Abstract

A revision of the Laurentian Archaic Concept for the Middle Ottawa Valley is made possible using data from the Morrison and Allumettes Islands Sites. Data from Morrison Island has been published recently and it will be summarized here along with the first conclusions stemming from the preliminary analyses of the Allumettes Island site collections. It will thus be possible to discuss the analytical potential of these two sites for the understanding of the human occupation of the Middle Ottawa Valley during the Late Archaic.
