Recent Bayesian modeling of new high-precision AMS dates has caused a revision of the Iroquoian chronology of northern New York. The Iroquoian occupation is now estimated to date between AD\ 1425{\textendash}1520, with no good evidence for developmental precursors in the region. The more than 50 village components in the region must now fit into almost half the temporal span as previously believed. All the settlement clusters now seem to have been contemporary and dual village settlement for some of the clusters now seems likely. For the ceramic seriation to remain true, one of the cluster sequences must be chronologically reversed, having significant implications for its culture history. Finally, while their dispersal from northern New York remains complex, it must be rethought considering the new chronology.

The Old North Trail was the main north-to-south link running along the eastern flank of the Rocky Mountains, within the homeland of the Blackfoot people. While travelling along this trail, human groups stopped at resource patches and important landmarks, leaving evidence of their passing in the form of archaeological sites. This paper examines the historical and archaeological evidence for the Old North Trail and discusses use of leastcost path analysis within a geographic information system framework to model the route of the trail. Where differences exist between the location of least-cost paths and the course of the Old North Trail, the {\textquotedblleft}pull{\textquotedblright} factors that may have drawn human groups away from the most efficient route across the landscape will be explored. This analysis suggests there was a sacred dimension to this landscape, with features of ecological and ideological importance affecting human movement through the region.

The web-based program retro-Reveal has been used primarily for providing improved visibility of documents with faint text, including stamps, currency, music, and so forth. It has yet to be used to its full potential by archaeologists interested in rock art. The plugin DStretch, used on the ImageJ platform, has been the standard for enhancement of faint red ochre rock art images. We introduce retroReveal as a supplement to photographic investigation through comparison of images from four rock art sites in Alberta, Canada. Processing photographs with the two techniques typically yields comparable results, but often with slight differences. In a few cases, retroReveal makes certain features more apparent than is the case with DStretch; in other instances, the opposite is true. Other positive and negative aspects of the two techniques are discussed. Experiments with black pictographs indicate that retroReveal does not perform satisfactorily with these images. Overall, our results indicate that retroReveal should be added to the toolkit for illuminating painted rock art images.

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.

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.

Advances in chronometric dating are needed to refine chronologies and models of cultural change, and bridging arguments are needed to link age estimates with cultural events. We compare three dating approaches using matched samples from cooking features at three sites in the Puget Sound, finding that luminescence dates for fire-modified rock (FMR), and radiocarbon dates on calcined bone are congruent with radiocarbon dates for charcoal. Dates derived from different media on single features are often within 100 years of each other. We discuss the relative advantages of each type of dating. Calcined bone survives well in acidic soils and yields reliable, accurate, and highly precise age estimates. Luminescence dating is highly accurate, especially if the FMR was sufficiently heated, but has low precision. Calcined bone and FMR should be dated more often, and dated together when charcoal cannot be relied upon. Such practice will allow us to better mark and explain rates of economic changes by locale and region.

A comprehensive (forty seven elements) geochemical data set for eighteen artifacts strategically selected after macroscopic examination of approximately six thousand lithic artifacts from the Punchaw Lake Village Site (FiRs-1) on the Nechako Plateau, in the north-central interior of British Columbia (B.C.), shows that dacite was the dominant lithology used in stone tool manufacture. The macroscopic descriptions, plus exploratory statistics utilizing all geochemical data, reveal at least three geochemical artifact groups (A, B, and D). Differences between groups are consistent with derivation from three Paleogene caldera complexes in the central interior. Comparisons with tool stone (dacite) from the southern interior of B.C. show that, although there is little geochemical overlap, the compositional variation at Punchaw Lake is similar to what is seen for all of the southern interior. Geochemical group A artifacts from Punchaw Lake (eight artifacts, 41 percent) resemble, but do not overlap with, available geochemical data for Cache Creek/Arrowstone Hills dacite (approximately 300\ km south) in the south-central interior, suggesting derivation from a geologic site/caldera between Punchaw Lake and Cache Creek, but a Cache Creek origin cannot be ruled out. Geochemical group A artifacts have textural traits leading to superior \“workability\” (e.g.,\ finer-grained) compared to the two, less-abundant, geochemical groups (B and D). Group A dominance implies that \“workability\” was as important as proximity to a geological source in determining the abundance of dacite types at Punchaw Lake. Two group B samples (11 percent of artifacts) are very similar to dacite artifacts from Smith Creek and Princeton River in the southern interior suggesting five hundred kilometers of transport. Previous work on obsidian and valuable artifacts at Punchaw Lake supports exchange/transport for great distances, but dacite tool stone may be largely of local/regional (central interior) derivation. Hypothesis testing requires data for dacite artifacts from Quaternary, glacial outwash fields, associated with Paleogene caldera complexes in the central interior.

Biface caches may be one of the most distinctive and enigmatic aspects of Paleoindian behavior. Here we contribute to discussion of this phenomenon by presenting an analysis and interpretation of a heretofore unreported biface cache, consisting of 24 ovate bifaces and a single large flake blank, documented in 1981 from the Round Lake locality (20-CL-227), Clinton County, Michigan, USA. Analysis of metric and non-metric attributes support an interpretation that the cached bifaces are, more probable than not, early Paleoindian in age, and are most likely attributable to the Gainey fluted point phase (ca. 11,500{\textendash}10,800 14C B.P.). Moreover, the cache is distinguished by a high degree of standardization, and represents the same intentional point in the chaine op{\'e}ratoire of fluted biface manufacture, suggesting production by a single individual. As a necessary complement to our technological analysis of the cache, we situate our interpretation of the Round Lake cache within the broader regional context of Great Lakes Paleoindian behavior.

This report considers copper crescent-shaped objects from Ontario, contextualizing them within broader archaeological discussions of the Old Copper Complex. I focus on a small assemblage of antiquarian-collected crescents from the Royal Ontario Museum. A literature review comprises the bulk of this report; crescents recovered from sites located in the center of the Old Copper Complex, in current-day Wisconsin and Michigan, help to situate examples in the antiquarian collection. I discuss crescents in terms of their chronological and geographic breadth, their formal variation, and the different depositional contexts in which they are found. Three examples from the antiquarian collection represent novel forms of copper crescent that are not represented in the accepted typology. Two of these, collected approximately 1,600\ km apart from one another, closely resemble stone and copper ulu knives, each with a unique copper handle that once bore a haft. By situating this particular collection within broader discussions of native copper, this report demonstrates the continued importance of thinking through poorly-contextualized archaeological collections while remembering the limitations of rigid, typological thinking.

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.

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.

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 Hebron Family Archaeology Project is a multi-year project which works towards increasing our understanding of twentieth-century life in Hebron, a former Inuit community in northern Labrador whose residents (Hebronimiut) were forcibly relocated in 1959. The primary goal of the project is to provide opportunities for the residents of Hebron to return to their homeland and to record the stories and memories of Elders before they are lost. Based on the expressed interests of community members, the scope of research has shifted from household excavation to non-invasive archaeological recording methods, family-based interviews, and increasing accessibility. Project goals and methods are flexible in nature in order to suit the needs of the people I am trying to serve, and my role as a researcher has changed as a result. While these factors have unsettled the original goals of the project, ultimately, they have provided critical guiding lessons to develop an Inuit-driven narrative that will be relevant and accessible to present and future generations of Hebronimiut.

Boswell (BfDf-08) is the first precontact archaeological site to be excavated along the Annapolis River, in north-central Nova Scotia. Therefore, it is the baseline for our understanding of former Indigenous occupation for this entire drainage system. Thus far, the site has revealed a cultural sequence beginning with the Transitional (or Terminal) Archaic (ca.\ 4100{\textendash}2700\ BP), followed by Middle and Late Woodland (ca.\ 2500{\textendash}1500\ BP) occupations. Subsistence activities at the site included fishing, hunting of beaver and birds, and the collection of edible berries and nuts. The deeply stratified sediments at the site give an indication of why so few sites and private collections have been recorded along the Annapolis River. Based on the Boswell excavation, the authors recommend a new strategy for future archaeological work in this understudied part of the province.

Originating with the systematic analysis of Canada{\textquoteright}s eleven regional archaeological site inventory forms, this paper examines the types of information these forms collect and the inventories that aggregate this information. Identifying thematic groupings of data, analysis proceeds to narrow its focus on the culture-historical elements of site forms. Common terminologies are represented cross-jurisdictionally seguing into a discussion of the Taltheilei Tradition and its representation in six provincial and territorial inventories. The Taltheilei example draws out issues with historic and contemporary site inventory management such as the impact of changing terminologies and inconsistent data types but also speaks to the potential of inventories to inform {\textquotedblleft}big data{\textquotedblright} analyses of inter-jurisdictional site information. The development of one such analytical tool, the Canadian Archeological Inventory Survey Tool (CAIST), is presented in detail. In concluding, the paper explores the promise and perils of future archaeological site inventory management.

Is archaeology of service beyond archaeologists? Part of a Mitacs Elevate Postdoctoral Fellowship developed in conjunction with Sustainable Archaeology at Western University and Timmins Martelle Heritage Consultants Inc., the Research Portal (www.insituated.com/research-portal) is a web-based platform capable of soliciting and communicating community-sourced research to potential academic partners. Designed to augment local capacities, foster relationships, and achieve socially meaningful and disseminated academic outcomes, the Portal inverts conventional community-based research conception. Non-academic organizations outline research objectives to which academic partners adapt or design research. Originally conceived to assist commercial archaeologists in promoting additional research related to commercial projects, the Portal{\textquoteright}s pilot implementation quickly expanded to include other heritage communities, including Indigenous communities, not-for-profits, and a municipal government. Demand for the inclusion of additional research sectors outside of heritage suggests that this archaeology-based initiative may have wider implications. This paper explores representations of conventional collaboration, and the presumptions and promise of a more service-oriented and community-driven academic mandate.

The recent interpretation of ceramic types as fluid and relational (Fowler 2017) has facilitated their use in the exploration of relational identity. In this study, ceramics from the fifteenth-century southern Ontario Iroquoian Keffer (AkGv-14) village are employed in the exploration of matrilineal, matrilocal household self-identification as seen through ceramic communities of practice. The Keffer assemblage is separated into two categories; local tradition ceramics which I suggest represent genealogies of family practice, and non-local tradition pottery, which I propose communicates contemporary relations and long distance interaction. In addition, a new, third category of ceramics is proposed {\textquotedblleft}emergent vessels.{\textquotedblright} Emergent ceramics are materialized in two separate and distinct vessel forms in the collection, the Everted Lip and North Shore Durfee Underlined. Their sudden and geographically restricted materialization reflects the equally sudden appearance of newly emergent facets of the polyvalent identities of potting communities as seen at Keffer and other north shore sites. The short-term production and use of these emergent ceramics attests to the quickly diminishing importance of these new emergent aspects of identity while the ceramics of the latest village occupations verify the endurance and gradual transformation of those facets of identity tied to family genealogy and long distance interaction.

This article is a narrative of the challenges I have experienced as a white-passing Indigenous scholar. I discuss my conscious decision to conceal my Indigenous heritage during my undergraduate education due to subtle and overt forms of marginalization. I also examine the role of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and some community engagement experiences that inspired me to proudly divulge my Indigenous identity during my graduate career. My personal narrative highlights some of the issues that exist for Indigenous peoples studying in a colonial setting. I share how I have coped with these challenges by engaging with my culture, and the Indigenous teachings I have received. It is my hope that my Truth will encourage fellow archaeologists to reflect on their own experiences of marginalization, complacency, and/or culpability so that we can work together and move toward Reconciliation in a good way.

In this paper, I present a historical overview to evaluate methodological and theoretical contexts that have impacted the study of Indigenous childhood in archaeology in the Great Lakes region. Until recently, the study of childhood practice has been largely overlooked, and our understanding of childhood has been limited to bioarchaeological studies of ancestral remains to address questions of health, diet, and disease, with less focus on childhood practices. Rather than a paucity of empirical data, I suggest that it is a theoretical emphasis on cultural history and its legacy that has resulted in restrictive models. Recently, emerging scholars have contributed significantly to the development of methodological and theoretical frameworks and have begun asking broader questions about identity and knowledge production. In this paper, I highlight the impact social archaeology has had on the archaeological research of Indigenous childhood in the Great Lakes region. I follow by identifying trends and future directions of childhood studies that are currently being pursued in the Great Lakes region. Growing our understanding of childhood in the past not only fleshes out past actors in archaeological narratives but also enhances understanding of broader social and economic practices in the region and provides frameworks to contribute to the broader theoretical arguments taking place in the anthropology of childhood.

The Cluny Fortified Village Site (EePf-1), a Protocontact site (A.D. 1400{\textendash} 1750), has been assigned to the One Gun phase of southern Alberta. While culturally distinct, certain aspects of ceramic decoration and fortification construction are similar to counterparts in the Northeastern Plains Village complex (Toom 2004). Northeastern Plains Village complex sites represent maize horticulturalists in portions of North Dakota, and parts of southern Manitoba and are considered to be an archaeological culture separate from but contiguous with Middle Missouri tradition villages of the Dakotas (Toom 2004). Due to general similarities with maize horticultural cultures to the south and east, it is reasonable to look for evidence of maize at Cluny where it may have been grown, or present as a trade item. The present study addresses this question using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of archaeological bone collagen. No human remains were found at Cluny, so bone collagen from dogs was used as a proxy. Bone collagen from bison was also analysed because bison feed on both C3 and C4 grasses, and therefore consumption of bison by dogs may result in stable carbon isotope ratios that mimic maize consumption. Bison remains had a predominantly C3 plant signature. Dogs at Cluny were consuming little or no maize based on stable isotope analysis of their collagen. Based on the canine surrogacy approach, these results indicate that maize was not a significant part of the diet at Cluny, so while some cultural characteristics of the site reflect a Northeastern Plains Village affiliation, diet is not one of them.

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.

Dr. Howard G. Savage, one of the founders of zooarchaeology in Canada, taught the Faunal Archaeo-Osteology course at the University of Toronto from the 1970s to the 1990s. Hundreds of students completed the course, taking away a solid appreciation of zooarchaeological data generation, representation, and analysis. In this article, we consider why the course had a profoundly positive influence on so many students and examine how Dr.\ Savage{\textquoteright}s legacy lives on in zooarchaeology in Ontario. We then interrogate the appropriateness of transferring lessons of an undergraduate course into professional approaches and find that this transferring has indirectly resulted in an arbitrary and insufficiently large sample size appearing in government guidelines for professional archaeologists. Similarly, practices that were deemed appropriate in a university course context, such as a tendency to not identify fish vertebrae, have carried over into professional standards and practice and have resulted in biased zooarchaeological datasets. We argue that accepted practices within zooarchaeology in the province need to be revised and strengthened.

Small lichen-obscured petroglyphs carved onto a rock face on the outskirts of the community of Upper Island Cove (UIC), Newfoundland have been known to residents for at least 75 years. The glyphs are comprised of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures as well as Roman-type script. Photogrammetry and Highlight-Reflectance Transformation Imaging were employed to document and analyse the inscriptions as well as to interpret the sequence of carving. Stylistic comparisons with similar petroglyphs in northeastern North America appear to situate the Upper Island Cove example within the cultural traditions of Algonquian- speaking peoples. The UIC carvings are thought to date to the historic period, yet when and by whom these petroglyphs were carved remains uncertain. Their age, however, is of secondary importance to their cultural attribution, as they are the first Indigenous petroglyphs recorded on the island of Newfoundland.

Although the advantages of archaeological remote sensing have long been known, the techniques have still not been fully incorporated into standard archaeological practice. Drawing upon the example of an archaeological remote sensing survey conducted in April 2022 and subsequent excavation in July 2022 at the Chimney Coulee site (DjOe-6) in Saskatchewan, we demonstrate the value of the integration of remote sensing methods early and throughout an entire project. Over the span of five days, we were able to use drone-based light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and orthoimagery, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and magnetic gradiometry alongside more traditional archaeological survey methods to survey the site and locate two probable late nineteenth-century M{\'e}tis cabins. The use of remote sensing techniques allowed for the efficient identification of future excavation areas and comparisons to previous mapping work and generated new questions about the site. This paper provides a methodological example of non-invasive archaeological survey for non-specialists and demonstrates how students and early career researchers can play an important role in the advancement of Canadian archaeology by experimenting with new ways of conducting archaeological survey and mapping.

Since 2014, the Tay Point Archaeology Project has actively investigated Ahatsistari (BeGx-76) and Chew (BeGx-9), two Huron-Wendat village sites. Archaeological and historical evidence suggest Ahatsistari and Chew are good candidates for the historically referenced villages of Carhagouha and Quieunonascaran respectively, visited by the French ca. 1615{\textendash}1616\ CE and 1623{\textendash}1624\ CE. The geographic locations, inter-village distances, and sizes of Ahatsistari and Chew correspond with historic accounts of Carhagouha and Quieunonascaran. Recovered European-made artifacts securely date Ahatsistari to the first quarter and Chew to the second quarter of the seventeenth century, matching the recorded occupations of Carhagouha and Quieunonascaran. Exceptionally high glass bead densities and unusual European trade items point to intense trade between the French and Huron-Wendat and the presence of notable European visitors at Ahatsistari. Still to be located at Ahatsistari are a triple palisade and small cabin outside the village of Carhagouha that was occupied by Samuel de Champlain, Recollect friar Joseph Le Caron, and French traders.

Results of highly detailed mapping and radiocarbon dating at a vast and largely unknown intertidal fish trap complex indicate a large-scale, technologically sophisticated Aboriginal trap fishery operated at Comox Harbour, Vancouver Island, British Columbia between about 1,300 and 100 years ago. Two temporally and morphologically distinct trap types were utilized, and the shift from the Winged Heart trap type to the Winged Chevron trap type ca.\ 700\ B.P. appears abrupt and closely coincident with Little Ice Age climatic conditions and increased importance of salmon at Aboriginal village sites on west coast Vancouver Island, at Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands) and south coast Alaska. Drawing comparisons from closely analogous historical and contemporary North American large-scale traps designed with knowledge of fish behaviour, the Winged Heart and Winged Chevron traps were likely designed to mass harvest herring and salmon, respectively. This study contributes to the wider consideration of marine adaptation on the Pacific Northwest Coast.

High collared pottery rim sherds from sites designated as Huron-Wendat and St. Lawrence Iroquoian are analysed using a community of practice approach. Using several analytical methods on the same ceramic sherds, we aimed to determine the technological choices made by potters. We focused specifically on clay selection, temper selection and processing, preparation of the clay body and formation of the rim. Our findings demonstrate that for each step in the production process there are a range of practices represented within the study region. However, comparison with adjacent areas and earlier periods shows that there is consistency in technological choices that are specific to our study area. We argue that this is consistent with connections between the pottery making traditions in the Simcoe Uplands in Ontario and the St. Lawrence Valley areas. As traditions were maintained by people, so we envision connected communities across the study area.

In the earlier trial before the British Columbia Supreme Court the Tsilhqot{\textquoteright}in First Nations presented a substantial corpus of archaeological evidence to complement historical evidence, oral histories, and Tsilhqot{\textquoteright}in testimony regarding the locations of Tsilhqot{\textquoteright}in villages and the type and duration of their occupations. We examined this body of archaeological data in the context of the judicial proceedings to understand which data were considered favourably by the court and why. We found that the trial court accepted archaeological data as evidence of occupation on definite tracts of land at the time of sovereignty, agreeing with the Tsilhqot{\textquoteright}in plaintiffs that the evidence met the legal standards for continuous and sufficient occupation. Because the Supreme Court Tsilhqot{\textquoteright}in decision is the paramount statement on Aboriginal title, the treatment and consideration of archaeological data in that decision will likely set standards for and guide improvements to the applications of archaeological data in title cases.

Archaeological investigations indicate that the Beothuk had a significant presence in the Trinity Bay region of southeastern Newfoundland in the centuries prior to the arrival of European fishermen in the 16th century. The Beothuk presence in this area continued for over a century following contact, but in time diminished as European activity and settlement increased.

Researchers have recognized the importance of portage routes to Pre-contact Aboriginal people in the Northeast of North America since the late nineteenth century. However, little explicit attention has been paid to identifying and interpreting possible archaeological signatures for portage routes. Here we offer the Mill Brook Stream site as a component of a portage which provided a two-way link to Washademoak Lake, the source for Washademoak Multi-coloured Chert, with New Brunswick{\textquoteright}s Lower Saint John River Valley. We analyze the site in terms of its geographic criteria, its location in relation to the end of canoe navigability, and through the use of a heat-treating experiment. We draw analogies between Historic period accounts of portages and archaeological evidence at Mill Brook Stream; combined, this information is used to outline a correlate for portage-related sites associated with bulk procurement. To facilitate this discussion, we include a glossary of terms to describe portages and portage-related activities.

Evidence of Maritime Woodland period (ca. 3150\–ca. 550 B.P.) domestic architecture from the Quoddy Region of New Brunswick and Maine has been identified and reported since the late nineteenth century. Here we summarize this evidence, reinterpret it in light of recent high-resolution studies of prehistoric (pre-contact) domestic features in Nova Scotia, and report a recent study addressing domestic architectural features in the Maine Quoddy Region. Overall, this evidence suggests an aboriginal architectural tradition, and continuity in the organization of domestic space, spanning the Maritime Woodland period and extending into the recent historic period. Within this tradition there is evidence for variability and change in the placement of structures and perhaps in the intensity and duration of occupation. We argue that domestic architecture may be a particularly salient focus through which to study cultural continuity and change in hunter-gatherer society, because it is an important arena for social reproduction, structured by the relationships among social actors.

The Maritime Peninsula, the eastern homeland of the Wabanaki, forms a defensible archaeological region, but one divided by an international border. Research from either side of the border remains poorly integrated. In this paper, I consider the history of the institutional-scale research in the region{\textemdash}that is, the organizations supporting, publishing, and regulating archaeological research. Archaeology in the State of Maine developed an outward orientation early on, with research largely sponsored by out-of-state institutions. In contrast, work in the Maritime provinces (Maritimes) was dominated by local natural history societies. A relative dearth of research on both sides of the border for much of the twentieth century served to secure these trends before they were calcified legislatively at the provincial level in the Maritimes and in connection with federal legislation in Maine. As a result, archaeology in the Maritimes is marked in large part by a focus on objects and inventories of objects, a generalist approach that blurs historical and precontact archaeology, and an iterative approach to defining archaeological significance. In contrast, work in Maine tends to emphasize survey and the definition of sites and is more clearly problem oriented with conservative criteria for historical significance. As a result, attempts at regional integration may need to be aimed at some of these scales.

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.

Centuries of looting has repeatedly unearthed the archaeological remains of First Nations middens, villages, and cemeteries. This paper presents a case for new measures to curtail these illicit practices in Ontario. Over the last decade, many archaeologists have espoused a program of sustainable archaeology. I suggest protections of in situ contexts against looting will further the objectives of sustainable archaeology and contribute to this broader trajectory of practice in the province. Using the history of looting and archaeological conditions at Neutral Iroquoian (Attawandaron) sites, along with information from modern collectors, the paper reveals the persistent threat of looting and the necessity for action. I suggest the province, municipalities, and archaeological stakeholders deploy policies aimed at preserving these resources into the future. I advocate for a stewardship of personal and collective responsibility among property owners and hobbyists through educational initiatives, legal easement agreements, and existing legislative mandates to serve as a pragmatic step towards the long-term sustainable protection of these sites.

In December of 1934 the Society for American Archaeology was officially constituted. In 1935, in an effort to grow the membership, professional archaeologists were asked to propose members who they endorsed to become affiliated with the SAA. The two professional archaeologists in Canada at that time, Diamond Jenness and William J. Wintemberg of the Dominion Museum, Ottawa, proposed names of individuals across Canada who were collectors, museum curators, and historians. A small number suggested for membership joined, but most did not. This was an interesting period in North American archaeology as professionals worked in committees to establish cultural and temporal frameworks of the archaeological past, establish excavation guidelines, and lobby against the sale of antiquities. Some Canadian avocationals who joined were positively impacted by their association with American archaeologists and their legacies continue through to today. The bottom line is that there were very few professional archaeologists in Canada following Wintemberg{\textquoteright}s death in 1941, and that lack coupled with WWII, meant that Canadians looking for professional support and guidance looked to the south of the border. The Society for American Archaeology was important for the growth and development of Canadian archaeology during this time.

We argue that an unsettled, strength-based approach necessitates a future-oriented archaeology.

In this introduction to the special issue, we examine some of the ways that settler colonialism permeates archaeology in Canada and argue for unsettling approaches to archaeology. Archaeology is a product of and remains a tool for settler colonialism, often oppressing both people of the past and people in the present, especially Indigenous People, Black People, People of Colour, and LGBTQ2S+ community members. We call for unsettling research paradigms, which aim to disrupt the settler colonial foundations that continue to permeate archaeological work and ensure that it benefits only a select few. Unsettling approaches target not only the work we do as archaeologists, but also the structures our work operates through, including universities, museums, different levels of government, and heritage policy and legislation governing private sector archaeology. They require us to acknowledge and confront our relationships to settler colonialism and the ways we participate in it, in all aspects of our lives. Unsettling paradigms play out differently within each project and for each participant, depending on individuals{\textquoteright} unique relationships to settler colonialism, their own experiences, and the context. As illustrated in the papers in this special issue, they encompass themes of truth, listening, learning, feeling, relinquishing control, and building strong futures. To move towards an archaeology that is anti-colonial, anti-racist, and anti-mysogynist, we must address the deeply embedded colonialism, racism, and misogyny in Canadian settler colonial structures and society. We must start by addressing them within ourselves and the institutions that govern and support our work. Because the unequal power relations within archaeology are so entrenched and pervasive, change may come slowly. It will involve long-term commitment to an ongoing cycle of learning, feeling (particularly when we feel uncomfortable), questioning, and most importantly, acting.

A pair of shield bearing warriors and an associated circle painted at DgOv-83 in Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park in southern Alberta has been identified as an iconic representation since it was first recorded in 1976. Photographic images of this site taken in 2012 were recently analyzed using the DStretch enhancement program and it was discovered that the three figures were not an iconic composition but rather a biographic narrative coup count tally recording the war honors of a Late Prehistoric period Blackfoot warrior. Coup-strike bows floating above each warrior and a club floating near the legs of one of them document coups counted on these men, while each warrior is also shot by several arrows. Once the two warriors are identified as enemies on whom coup has been counted, the associated circle can now be easily understood as a shield captured as a war trophy by the artist who painted the tally composition.

We provide a critical response to Andrew Martindale and Natasha Lyons\’ 2014 special section on Community-Oriented Archaeology (Canadian Journal of Archaeology Volume 38, Issue 2), discussing the authors\’ definitions, interpretations, and motivations around archaeology and community. By not defining archaeology in terms of how it is most commonly practiced, we argue the collective work misses the mark, with serious consequences for descendent communities. We show how Community-Oriented Archaeology appropriates the challenge posed to archaeologists to make their discipline relevant and responsive to Indigenous communities; instead, the authors foreground archaeology itself and reaffirm the privilege of non-Indigenous archaeologists, especially academic archaeologists. By considering what is excluded and taken-for-granted, we examine the special section in terms of selection bias and revisionist history. We suggest Community-Oriented Archaeology co-opts aspects of Indigenous, critical, and radical discourses to legitimize the institution and practice, in the process forgetting what is at stake for Indigenous peoples. Rather than focusing on the needs of archaeology and archaeologists, we emphasize the interests of Indigenous communities and address uncomfortable truths about institutional racism and systemic inequality. As the editors had hoped, Community-Oriented Archaeology makes us \“squirm,\” but not for the reasons they intended.

This paper considers the beginnings of archaeological research in Banff National Park and the prominent role played by a housepit site at the Banff Springs golf course. As the Rocky Mountains were first explored, Banff was a focus for early scientific activity, including archaeology. Foremost among the amateur collectors in the late 19th and early 20th century were Bill Peyto, guide and warden, and Norman Bethune Sanson, curator of the Banff Park Museum. Professional archaeologist Harlan I. Smith came to Banff in 1913 from the Victoria Memorial Museum in Ottawa to bring order to the Banff Park Museum collections. All three were involved in recording the housepit site, the first professional archaeological work in Alberta, resulting in the first formally protected archaeological site in Canada. While archaeologists have since discovered housepit sites in other parts of Banff NP, they are unknown elsewhere in the province or in the Rocky Mountains. Without the historic record, modern archaeologists would be unaware of a significant site that was ultimately destroyed, even though it was in a protected area.

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.

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.

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.

The Below Forks site (FhNg-25) is situated on a point bar terrace in the Saskatchewan River valley. The deepest component, dated to 6100\ B.P., was focused on a hearth in association with thousands of pieces of debitage and faunal fragments. It produced a Gowen type point and a variety of stone tools, including grinding stones. Hide processing, core reduction and preform shaping were major activities, with most of the lithic materials procured from deposits of cobbles lining the river\’s edge.

The diverse biotic communities of the site area, as indicated by geoarchaeological studies, as well as the abundant lithics, produced a rich environmental \“patch\”. Immature bison remains suggest a spring or early summer occupation and it appears that the site occupants travelled here to replenish their toolstone depleted in the course of the winter. Below Forks was a locale occupied by the members of a well-established, successful regional society in the course of their seasonal movements through a large section of central Saskatchewan.

In this paper, we consider how institutions of kinship facilitated the integration of peoples originating in the St.\ Lawrence Valley into ancestral Huron-Wendat communities in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries AD. We present some general principles regarding the role of kinship in structuring social relations, processes of population movement, and the integration of newcomers. Data on the distributions and frequencies of characteristic St. Lawrence Iroquoian artifacts on four ancestral Huron-Wendat village sites in Ontario, Canada are utilized to infer the scale of population movement and processes of incorporation into lineages and clan segments. We argue that interpretive frameworks that explicitly incorporate categories and institutions of relatedness with traditional material culture analyses can shed new light on how groups of newcomers of varying scale and composition were integrated into Huron-Wendat households and communities.

This paper presents three typologies of stone celts from British Columbia based on morphology, mineralogy and culture historical affiliation. These typologies should aid archaeologists in classifying celts and understanding their regional patterns of distribution. This study is based on a large sample of celts (n\ =\ 1,374) from more than 139 archaeological sites across British Columbia. Mineralogical identification of celts was undertaken using Near-Infrared Spectrometry (NIR). Celt manufacturing technique was found to be closely associated with the raw material used. The results here do not find support for entrenched descriptions of changes in celt morphology through time. Unexpectedly, the Canadian Plateau provided the best evidence for the use of a special type of very large nephrite/jade celts as prestige goods. The results here do not find support for entrenched descriptions of changes in celt morphology through time. Celt abundance was found to vary markedly over the last 3,500 years in the Salish Sea region, with a notable dearth of celts contemporaneous to the depopulation of the Mid-Fraser region around 1000 B.P. This evidence underscores the importance of the appropriate scale of analysis when interpreting local patterns of cultural change.

Heritage legislation is a provincial responsibility in Canada. New heritage legislation was adopted in the Province of Qu{\'e}bec in October, 2012, replacing the 1972 Cultural Properties Act. The Cultural Heritage Act defines new obligations for municipalities and offers new possibilities allowing them to protect and develop their archaeological heritage resources on an elective basis. The City of Qu{\'e}bec has worked closely with public and private partners over the last thirty years to assure the preservation and enhancement of its archaeological resources. The City is currently preparing an archaeological master plan for its territory which includes four legally protected historic districts, one of which is a UNESCO world heritage site. The master plan is being developed in the context of renewed heritage legislation and the adoption of a revised urban master plan required under provincial planning legislation but in a manner to capitalize on major achievements of past efforts. The archaeological master plan will be accompanied by policy and programs designed to foster public interest and promote participation in the process. This article will address challenges to policy and program development. A particular emphasis will be put on meeting expectations expressed in the new provincial Cultural Heritage Act.

Extended terrestrial geomorphic sequences that host well-dated depositional evidence of early to mid-Holocene human interactions with the physical landscape are relatively scarce on the northern Plains. The paucity of such records hampers studies that aim to examine human adaptations to environmental changes in the region during the Hypsithermal (ca.\ 9,000{\textendash}4,500 years ago). Where deposits occur, the absence of well-preserved contemporaneous organic material for radiocarbon dating highlights the need for alternative chronometers. In this study, we present new absolute chronologies from three archaeological sites in an eolian dune landscape in east-central Alberta that we determined using optically stimulated luminescence dating. The results show that between ca.\ 11,000{\textendash}2,000 years ago,\  the local landscape evolved through recurrent episodes of instability, interspersed with periods of soil development. The findings allow us to provide new insights on Holocene landscape evolution in the area and examine adaptations humans made to cope with the Hypsithermal environment, as evidenced by archaeological materials associated with hunting and camping.

The mineralogy and bulk chemical compositions of 33 potsherds (14 shell-tempered, 19 grit-tempered) and local sediments (sand and clay, where present) from six pre-contact Mi{\textquoteright}kmaw sites across southern mainland Nova Scotia were determined, and are compared to samples from a long-used aboriginal site (BdDk-1) near the mouth of Bear River, in the Annapolis Basin. The immediate area around four of these sites (at Brighton, Port Joli, Wynacht Cove and Frost Fish Cove), all coastal, lack surface clay deposits, but good-quality clay is abundant in areas once overlain by glacial lakes. These include the two inland localities (at Enfield and Melanson) and the Annapolis Basin. Grit temper is dominated by the mineralogical constituents of biotite granodiorite found near Bear River. Muscovite is virtually absent, precluding the use of two-mica monzogranite as temper. The mineralogical criteria linking grit-tempered sherds to the Bear River area are supported by statistical analysis of bulk compositional data for the sample suite. Shell-tempered samples lack granodiorite clasts, so are compositionally distinct except where calcium-poor (i.e., contain little shell material). Those from Bear River overlap the compositions of shell-tempered samples from the sites along the Atlantic coast, suggesting a common origin. We postulate that pottery from the Annapolis Basin was distributed to other sites in the province via navigable waterways.

The concept of community coalescence involves the aggregation of previously separate social groups into one communal settlement. This has facilitated a greater understanding of Iroquoian community formation during the Late Woodland of southern Ontario. It is explored as the predominant conceptual approach to better understand the formation of the Tillsonburg Village{\textquoteright}s (AfHe-38) community plan, however, other processes relating to the contemporaneity of village areas or houses are also considered. The site is located in Tillsonburg, Ontario and dates from the late fourteenth to early fifteenth century (AD 1350{\textendash}1420). This paper explores the village{\textquoteright}s particularly large and dispersed community plan through an intra-site analysis of ceramic vessels and longhouse attributes, as these are considered useful indicators of social, organizational, and temporal processes. Spatial and statistical analyses are used to explore spatial patterning of attributes among their associated contexts.

Recently discovered information clearly identifies Hull Landing in Gatineau as the location of a burial place first documented in 1843 and, since the late nineteenth century, believed to have been located across the river in Ottawa. It appears to have been chosen for the burial of generations of people beginning sometime between 4,500 and 4,900 years ago. That same location was the beginning of a major portage. Nearby was a place of great spiritual significance and power: the Chaudi{\`e}re Falls. The delta of the Gatineau River downstream from Hull Landing was a summer gathering place with a wealth of food and lithic resources. People travelled down the Gatineau, Rideau and Ottawa rivers to meet, trade and exchange information beginning some 4,600 years ago. When combined with additional archaeological evidence, accumulated over the past 170 years, it is now apparent that the north shore of the Ottawa River between the Chaudi{\`e}re Falls and the mouth of the Gatineau River constituted a cultural landscape that had been used for somewhere on the order of four to five millennia.

In this paper, Unsettling Archaeology refers to improving how we as archaeologists work with Indigenous communities on their heritage. A fundamental part of this process involves how we train students, and the archaeology field school provides a perfect vehicle in which to explore new avenues. Since 2000, the University of Northern British Columbia has partnered with a number of Indigenous communities on the coast and in the interior of British Columbia, to deliver 13 field schools in various locations. A key pillar of the field school model is the integration and weaving of traditional knowledge taught by community members, and a science-based approach to field methods, taught by university staff. This paper describes the initial field school model and highlights problems and successes with implementation.

The late sixteenth century Huron-Wendat Benson site in the Balsam Lake area of south-central Ontario has produced substantial quantities of a characteristic \‘barred\’ ceramic motif found virtually nowhere else. In addition, it has produced ceramics that are \“hybrids\” of Huron-Wendat and St. Lawrence Iroquoian styles. An analysis of these ceramics leads to the interpretation that they are part of a complex process of power brokering by women in the community. In part this entails symbolic resistance on the part of adopted St. Lawrence Iroquoian women. At the same time, it reveals a strategy used by both St. Lawrence Iroquoian and Huron-Wendat women of sending signals of ambiguous political allegiance, either to achieve a degree of political flexibility, or to attempt to mediate between the community\’s two competing political factions.

These results were then compared to skeletal preservation, coffin use, and burial depth. pH levels ranged between 4.5 (acid) to 7.5 (alkaline). There was a clear correlation between increased skeletal preservation and more neutral pH, as expected. Additionally, mortuary treatment and burial depth were also correlated with soil pH, where individuals interred in a coffin or at deeper depths saw increased soil acidity. The location of these interments in relation to homestead features and defunct lime kilns also likely influenced this pH variability. This study highlights the need to consider previous site use and mortuary practices when assessing differential skeletal preservation in complex cemetery assemblages.

The Lafarge site consists solely of the burial of a young adult man. Four projectile points found with the skeleton can each be associated with traumatic lesions in the bones, showing that he had been struck by four projectiles coming from behind him. Two ribs were also badly fractured and there are scalping cuts on the frontal and left temporal bones. The forms and materials of the points suggest that the assailants were Princess Point people or people from the early Glen Meyer period, but the identity of the victim is unknown. The scalping indicates that he must have been from a different community, but there is no reason to assume that community was distant or culturally distinct from that of his assailants. The isolated location of the burial is early evidence of the fear of the spirits of those killed in combat.

The Quackenbush site (BdGm-l) is located in what is now Ontario, at the northeastern limit of the area known to have been occupied by the Huron-Wendat pre-dispersal and visited by the Anishinaabeg of the Canadian Shield. Excavations of portions of the site half a century ago uncovered parts of three longhouses and midden deposits. We generated the data presented here as part of a larger scholarly effort aimed at analyzing and writing up all of the material culture from the site. We investigate ways in which faunal remains can be used to inform on the nature of the activities conducted at the site and to trace past interactions between the site{\textquoteright}s occupants and people living on the Canadian Shield and in the St. Lawrence Valley at that time, finding tentative evidence for the former and more conclusive evidence for the latter. We hypothesize that people originating from the St. Lawrence Valley were present at the Quackenbush site and making bone artifacts as a way of maintaining or negotiating identity.

The McDonald and Droulers sites, located in Southwestern Quebec, are village settlements of the St.\ Lawrence Iroquoians dating from the fifteenth century A.D. The collections from these sites contain a group of 11 bone projectile points cynlindrical in shape, hollowed, with a concave base and a beveled distal end. An interregional comparison of Iroquoian assemblages of bone artifacts allows the recognition of a type of point that appears to be characteristic of, but not necessarily exclusive to, the St.\ Lawrence Iroquoians, while the variant showing a straight base is more common on sites occupied by the Hurons or ancestral Hurons

The Wakimika Petroglyph site located in northeastern Ontario is a rare rock art site within the Canadian Shield that exhibits stylistic similarities with petroglyph sites of the Lake-of-the-Woods style. This style, identified at the Mud Portage site in northwestern Ontario, has been linked with rock art that could date to between 3000{\textendash}5000\ BCE. The Wakimika petroglyphs are located in the Temagami area that is rich in pictograph sites. On the basis of pictorial content and execution, it is argued that these two types of rock art (petroglyphs and pictographs) did not fulfill the same functions and that the difference between them might stem from the different type of knowledge that these places conveyed.

Glass trade beads recovered during the 2018 excavations of the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette Mission Site (CeEu-11), the site of a c.\ 1673{\textendash}1697 Huron-Wendat village at L{\textquoteright}Ancienne-Lorette (Quebec), were analyzed using Laser Ablation - Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). This minimally invasive analysis, conducted with permission from the Huron-Wendat Nation of Quebec, provides information about glass bead recipes that can be compared to other known samples from across eastern North America. This paper presents compositional analysis results for 78 artifacts (mainly simple, drawn varieties of blue and white beads) and compares the L{\textquoteright}Ancienne-Lorette glass bead compositions to those from other seventeenth-century Wendat archaeological sites in the Western Great Lakes and in Southern Ontario. These sites were occupied both prior to and after the ca. 1650 dispersal of Huron-Wendat people from Wendake. From this research, historic Wendat trade networks and population movements can be inferred.
