Archaeological Reconnaissance at Great Bear Lake
Author: Donald Woodforde Clark
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 1772821292
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
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.

Archaeological Research at Calling Lake, Northern Alberta
Author: Ruth Gruhn
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 1772820938
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
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.

Taphonomy and Archaeology in the Upper Pleistocene of the Northern Yukon Territory
Author: Richard E. Morlan
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 177282089X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
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.

Drum Songs

Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Abel stresses the adaptability of the Dene and their ability to make rational and satisfying choices when faced with a variety of external pressures. By reconstructing important moments in Dene history, she demonstrates how they have been able to maintain a sense of cultural distinctiveness in the face of overwhelming economic, political, and cultural pressures from European newcomers. Her interpretation questions the standard perception that aboriginal peoples in Canada have been passive victims in the colonization process.
