Book Synopsis Cactus Flower Site in Southeastern Alberta by : John H. Brumley
Download or read book Cactus Flower Site in Southeastern Alberta written by John H. Brumley and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 1975-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book The Buffalo People written by Liz Bryan and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2005 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation The Native people of the Canadian prairies have been living on the land for at least 12,000 years, finding sustainable lifestyles from the grasslands and the aspen parklands. Our knowledge of these people is limited: they had no writing, no large settlements, and very little in the way of lasting material things. Before the arrival of Europeans, they had no guns, no horses, and no hard metals. What clues we have come primarily from the work of archaeologists sifting through the buried evidence-little bits of stone, bone, and pottery, refuse heaps and firepits, ancients villages and burial sites, fingerprints, and prehistoric blood. Liz Bryan takes the clues from decades of archaeological research and presents an immensely entertaining and informative account of these ancient people. First published by University of Alberta Press in 1991, this revised and updated edition of the book features photographs, maps, and line drawings to help illustrate this amazing story.

Book Synopsis Changing Prairie Landscapes by : Patrick Douaud
Download or read book Changing Prairie Landscapes written by Patrick Douaud and published by University of Regina Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscapes of the Northern Great Plains have been constantly changing, but never so rapidly as under modern conditions of economic affluence and technological development. This change is multifaceted and has an impact not only on the fabric of culture and its perception of landscape, but also on the ecology and physical landforms. Multidisciplinary research has therefore become an important tool in identifying the influences that human activities have, not only on cultural landscapes but on biophysical ones as well. This collection of articles, originating in a conference held at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in April 2000, focuses on just such an integration of research concerning the Great Plains of North America and involving the disciplines of geology, archaeology, biology, geography, sociology, and agriculture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of a series of more than 20 volumes resulting from the World Archaeological Congress, September 1986, which brought together archaeologists and anthropologists from many parts of the world, academics from contingent disciplines, and non-academics from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. This book considers prehistoric and more recent manifestations of human hunting behaviour, with a general emphasis on communal hunting. It demonstrates that the combination of archaeological, ethnographic and ethnohistorical approaches provides a researched basis for consideration of the topic on worldwide, regional, and local scales. It includes theoretical and methodological issues, within a context of enquiry, original data presentation, and discussion. It is of interest to archaeologists, anthropologists and ethnohistorians.
