Description

An archaeological survey of the Caribou and Birch Mountains and portions of the Peace, Athabasca and Clearwater rivers in northern Alberta was directed at inventorying sites and assessing whether or not differential occupation of two ecologically dissimilar uplands had occurred. Greater usage of the Birch than the Caribou Mountains upland was evidenced by the more extensive and more densely distributed sites on the Birch Mountains. Differential use of lakes on the uplands was also recorded and possible explanations are offered for it.
