Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.
