Description

Assemblages of radiocarbon dates have been used for inferring population changes, fine-tuning the chronology of specific events, and used in association with diagnostic stone tools to establish chronological markers. However, boreal forest ecosystems of northern Alberta have presented many challenges to using dates for these purposes, including academic neglect, acidic soils that decompose datable material, and the over-extension of typologies from neighboring regions. This study outlines recommendations for successful dating methods in the boreal forest, synthesizes Alberta’s boreal radiocarbon record, and infers changes in Indigenous populations throughout the Pre-contact Period. A total of 220 dated occupations from 135 pre-contact sites in Alberta’s Boreal Forest suggest that populations were very sporadic from about 10,000 cal BP until approximately 6,500 cal BP, then began to rise dramatically around 3,000 cal BP. Populations remained stable from approximately 1,500 cal BP...

Spatially explicit capture-recapture estimates of grizzly bear density and abundance in Alberta’s Bear Management Area 5

Description

This report provides a spatially explicit density and abundance estimate for the northern and southern portions of Bear Management Area 5 using data collected in 2014 and 2016. It also includes a... More ≫

Description

This report provides a spatially explicit density and abundance estimate for the northern and southern portions of Bear Management Area 5 using data collected in 2014 and 2016. It also includes a reanalysis of 2006 data using the same spatial boundaries present in the 2014 and 2016 inventories to allow for a better comparison between the two estimates.
