Small sites in the northern Alberta mountains and foothills

J. Brink

Abstract

Archaeological surveys and excavations in the Grande Cache/Wilmore wilderness region of Alberta have identified small sites as a dominant expression of the prehistory of the area. The nature, location and content of these sites is discussed. The sites are compared to the larger, excavated sites from the same region, and relationships explored. Comments on the meaning of these small sites in a regional prehistoric context are offered.
