The similarities shared by the Crane site, Cape Bathurst Peninsula, NWT with Lagoon Site on Banks Island, as well as comparable material on Melville Island, provide the basis for the definition of a regional cultural complex that existed during the period of change from the Pre-Dorset to the Dorset phases of the Palaeoeskimo continuum.

This volume summarizes two seasons of archaeological survey and a brief reconnaissance at Great Bear Lake in 1972, 1976 and 1979. The survey was restricted primarily to the northern and northwestern shores of the lake, a region that was occupied at the time of historic contact by the Hare group of Athapaskans (Dene). Approximately 140 lithic (prehistoric) sites were located and are described together with the same number of historic camps, structures and caribou fences.

Volume two examines such developments as the replacement of the earlier spearthrower by the bow and arrow, the introduction of pottery from the south, the importance of communal hunting of bison on the Plains, and the appearance of ranked societies on the West Coast.

An archaeological survey of Calling Lake, situated in the mixed wood forest zone approximately 225 km north of Edmonton, found an abundance of prehistoric material at sites on the east and southeast shore. Four prehistoric campsites were excavated in three field seasons from l966 to 1968. Comparison of projectile point styles with types dated elsewhere suggest that occupation of two of the sites began in the interval 3000 to 1000 B.C. with major occupation of the other two sites starting somewhat later. Cultural affiliations appear to be with the Taltheilei tradition and earlier, with the Plains area.

The concept of taphonomy has been borrowed from paleontology and applied to the analysis of vertebrate fossils from the Old Crow region of the northern Yukon Territory. By means of this approach, archaeologically significant specimens have been isolated from the larger suite of materials which can be explained entirely in terms of natural processes. The analysis indicates that human occupation began in eastern Beringia more than 50,000 years ago and probably was continuous from that time onward, but primary archaeological deposits will be needed to clarify the historical and paleo-environmental significance of these finds.

Excavations at the Lagoon site (OjRl-3) on the southern coast of Banks Island, Northwest Territories have provided a database with which to formulate hypotheses concerning the Paleoeskimo culture history of the western periphery of the Canadian Arctic at ca. 500 B.C.
