A method for detecting and monitoring changes to the Okotoks Erratic – “Big Rock” provincial historic site
Purpose Designing and implementing effective strategies for managing heritage resources throughout the world has become critically important as the impacts of climate change and human-caused destruction are increasingly felt. Of particular importance is the ability to identify and track fast- and slow-moving processes associated with weathering, erosion and the movement or removal of heritage objects by natural and human agents. In this paper, th…
New discoveries of Vertical Series and Foothills Abstract rock art at Writing-on-Stone, DgOv-2, southern Alberta
Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park and the surrounding region is home to one of the largest collections of rock art on the Great Plains. The painted and carved rock art images have been classified as overwhelmingly belonging to the established Plains Biographic and Plains Ceremonial traditions. Images associated with two lesser known Plains traditions, Vertical Series and Foothills Abstract, have not been previously reported anywhere within the gre…

Caribou drive systems made of stone lines and cairns [inuksuit] are a common feature of the far north but have been little studied by archaeologists. Two communal caribou kill sites from southern Victoria Island, Nunavut, Canada are discussed and illustrated. The Eggington site is a single-line drive where herds of caribou were directed through a saddle between two hills and killed from shooting pits. The POD site is a V-shaped funnel with two pr…
Archaeology on the Edge
Hot Rocks as Scarce Resources
Excavations at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Alberta, have documented a massive assemblage of carcass processing materials including many metric tons of rocks that have been thermally altered, apparently for use as boiling and cooking stones. The great majority of these rocks have been transported several kilometers to the site. Sandstone bedrock was available locally in unlimited amounts yet was seldom used, suggesting that imported rocks must h…

Anvil Boulders and Lithic Reduction on Southern Victoria Island, Northwest Territories
This paper reports on an unusual archaeological feature discovered at the Cadfael site (NiNg-17) on southeastern Victoria Island. Two large boulders apparently served as anvil stones on which quartzite cobbles were fractured. Lithic debris remained in situ on and around the boulders, preserving the materials and spatial arrangements as abandoned by the last flintknappers. Analysis of one boulder and the associated artifacts demonstrates that a bi…
