Description

This paper reports on the success of three seasons of excavation at the Junction Site, where anomalies identified through the use of a magnetometer became focal points for the mitigative excavations completed. Here we assess the utility of this technique in identifying buried features and further describe the many different features exposed. Our discussion concludes with an analysis of results and identification of the salient characteristics that distinguish the different functions of the features identified.

Description

Investigating stone circle sites can be notoriously difficult. This paper discusses some of the difficulties inherent with current stone circle research approaches and presents an alternative approach through the use of magnetometry and palaeobotanical analysis at three sites in south-central Saskatchewan. The paper highlights the successful use of magnetometry, the value of exploring this method for future research, and challenges to consider when using this approach.
