Archaeological Investigations at the Atigun Site, Central Brooks Range, Alaska
Author: Ian R. WilsonPublisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 1772820733
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
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.

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.

Development and Distribution of Discontinuous Morphological Variation of the Human Infracranial Skeleton
Author: Shelley Rae SaundersPublisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 1772820768
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 573
Book Description
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.

Walker Site — The Hamilton Site: A Late Historic Neutral Town
Author: Milton J. WrightPublisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 1772820970
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 453
Book Description
These two master’s theses represent the first detailed reports on historic Neutral village sites. 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. 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.
