Archaeological Survey of Canada: Annual Review 1975 and 1976


Book Description

A review of the activities of the Archaeological Survey of Canada for the years 1975 and 1976.




DeBlicquy


Book Description

This study summarizes archaeological excavations in the DeBlicquy site, Bathurst Island, Northwest Territories and the resulting data gathered in July 1961 of a typical Thule culture winter village of the Canadian High Arctic. Stylistic analysis suggests that the site was occupied during middle Thule times and can probably be dated between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries A.D.




Hood Site


Book Description

A description, analysis and interpretation of the Hood site (AiHa-7), a large Historic Neutral town excavated during the summer of 1977. In addition to offering a glimpse of Historic Neutral life just prior to their dispersal in the mid-seventeenth century, this report provides a basis for comparison and assessment of the unusual assemblage from the nearby and contemporaneous Hamilton site. An attempt is made to explain inter-site variability through documented cultural-historical events and also by an explanation of possible sample biases. This publication also includes the report "The Bogle I and Bogle II Sites: Historic Neutral Hamlets of the Northern Tier."




McIntyre Site


Book Description

Consists of five papers which provide new, detailed perspectives on the interrelated cultural and natural aspects of a major component of the Late Archaic of southern Ontario. Includes: a description and analysis of the archaeological evidence from hearth pit features and artifacts collected; identification of plant and faunal remains recovered from pit fill; and, reconstruction of the regional vegetation history based primarily upon pollen and lithologic data contained in sediment cores lifted from Rice Lake adjacent to the McIntyre site.




Upon the Point


Book Description

Multivariate statistical techniques are applied to the data for 24 discrete variables on projectile points from sites identified as Blackfoot, Crow, Shoshoni or Kutenai. It is concluded that ethnic affiliation has produced quantifiable variability that can be used to discriminate between assemblages.




Bruner-Colasanti Site


Book Description

Archaeological investigation of the Bruner-Colasanti site, a one hectare, Early Late Woodland, late fall to early spring, encampment located in extreme southwestern Ontario which was occupied during the twelveth century A.D. The site offers a rare glimpse of the cold season adaptation of peoples who are otherwise best known from their warm season encampments located along the Lake Erie shore in the Point Pelee vicinity and westward within the extensive physiographic region of Lake Erie’s western basin.




Tipi Rings and Plains Prehistory


Book Description

This study compares a model of the relationship between tipi and the tipi ring, using primarily ethnographic information, to data from the British Block Cairn site in southeastern Alberta. It demonstrates that the tipi required a considerable investment of raw materials, and, as a result, the tipi ring is a product of a carefully reasoned decision on the correct anchoring strategy for a given environmental setting.




Thule Eskimo Culture


Book Description

Proceedings of a symposium devoted to Thule archaeology and related northern studies, held at the tenth annual meeting of the Canadian Archaeological Association in Ottawa in 1977. The thirty-one papers range from Thule chronology and culture history, prehistoric-recent continuities, adaptation and climatological relationships, site interpretations, technology and art, human biology, to the history of archaeological development.
