Excavations in 1971 and 1972 reveal two major occupation levels at the Estuary Bison Pound site, located near the head of a large coulee on the south bank of the South Saskatchewan River, just below its confluence with the Red Deer River. They present strong evidence to suggest that the Old Women’s phase developed from the Avonlea phase.

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.

Ten Thule house ruins were excavated during 1968 and 1969 at Silumiut, Kamarvik, and Igluligardjuk, major winter settlements along Roes Welcome Sound and northwestern Hudson Bay. Radiocarbon dating places the occupation of these sites at the end of the twelveth century A.D. This work expands Mathiassen’s original investigation of Thule culture southward from Repulse Bay.

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.

Excavation at the Stampede Camp and the Saamis site, located in Medicine Hat, Alberta, resulted in the isolation of five site areas from which an abundance of artifacts were recovered, providing data for detailed typological analysis, cultural reconstruction and comparative studies. Together the two sites were occupied during the Middle Prehistoric, Late Prehistoric and Protohistoric periods.
