Description

Results of the moose aerial population count surveys for the 2018 hunting season in Alberta. The surveys were conducted in Wildlife Management Unit 320. The primary objectives of this survey were to assess the status of moose populations by determining a population estimate based on density estimates, and a population demographic split for sex and age classes. The secondary objectives of this survey were to assess the status of white-tailed deer, mule deer and elk populations in WMU 320 by determining a population estimate based on density estimates, and a population demographic split for sex and age classes.

Description

Stone production debris (debitage) is the most common artifact type found at archaeological sites in North America. A significant time investment is required to catalogue debitage from large assemblages. Conventional thought holds that, because lithic tool manufacture is reductive, the attributes of flake size and cortex amount will decrease throughout production while dorsal flake scars increase. Dorsal scar count is an attribute commonly used to infer trends in an assemblage; however, the statistical significance of dorsal scars as a measure of the stage of lithic tool production has not been addressed adequately. Cortex amount is also used to deduce lithic reduction stages; however, the author argues that this may not represent behavioral patterns as meaningfully as platform morphology.
