Description

Contains two papers in the Occasional Paper series. Excavations at Writing-On-Stone (Occasional Paper 12) reports on excavations at selected locations of the rock art site of Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park. The excavations demonstrate repeated native occupation of the area from approximately 3,000 BC into historic times. Significantly, bone tools found directly beneath petroglyph panels indicate that rock art was being created at Writing-on-Stone some 1,500 years earlier than previously suspected. Stone circles at Chin Coulee (Occasional Paper 13) presents results of salvage archaeological studies carried out in October 1975 of two tipi ring sites located on Chin Coulee, south of Taber. Proposed realignment of Highway 36 to would impact these sites.
