Role of deductive science in evaluation of alternatives in environmental assessment
As in all scientific-based decision-making, the methodologies used in environmental assessment must be as objective as possible. Applying hypothetico-deductive (h-d) scientific procedures to information used in environmental evaluation may contribute to the objectivity. This process involves identification of development site or plan alternatives which are tested by attempting to falsify each one on the basis of equivalent criteria and data. The …
North-South Interaction in the Late Prehistory of Central Saskatchewan
During the historic period, ca. A.D. 1700-1850, the herds of plains bison which wintered in the aspen parklands of central Saskatchewan have been seen as a magnet which attracted peoples from both the northern forests and the open grasslands on the south. Hence, the hypothesis of winter co-occupation of the parklands by culturally disparate groups has received widespread attention. Archaeological data relating to the 1500 years preceding historic…
Way Of The Migrant Herds
Prehistoric human seasonal movements on the northern Great Plains frequently are explained in relation to postulated bison movement patterns. Two contradictory hypotheses regarding seasonality of bison movements have emerged in the archaeological literature, with consequent implications for explanations of human demographic relationships. One postulate is that bison herds migrated regularly between woodland and grassland environments with the sea…
Prehistoric Settlement Response to the Harris Sand Hills, Saskatchewan, Canada
The Harris Sand Hills form an anomalous dune sand environment near the northern edge of the Saskatchewan plains grasslands where they merge into the aspen parkland. Based on the results of archaeological and environmental surveys of the Harris Sand Hills and surroundings, this study demonstrates that prehistoric settlement in the area was not random spatially and can be related to major topographic features and ecological zonation. This, in turn,…
Ecological Edges and Archaeological Site Location in Saskatchewan, Canada
Ecological concepts are being increasingly employed in archaeological explanation. Included are the concepts of the edge area and the edge effect. Archaeological data in Saskatchewan indicate that the presence of local landform-based edges influenced precise choice of habitation location by prehistoric human groups. The near proximity of a maximum variety and stability of resources to such ecological edges may have been the overriding factor resu…
