Description

This report presents the final results of the 1984 field season at the Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump site, which represents the second season of archaeological research by the staff of Alberta Culture at this World Heritage Site. This multi-year research project is designed to undertake mitigative investigations preparatory to the installation of an interpretive centre and attendant facilities, as well as to conduct research oriented studies which will provide some of the information required to assemble an interpretive programme for the site. The majority of the 1984 field season was devoted to the research-oriented objectives of the project which have been focused on the-poorly understood campsite deposits located on the prairie flats below the kill site deposits. Although much of the mitigative research programme was completed in the previous field season, several design modifications to parking facilities and road alignments required that further in-field archaeological...

Description

Excavations conducted at the Ross site in southeastern Alberta during 1981 yielded considerable quantities of data with scientifically significant results. These investigations were required at this high-value prehistoric stone circle site because it was to be impacted by a proposed housing subdivision in Medicine Hat. Ethos Consultants Ltd. conducted the excavation by focusing on specific objectives developed from a previous assessment program. These investigations yielded evidence of at least three prehistoric occupations, with the principal occupation dated to about 500 AD. The report suggests that the site is one of the most significant stone circle sites yet investigated in Alberta and possibly in all of the Northern Plains.

Description

The 1984 Public Opinion Survey on Recreation was the fourth study conducted by Alberta Recreation and Parks to gather current information about the leisure behaviour of Albertans. The survey questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of 8,031 Albertans and responses were received from 3,921 households or 54.5% of the effective sample size. This report is the second of two reports which focus on the analysis of the 1984 survey data. The first report, entitled Public Opinion Survey on Recreation (1984); Summary of Final Results, provided a descriptive overview of the results in a tabular and graphic format. The present report provides a detailed analysis of the 1984 survey data, and an assessment of trends or changes through comparisons with the 1981 Public Opinion Survey on Recreation.

Description

This document constitutes the final report of archaeological activities during the 1983 field season by staff of Alberta Culture at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. The site has been identified by the provincial government or the development of an on-site public interpretive program. One of the primary purposes was to conduct archaeological studies of the site areas where development would cause surface disturbance, such as parking lots, access roads, the building site and smaller related facilities. A second purpose in initiating a multi-year archaeological project at the site was to begin acquiring information about the site which is not available from previous studies and which is necessary to the interpretive program planned for the site.

Description

The Eaglenest Portage Site (alternately referred to by the briefer Borden designation, HkPa 4), is a large site located in the Birch Mountains region of northeastern Alberta. Extensive excavations aimed at obtaining a glimpse of the spatial structure of artifact distributions on the site were carried out during the summer of 1976. An assemblage dominated by simple flake tools and debitage was recovered. The site has been occupied over the last two millenia and comparisons have been made with assemblages from the areas North and East of the Birch Mountains.
