	abstract = {<p>The Princess Point promontory at Cootes Paradise, Hamilton, Ontario has a long, rich history of human activity.\&nbsp;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\&ndash;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\&ndash;1000) by people of the Princess Point Complex. Euro-Canadians began using Princess Point during the late eighteenth century.\&nbsp;In the twentieth century, the promontory was incorporated into the Royal Botanical Gardens.</p>}
