1963 field work reveals artifacts and structures of Pre-Dorset, Dorset, Thule and recent Eskimo occupations at several localities in the area surveyed. The author refers to earlier field work, comments on regional variations in cultures represented in the report, documents a western extension of Dorset culture and offers hypotheses on the origins of the historic Caribou Eskimo and Copper Eskimo.

Examination of a multi-component caribou crossing site on the Thelon River, Keewatin District reveals a series of sequential occupations by different cultural and linguistic groups consisting of Algonkian-speakers (Shield Archaic tradition), followed by Eskimo-speakers (Arctic Small Tool tradition), followed by Athabascan-speakers (Taltheilei Shale tradition), followed by Eskimo-speakers (historic Caribou Eskimos).

Description and analysis of artifacts and fauna in three historic components of a small stratified site on the Porcupine River, in the northern Yukon Territory.

During the occupation of this site, a lowering of the Lake Huron water level resulted in dramatic ecological changes that are clearly reflected in the subsistence pattern of the Archaic hunters and fishermen. Cultural continuity is seen to exist from the Archaic (Inverhuron Archaic) through the Initial Woodland (Saugeen culture) periods and an unbroken tradition, referred to as the Inverhuron tradition, is proposed with a time span of more than 1,600 years.

Description and analysis of artifacts, fauna and features in a small summer season occupation characteristic of the Vunta Kutchin.

This study attempts to elucidate the temporal and spatial interrelationships between the barrenland Pre-Dorset peoples, climates and caribou herds in the period 1500-700 B.C. Items such as discreteness of herds and human bands, band movements and communication and differing cultural patterns as evidenced in artifacts, are discussed. All are used in the formulation of the discrete band / discrete herd relationship.

The position of Lake Athabasca relative to the Plains, Boreal Forest, and Arctic physiographic zones, which have changed through time in response to climatic fluctuations, has resulted in cultures adapted to these three zones occupying areas of the lake during certain periods. During the later prehistory, the western half of the lake was exploited by a Plains-derived, bison hunting culture whereas the eastern half of the lake was exploited by a Boreal Forest-derived, caribou hunting culture.

Metric and non-metric techniques of analysis are used to study the interrelationships of the Haida, Kwakuitl, Nootka, and Coast Salish ethnic divisions of British Columbia. Both between and within group variation is considered based on crania in museum collections.

Archaeological data is presented to show that populations of two significantly contrasting cultural traditions and subsistence patterns, one spreading south from the north, and the other expanding northward from the south, appear to have been involved in the post-glacial settlement of the Northwest Coast of North America.

Following limited testing in 1972, extended excavations were conducted during 1973 and 1974 of the Cactus Flower site. Ten occupations and a long series of natural stratigraphic units were defined. Although sporadic occupation during the Pelican Lake phase is apparent, most of the levels are attributable to the McKean Complex, dated between 3000 and 1500 B.C. This occupation at Cactus Flower appears to represent late spring to early autumn hunting camps. The excavations provide the best picture to date of the McKean Complex on the Canadian Plains.

The Grant Lake site, located on the Dubawnt River in west-central Keewatin District, consists of a number of horizontally discrete living floors that pertain to the Agate Basin complex of the Palaeo-Indian period. It is proposed that the environment during the occupation between 6000 and 7000 B.C. was similar to present conditions.

Archaeological survey and excavation at Lake Nipigon has revealed the presence of Shield, Laurel, and Algonkian cultures with the most intensive occupation during the Terminal Woodland period. Evidence is also presented for the interaction of the Western Algonkians of the area with Northern, Southern and Eastern Algonkian groups.

This volume consists of a series of papers that examine various aspects, archaeological and ethnographic, of the interior Inuit and their neighbours of northern Alaska.

A compilation of thirteen papers dealing with the techniques of excavation, kinds of artifacts recovered and methods of preservation of perishable materials from water-saturated sites of the Northwest Coast, originally presented at the 29^th Annual Northwest Anthropological Conference in 1974.

A number of aspects of the prehistory of northern Ontario are considered in these reports. Of central concern are the spatial variations of the Terminal Woodland ceramics and the evidence for the transition from the Laurel assemblage into Blackduck assemblage.

A report on the Glenrose Cannery Site (DgRr6) which spans over 6,000 years of Fraser Delta prehistory from circa 8000 B.P. - 2000 B.P. The analysis concentrates on the reconstruction of prehistoric subsistence patterns evidenced from the site.

Black Lake was occupied on a discontinuous basis from approximately 6000 B.C. to the historic period by cultures originating from a number of different physiographic zones. An economical model outlines the historic and late prehistoric dependance of the Chipewyan on the barren ground caribou herds.

This thesis attempts to delineate a cultural-chronological sequence from northwestern Ontario extending from the historic period to approximately 5000 B.C. Four phases representing three cultural traditions are defined.

Description of a unique style of bison pound, involving enlargement and modification of a natural depression near the edge of a deep coulee. Analysis of data indicates the major period of site occupancy occurred between circa 150 to 965 A.D. during the Avonlea and Old Women's phases.

The discrete band / discrete herd association is used to explore 8,000 years of barrenland prehistory at the Migod site, west-central Keewatin District, Northwest Territories The association appears applicable in the four traditions represented ─ Agate Basin, Shield Archaic, Pre-Dorset and Taltheilei.

A study of technology, subsistence and settlement patterns of the late Pre-Dorset people who occupied a large coastal site near Churchill, Manitoba around 3,000 years ago.

This study defines an early Late Woodland manifestation in southwestern Ontario, the Princess Point Complex. This complex is seen as an early developmental stage of the Ontario Iroquois Tradition. Evidence is presented for changing subsistence and settlement patterns in response to the introduction of maize horticulture.

The origin and development of historic Caribou Inuit culture from prehistoric classic Thule is explained using archaeological and ethnohistorical evidence.

A model relating human cognition to the decisions made in tool manufacture is advanced as a substitute for those approaches to artifact classification which rely only on morphology. The model is related to experiments designed to link specific input conditions (in stone fracture) with particular output features (flake and core attributes) and is used to resolve processual questions concerning projectile points from four Palaeo-Indian localities.

The Saugeen culture of southwestern Ontario (circa 700 B.C and 800 A.D.) is examined at intrasite and intersite levels of comparisons. It is suggested that the Saugeen, Point Peninsula and North Bay cultures should be considered as Middle Tier cultures which interacted to varying degrees with the Southern Tier Hopewellian cultures and the Northern Tier Laurel culture.

The Majorville is a large cairn located in the centre of a medicine wheel, situated south of Bassano, Alberta, on the banks of the Bow River. Stratigraphic excavation indicates initial construction in Oxbow times, with additional accretions ending in the Historic Period. Cultural continuity in ritual practice in the Plains over a period of 5,000 years is thus established.

Using selected ceramic attributes from twenty-eight prehistoric and historic Iroquoian sites in Ontario an attempt is made to demonstrate the existence of clustering of historically related sites. These data are then used to outline the economic and political processes which produced the mid-seventeenth century Huron-Petun populations.

Ten samples of skeletal material, from the archaeological sites of Morrison's Island, Allumette Island, Hind, Cole, Picton, Frontenac Island, Oconto, Riverside, Osceola, and Reigh, are described and examined with regard to cremation techniques, pathological conditions, dental characteristics and population affinities. Apparent breeding isolates as well as population similarities covering great distances complicate the pattern of population interrelationships.

Archaeological and ethnohistoric evidence is presented to conclude that the Arrow Lakes region of southeastern British Columbia has been an integrated part of the Columbia plateau for at least 3,300 years.

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

This study is an analysis and functional interpretation of the cultural remains from a Middle Period bison hunters' campsite situated in the parklands of central Saskatchewan. The Harder site, excavated by the author during 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972, and radiocarbon dated at 3,400 years, belongs to the Oxbow archaeological complex.

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.

A contribution to the archaeological identification of the Beothuks, this study presents data on the settlement pattern and lithic assemblage from four coastal sites in Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland. Radiocarbon dates ranging from A.D. 210 to 905 suggests that this bay, if not the entire island, was cohabitated by Dorset Inuit and the Beothuks. It is theorized that these Natives are derived from the previous Maritime Archaic occupation and are a direct link to the historically known Beothuks.

Ten Thule house ruins were excavated during 1968 and 1969 at Silumiut, Kamarvik, and Igluligardjuk, major winter settlements along Roes Welcome Sound and northwestern Hudson Bay. Radiocarbon dating places the occupation of these sites at the end of the twelveth century A.D. This work expands Mathiassen's original investigation of Thule culture southward from Repulse Bay.

Archaeological investigation of two small house-pit sites located at Hahanudan Lake near the village of Huslia in the Koyukuk River drainage of western interior Alaska has produced lithic assemblages with Norton and Ipiutak culture characteristics. Radiocarbon dating indicates that cross ties are with the latter. This work expands the previously inland range of Ipiutak culture which is known primarily from coastal sites in northwestern Alaska.

Cette monographie est la reproduction d'une thèse de maîtrise présentée au département d'anthropologie de l'université de Montréal en 1970. L'ouvrage constitue le rapport de fouilles exécutées durant l'été de 1968 sur le gisement de Gitaus (GdTc :2) dans le canyon des Kitselas de la rivière Skeena (Colombie Britannique) par George F. MacDonald du Musée national de l'Homme, auxquelles l'auteur participait.

This report is the first of an anticipated series on the investigations of the Lillooet Archaeological Project which took place from 1969 to 1976 near the village of Lillooet in British Columbia. It consists of four papers, three of which were written by colleagues in disciplines other than archaeology. The papers discuss the present-day ecology, geologic history, and ethnography of the research area and recount the objectives, origin, and history of the project.

A detailed survey of the archaeology of southwest Yukon Territory, based upon excavations in 1966 and 1968 as well as laboratory analysis of all sizeable collections obtained earlier. Archaeological, ethnographic and paleoenvironmental data are integrated into a synthetic view of prehistory in northwestern North America.

L'analyse de la céramique du gisement Beaumier constitue un effort pour développer une méthode de travail susceptible de favoriser la comparaison des données fournies dans les ouvrages pertinents. Les caractères morphologiques et décoratifs ont servi à établir une séquence culturelle des Iroquois du Saint-Laurent pour la région de Trois-Rivières. Le lecteur en désaccord avec l'interprétation de l'auteur aura la liberté de regrouper les caractères à sa façon afin de justifier ses affirmations.

À partir du matériel excavé de plusieurs habitations eskimos feu Claude Desgoffe, ce mémoire, montre que la culture Manitunik n'a probablement pas existé et qu'il s'agit plutôt d'un mélange artificiel d'outils provenant de sites de cultures et d'époques diverses.

An expanded and revised compilation of Canadian archaeological radiocarbon dates including those of the first publication in 1969 to the spring of 1976. Sites are arranged alphabetically by province or territory. An index of Borden Site Designation System numbers is provided.

Analysis of the Atigun site based on work conducted in 1973 and 1974 on the North Slope of the Central Brooks Range, Alaska. The Atigun site is marginal to both Native and Inuit territory, thus the primary concern of this analysis is the cultural affiliation of its occupants. Conclusions point to late summer occupation of the site by Athapaskans between A.D. 1400 and A.D. 1800. This period is defined as the Kavik phase.

Excavation at the Stampede Camp and the Saamis site, located in Medicine Hat, Alberta, resulted in the isolation of five site areas from which an abundance of artifacts were recovered, providing data for detailed typological analysis, cultural reconstruction and comparative studies. Together the two sites were occupied during the Middle Prehistoric, Late Prehistoric and Protohistoric periods.

Research at Point Pelee in extreme southern Ontario revealed a unique sequence of prehistoric occupation at three major multi-component sites. This sequence has been divided into four periods commencing in the 6^th century A.D. and terminating about the fifteenth century A.D.

Over 1,400 individual skeletons from three major skeletal populations were examined for a series of approximately fifty infracranial non-metric traits. Trait frequencies are studied for size, sex and age differences, trait intercorrelations, and association with bone robusticity. Skeletal population studies are performed using various combinations of the traits and two distance statistics.

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.

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.

And,

This thesis is an experimental lithic study designed to test the hypothesis that wear patterns which form on stone tools are diagnostic of the material on which the tool was used. The results of the experiments indicate that the hypothesis is substantiated, or not refuted.

This is a preliminary study of temporal and spatial relationships between Canadian Plains peoples, climates and bison populations over the past 10,000 years. Discreteness of two bison populations, hunting and band movements and communication are discussed together with the probable role of grassland faciation as a control on bison migration.

Description and analysis of Thule and Dorset culture material, including house structures, excavated at three archaeological sites.

Excavations at three Ocean Bay culture sites at Ocean Bay and on Afognak Island bordering the Gulf of Alaska extend time depth to circa 4000 B.C. and gave a new technological dimension to a sub-area of the North Pacific where the previously known sequence had for 3,000 years emphasised ground slate technology.

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.

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.

Examination of vertebrate faunal remains held in museum collections is reported. To understand or identify human modification of bone and antler, the analysis emphasizes post-mortem processes including geological, biological and cultural ones that have led to the alteration and distribution of bone elements. In addition, to provide analogs for this analysis, bone breaking experiments were conducted.

The proceedings of the Interamerican Seminar on Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage and the Technical Meeting on Rescue Archaeology are presented in Spanish, French, English and Portuguese. These meetings, held jointly in the Panamanian Museum of Man, were organized by the Working Group on Conservation of Historical and Prehistorical Heritage, (Pan American Institute of Geography and History, the Cultural Heritage Technical Unit (Organization of American States) and the National Directorate (Historical Heritage of Panama). / Les comptes-rendus de l'Interamerican Seminar on Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage et de la Technical Meeting on Rescue Archaeology sont présentés en espagnol, en français, en anglais et en portugais. Ces réunions, tenues conjointement dans le Musée national de l'Homme du Panama, étaient organisées par le groupe de travail sur la conservation du patrimoine historique et préhistorique, (Institut panaméricain de géographie et d'histoire), l'Unité technique du patrimoine culturel (Organisation des États américains) et la Direction nationale (Patrimoine historique du Panama).

Archaeological remains from two late prehistoric / early historic sites in east central Alaska ─ Dakah de'nin's, an Ahtna Athapaskan village site and Dixthada, an Upper Tanana Athapaskan site ─ are presented and, with findings from a Kutchin Athapaskan site (Klo-kut) in the northern Yukon Territory, form the basis for an examination of whether or not the archaeological data warrants the definition of three distinct groups of Pacific Drainage Athapaskans during prehistoric and early historic time.

Port Refuge is a small bay on the south coast of Grinnell Peninsula, Devon Island, in the High Arctic. Archaeological work between 1972 and 1977 recovered remains of several prehistoric occupations of this area, which are ascribed to the Independence I, Pre-Dorset, Independence II / early Dorset, late Dorset and Thule cultures. This report describes the archaeological material relating to the early Arctic Small Tool tradition occupations.

This report describes the results of excavations at the Banting and Hussey sites, two Paleo-Indian campsites located near Alliston in Simcoe County, southern Ontario, and the results of survey work along the strandline of glacial Lake Algonquin in the Alliston 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.

A report on the activities of the Archaeological Survey of Canada, National Museum of Man for the years 1977 to 1979.

Un rapport sur les activités du Commission archéologique du Canada, Musée national de l'Homme pendant les années 1977 à 1979.

Palaeo-ecological data from central North America are synthesized in order to demonstrate the effects of the Altithermal or Atlantic Climatic Episode (circa 5500 to 3000 B.C). on vegetation. Against this environmental backdrop, Early Middle Prehistoric archaeological complexes are considered with particular attention to site setting, exploitation strategies and site distribution with comparisons to both earlier (Plano) and later (late Middle Prehistoric) complexes in the same region.

Excavations at the Washout site (NjVi-2), Herschel Island, Yukon Territory were conducted for two field seasons in order to obtain data on early Thule subsistence, and to determine the affinity of the site to later Mackenzie Inuit occupations.

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.

A detailed description of the specimens recovered from the Glenbrook prehistoric village site in Glengarry County, Ontario attributed to the St. Lawrence Iroquois. The presence of certain Huron ceramics and smoking pipes suggest liaison between the villagers and the Huron on the Benson or Parsons site time levels. This connection supports the conclusion derived from the analysis of the artifacts which places the occupation of the Glenbrook village very late in the prehistoric period.

The results of investigations of copper technology and sources of copper of the prehistoric inhabitants of the North American Arctic and Subarctic are described. A total of 342 artifacts were examined from Arctic Small Tool tradition, Thule, Historic Eskimo, Chipewyan, Kutchin, and Ahtna contexts. Part 1 contains an analysis of copper composition, primarily by the neutron activation method, and a description of prehistoric manufacturing techniques. Part II is an annotated bibliography of metal occurrences in the north.

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.

An analysis of the Walker site, a large ten acre, nonpalisaded Neutral Iroquois town occupied circa 1640 A.D. The site provides a comparative baseline for the study of the Neutral Iroquois and demonstrates trends and relationships extant during the late part of the Neutral sequence.

And

Analysis indicates Neutral Iroquois occupancy of the six acre Hamilton site from circa 1638 to 1650 A.D., but the presence of a high percentage of foreign pottery raises a number of interpretational hypothesis to account for it.

This study is based on the premise that marriage patterns determine the composition of the adult segment of hunter-gatherer groups, and that the composition is reflected in the expression of osteological traits within and between sexes. Analysis of metric and non-metric traits in adult skeletons from Locus II of the Port au Choix3 site suggest the practice of exogamy coupled with a virilocal post-nuptial marriage pattern.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The early historic, ca. A.D. 1615, Neutral Iroquoian Christianson village site (AiHa-2) proves to be integral in the development of the historic Neutral sequence and the understanding of fur trade related events in early seventeenth century southern Ontario. The following aspects of the Christianson site are emphasized: an examination of the ecological factors which may have influenced the placement of the village; the morphology of the site, focussing on interior longhouse planning; and, analysis of the artifact assemblage.

This multidisciplinary study determines the mean age and range of variation for the calcification and eruption of the permanent teeth in Native Canadian populations. An Eruption Index is developed to more accurately predict age in skeletal material from the age of alveolar emergence.

Using artifact data collected and analyzed in 1978 from 4 sites in the Duke Point area and comparable data from other sites in the southern Gulf of Georgia region, it is demonstrated that perceived differences in artifact assemblages, particularly on a presence / absence basis, are not as clear-cut as they were once considered to be. Rather, the significant differences lie in the relative frequencies and percentages of certain artifact types. The utility of the current three-part framework for archaeological analysis, which has encouraged the interpretation of migration, diffusion, and independent invention to explain the origins and temporal variation of culture in the southern Gulf of Georgia region, is critically examined.

Late Quaternary geology and archaeology of the Bow River valley at Calgary, Alberta are considered in terms of archaeological visibility, defined as recognizability of any archaeological manifestations or patterns, in the field or laboratory.

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.

Archaeological excavations between 1979 and 1981 at three house sites on the western coast of Coronation Gulf attempt to investigate Thule culture in this strategic but marginal region. These sites, along with others already excavated, appear to represent a fairly distinctive stylistic variant of Thule culture in the western central Arctic. This variant is primarily affiliated with western rather than eastern Thule, and appears to be of direct Alaskan origin.

A synthesis of biological relationships during the Woodland period of southern Ontario prehistory is presented. The database consists of a battery of discontinuous nonmetric cranial traits which is used to compute C.A.B. Smith's Mean Measure of Divergence (MMD) between 17 large (N>20 crania) Woodland samples. The research design tests a series of hypotheses formulated from a review of previous skeletal and archaeological studies in the research area. The main strategy is to eliminate those factors potentially biased toward producing Type I or Type II statistical errors and emphasize the selection of an appropriate battery of traits to compare the samples, since inappropriate data would ruin attempts to estimate biological distance from the start.

Excavations at the Little Qualicum River site, DiSc-, yielded a Gulf of Georgia culture type assemblage dating from about A.D. 1000. In addition to stone, bone, antler, and shell, materials commonly found in prehistoric sites on Vancouver Island, artifacts made of wood and bark were recovered. It is the presence of the unique floral material which prompted the dual focus of this thesis: a general description of the site and the cultural assemblage (with particular emphasis on the wood and bark artifacts. And a locational analysis which relates the range of materials (resources) to the subsistence activities carried out at the site.

Aspects of degenerative and traumatic pathology were studied in a skeletal series of Hudson Bay Inuit recovered from the site of Tunirmiut at Native Point, Southampton Island, Northwest Territories in 1955 and 1959. From these studies of the Sadlermiut, a people who became extinct during the winter of 1902-03, twenty activity patterns which had the potential of leaving a permanent imprint on the skeleton were identified─some of these common to humanity in general, some characteristic of all Inuit, and some unique to the Sadlermiut.

This thesis discusses the results of excavation and analysis of the Rat Creek site (MjVg-1), a late prehistoric-historic stratified site located on the Porcupine River, northern Yukon Territory.

Part 1. This study presents a model of Ontario Iroquoian village organization, based on fourteen Late Iroquoian (ca. A.D. 1450-1650) village plans, historic documents and comparative data on contemporary communities. It is argued that socio-political factors (village demography, socio-economics and government) were the major determinants of Iroquoian village arrangement.

Part 2. In light of the socio-political model suggested in part one of this book, changes in longhouse village planning, throughout the Ontario Iroquois sequence (A.D. 700 - 1650) are interpreted as responses to evolutionary trends in Iroquoian warfare patterns and political organization.

Martin Frobisher led three voyages to the Canadian Arctic between 1576 and 1578.
