Description

Archaeological studies at this site were initiated in response to the planned construction of a residential subdivision in northwest Calgary. The results of the excavation demonstrated a significant interpretive potential associated with the depressional features on Nose Hill. Gaps in the archaeological record, as expressed in the Hawkwood site (primarily of the Tuxana Tradition), are known to be present elsewhere on the uplands north of Calgary and represent a significant asset to future generations of archaeologists.
