Part I. An analysis of Haida mortuary practices using data from historical sources and from three excavated burial locations. Part 2. The osteological analysis of one of these sites – The Gust Island burial shelter, Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia.
Contains seven papers dealing with the physical anthropology of earlier Canadian Native populations or with subject materials relevant to the interpretation of their skeletal remains. Included are two site reports on prehistoric burials from British Columbia, a detailed investigation of mandibular torus, a skeletal trait commonly reported in Arctic populations and problems in paleopathology.
This volume describes the activities of the Archaeological Survey of Canada, National Museum of Man, for the years 1980 and 1981. / Un rapport sur les activités du Commission archéologique du Canada, Musée national de l’Homme pendant les années 1980 à 1981.
A report on the activities of the Archaeological Survey of Canada, National Museum of Man for the years 1977 to 1979.
The six archaeological reports in this issue pertain to salvage operations carried out under contract with the Archaeological Survey of Canada, National Museum of Man. Three of the projects were located in southern Alberta, one each in northern and southern Saskatchewan, and one in southern Manitoba.
Excavations in 1971 and 1972 reveal two major occupation levels at the Estuary Bison Pound site, located near the head of a large coulee on the south bank of the South Saskatchewan River, just below its confluence with the Red Deer River. They present strong evidence to suggest that the Old Women’s phase developed from the Avonlea phase.
This volume presents the results of archaeological work along the Skeena River between 1966 and 1971 and includes excavation reports for Gitaus (GdTc-2) and Gitlaxdzawk (GdTc-1), village sites in the Kitselas Canyon, and the Hagwilget Canyon site (GhSv-2). Also included are reports on site surveys along the river and on the petroglyphs of the Kitselas Canyon area.
Material from small-scale excavations near the Inuit-Native interface relates to several periods of Inuit prehistory but shows also interior or non-Inuit influence.
Archaeological work between 1972 and 1977 in Port Refuge recovered evidence of several prehistoric occupations of the area, ascribed to Independence I, Pre-Dorset, Independence II/Early Dorset, Late Dorset and Thule cultures. This report describes the findings related to Independence II and Dorset cultures, both on the south coast of Grinnell Peninsula and on adjacent Dundas Island.
Excavation of a number of pit house sites at Anahim Lake in the central plateau of British Columbia has resulted in the definition of five components, the last two attributed to the Chilcotin. There are significant resemblances between these two components and Athabaskan complexes recorded elsewhere in North America. In this second part of this publication, analysis of the vertebrate remains from Potlatch site reveal much about the subsistence of the Chilcotin. Significant changes occurred in the percentage of vertebrate remains through time. Evidence of butchering and artifactual modification are discussed. Range changes of several species are of zoological interest.
