness in the Prairie Ecozone - Dion Wiseman; James Graham (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 2007)
SCAPE is an interdisciplinary research project examining human-environmental interactions of precontact groups in localities exhibiting exceptional physiographic and ecological diversity. While overall ecological diversity has been used to explain the patterns of intense occupation exhibited in these areas, there has been no formal investigation comparing the relative diversity and uniqueness of these landscapes or relative intensity of occupation occurring in these areas with adjacent environments across the Prairie ecozone. This paper presents a GIS-based methodology for quantitatively assessing the diversity and uniqueness of landscapes based on the analysis of geoindicators and the relationship between ecologically diverse and unique landscapes and the occurrence of archaeological sites. Results of these analyses indicate that at least one of the four SCAPE study areas exhibits exceptionally high diversity and uniqueness and that, overall, landscapes scoring in the highest category for combined diversity and uniqueness have significantly higher than expected frequencies of archaeological sites.

A Coiled Basket Fragment and Other Organic Artifacts from the Keatley Creek Site, British Columbia - Karen L. Wittke; Brian Hayden; and Marie-Ange Lauwerys (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 2004)
Several unusual wood and plant artifactual remains were recovered from the Keatley Creek site in the Interior of British Columbia. The most important of these is a charred fragment of a coiled basket recovered from a Protohistoric Period ritual structure dated to 250 BP. This is the only archaeological example of coiled basketry from the Interior, and such examples are extremely rare on the Coast also. While it may have served as a cooking or water container, we also suggest that it may have been a prestige item, possibly used in ritual contexts. The other artifacts described include a section of a wooden shaft implement like a bow or hoop frame dated to 1410 BP, and a bifacial stone knife from a storage pit that still retained a bark wrapping probably dating to ca. 1000 BP.

Ceramic Vessels of the Wendat Confederacy: Indicators of Tribal Affiliation or Mobile Clans? - Joyce M. Wright (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 2006)
This paper constitutes a comparison of ceramic vessel types from 21 site collections representing different geographic clusters and taxonomic divisions of the Wendat (Huron) between the 15th and 17th centuries. Since these data were derived from previously published reports, the analysis necessarily involved the use of ceramic types rather than attributes. This proved expedient because it clarified the varying degree of foreign (non-Wendat) ware of which each collection was comprised. The observation that as much as a quarter to a half of the vessels of some collections were foreign, indicated that traditional comparisons of total site samples would tend to obscure local relationships. By focusing solely on Wendat ceramics, it was possible to identify homogeneity in the ceramic decoration of the 15th and 16th centuries that, with the addition of historical documentary and further archaeological evidence, is argued to reveal sub-group mobility between settlements, a situation that was apparently not perpetuated into the 17th century.

Trends and Consequences in Canadian Prehistory - James V. Wright; with comments by Bruce Drewitt; Patrick Plumet; Bruce G. Trigger; Richard G. Forbis; Roy L. Carlson (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 1977)
It is argued that the focus of most anthropology departments in Canadian universities is rapidly diverging from those traditional fields which provided a link of common interests between prehistorians and anthropologists. As a result, the training of archaeologists is beginning to suffer from the position of the discipline as a minor peripheral element in departments of anthropology. One possible solution to this situation lies in the breaking of traditional ties with anthropology, and the establishment of separate departments of archaeology in various parts of the country.

The Implications of Probable Early and Middle Archaic Projectile Points from Southern Ontario - James V. Wright (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 1978)
On the basis of surface collections from southwestern Southern Ontario it appears that Early (8000-6000 B.C.) and Middle (6000-4000 B.C.) Archaic occupations are represented. In addition to the distributional evidence for Early and Middle Archaic in the province, the following matters are examined: the association of Early and Middle Archaic projectile point varieties with the present Carolinian Biotic Province; consideration of the Fitting-Ritchie hypothesis that much of the Northeast was sparsely populated between 7000 B.C. and 4000 B.C.; and the possible relationship between late Palaeo-Indian cultures of the north and Early Archaic cultures and/or influences from the south.

The Comparative Radiometric Dating of Two Prehistoric Ontario Iroquoian Villages - James V. Wright (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 1985)
The three major conclusions of the paper are as follows: the reliability of bone collagen dates relative to wood charcoal dates is dependant upon the total removal of inorganic carbonates by the laboratory; a geographic variable relative to the extraction of old carbonates appears to exist since collagen dates were comparable to wood charcoal dates from the McIvor site but not the Nodwell site despite the fact that the same laboratory collagen extraction technique was used; and calibrated date intervals derived from dated tree-rings of known age appear to represent a more realistic structuring of archaeological time than mid-point dates with a one sigma probability range.

Regarding the American Paleolithic - Eldon Yellowhorn (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 2003)
Taxonomies currently employed in Plains archaeology were devised in the mid-20th century. As a new century unfolds, the time has come to revisit them and to suggest alternatives that acknowledge the emergence of a World Archaeology. Terms such as prehistory and Archaic were created to describe the material culture assemblages in the Western hemisphere. However, as a global perspective becomes more common in archaeology, there is a need to adopt terms that have meaning for audiences around the world. This article addresses that topic and suggests alternatives to the broad categories in use. Replacing Paleoindian with Upper Paleolithic, Archaic with Epipaleolithic, and Woodland with Neolithic achieves the objective of placing Aboriginal peoples on an equal basis with other early peoples elsewhere in the world.

Mocotagan, Couteau Croche Algonquien; Techniques et Origines - Jean-Luc Pilon et Sandra Zacharias (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 1986)
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.

Predicting North American Late Pleistocene Archaeology Using an Optimal Foraging Model - Cynthia Zutter (Canadian Journal of Archaeology/Journal canadien d'archéologie, 1989)
This study outlines an alternative method for increasing the Late Pleistocene archaeological record in North America. An optimal foraging model is formulated based on reconstructed biomass quantities for the vegetation and fauna of the Ice-free corridor region of western Canada. The most productive areas during the Late Pleistocene are assumed to be the most probably locations for human settlements and archaeological sites.
