Advances in laboratory methods and chronological modeling have greatly refined the practice of radiocarbon dating, permitting more precise age-estimates for archaeological sites and materials than have been previously possible. This report presents new AMS dates on maize and bone collagen from a European-worked needle case from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian Roebuck site. Those dates are then re-presented within a series of Bayesian models to illustrate the benefits of chronological frameworks which include prior information. The results produce an estimate of Roebuck\’s occupation as beginning cal A.D. 1474\–1568 and ending cal A.D. 1524\–1587 (2 sigma), placing the needle case in the very early protohistoric period.

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.

The refutation of Charles Abbott{\textquoteright}s 1872 claim of having recovered Paleolithic artifacts in the Trenton Gravels is a key event in the early history of North American archaeology{\textemdash}with particularly important implications for the archaeology of the Northeast. This article re-examines the historical record, along with a portion of the Abbott Collection at the University of Pennsylvania Museum (Penn Museum), to argue that the case against Abbott was flawed. Thus, rather than a triumph of scientific rigour over the bumbling of an amateur, the triumph of William Henry Holmes over Abbott was more an expression of the dynamics of the emerging academic discipline of archaeology.

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.

Plant and insect remains found in a privy structure were analyzed to gain insight into foodways of Qu{\'e}bec City{\textquoteright}s Lower Town inhabitants in the early nineteenth century. We use dietary practices as a window to examine how the population of the St. Roch neighbourhood responded to changes taking place in the decades that followed the instauration of the British regime and how these changes may have influenced different aspects of their food consumption practices. Through comparisons with assemblages from two French-regime sites as well as from three later nineteenth-century sites, we find that a certain continuity characterizes the plant consumption of Qu{\'e}bec City{\textquoteright}s French-Canadian population. We address some of the challenges of this research, as it is difficult to distinguish between consumption as a choice related to identity versus more practical considerations such as availability and access.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This paper presents a rapid, cost-effective, and non-specialist approach to long-term archaeological site monitoring that is repeatable and affordable. Advances in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based photogrammetry allow for the creation of multi-temporal three-dimensional (3D) models that permit accurate and in-depth analysis and quantification of landscape change through time. This paper presents a case study of aerial-based photogrammetric datasets using UAVs (i.e.,\ drones) to conduct change detection analysis for monitoring continued erosion threatening an Indigenous buffalo jump in Alberta, Canada. The results demonstrate which areas of the site experienced the most significant change over a period of four years. By bridging gaps between traditional field survey and satellite-scale observations of impacts to large archaeological site complexes, UAV monitoring programs may become increasingly important as anthropogenic climate change continues to threaten heritage sites in Canada.

These sites were occupied both prior to and after the ca. 1650 dispersal of Huron-Wendat people from Wendake.
