Husbandry and Herd Control in the Upper Paleolithic: A Critical Review of the Evidence [and Comments and Reply]
A Retrospectus And Commentary
Stone Age Science in Britain? [and Comments and Reply]
In the last few decades, several writers have drawn attention to indications of the existence of science in nonliterate, Neolithic societies. One proponent of that idea is Alexander Thom, who has carried out extremely exact measurements of Neolithic stone monuments in Britain. Thom maintains that perhaps the main purpose of several megalithic monuments was to serve as astronomical observatories-that the exact sightlines they provide would make it…

Stones, Solstices and Sun Dance Structures
Eleven boulder configurations in Saskatchewan were examined in 1975 for possible astronomical alignments. Three were found to contain alignments to summer solstice phenomena. Ethnographic interviewing failed to discover any tradition of solstice marking in the historic tribes of the Northwestern Plains, but did suggest that the boulder configurations may have been constructed for the private observations of calendar-keeping shamans. Ethnoarchaeol…

The Small Side-Notched Point System of the Northern Plains
Three point types, and the several varieties of each, make up the Small Side-notched Point System of the northern Plains. The earliest type is the Avonlea, appearing with large-scale communal bison hunting in the northern Plains early in the Christian era. The Avonlea type is replaced after ca. A.D. 700 by the Prairie Sidenotched type, which may have been derived from the Middle Woodland Besant points that were contemporary with Avonlea. The fina…
The Distribution and Implications of Fluted Points in Saskatchewan
Classic Clovis, classic Folsom, and atypical fluted points from southern Saskatchewan are described. The variations in the atypical fluted points, which include three fluted Piano points, suggest that the parallel-flaked tradition was developed out of the fluted tradition in the centuries of rapid climatic shift following the retreat of the Valders ice. This development may have taken place in the region that included southern Saskatchewan

Middle Woodland Pottery From Saskatchewan
Pottery associated with Besant points in southern Saskatchewan, and radiocarbon dated A. D. 354, is described
The AvonLea Point: Horizon Marker for the Northwestern Plains
The authors define a readily distinguished type of small, triangular, side-rotched projectile point previously assigned to the Late Prehistoric Period of the northwestern Plains but which was thought too generalized to be used in studies of cultural and ethnic affiliation.Type sites are described, geographical distributions made, and factors considered which may have influenced the development of this point type in southwestern Saskatchewan.It is…

Observations on the Butchering Technique at a Prehistoric Bison-Kill in Montana
The analysis of the bone from a bison drive in north-central Montana corroborates the implications of White's analyses of bison bone from Plains villages: the heaviest non-meaty bone was left at the kill site, the bones rich in marrow were chopped up for marrow-extraction; even when many animals were available all were thoroughly utilized by the hunters. This excavation also confirms ethnographic data on season of drives, methods of butchering, a…
Boulder Effigy Monuments in the Northern Plains
IN September 1956, the writers visited an interesting aboriginal monument on the North Blackfoot Reserve near Cluny, Alberta, a few miles from Blackfoot Crossing. Our guide, a local resident named Joe Black Face Chief, led us four miles west of the bridge by which the road south from Cluny crosses the Bow River, down the bluff and into the flats bordering the Bow. Here, amid the grass of a haying camp owned by Many Bears, lay a human effigy outli…
Three Dry-Laid Masonry Structures in the Northern Rocky Mountains
In July, 1956, I was requested by Harry B. Robinson, Chief Park Naturalist of Glacier National Park, to investigate 3 archaeological features reported to have been discovered in road construction through Marias Pass, along the southern boundary of Glacier Park. Boyd B. Gordon, Resident Engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads, in charge of the project, took me to the features in northwestern Montana, approximately 12 airline miles west of the Conti…
