Each article focuses on one raw material; the current article discusses a silicified lignite called Knife River Flint (KRF) that originates in North Dakota and appears in archaeological sites across Alberta. Local materials, including chalcedony, silicified peat/petrified wood, and translucent chert, can be mistaken for KRF: macroscopic and microscope qualities of these materials are described with an accompanying photograph library to assist identification. Several methods were tested to assess their feasibility for distinguishing KRF from local materials. KRF so closely resembles other materials in terms of macroscopics, microscopics, and geochemistry that conclusively demonstrating provenance remains problematic.2018-02-27T19:17:15.184421+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/cf56cb5d-8ae6-48d4-9975-f24738aca571The swing of things : contributions to archaeological research in Alberta, 2018.

Bone uprights are vertical animal bones (usually bison) that were embedded in the ground and served several purposes for pre-contact people.2019-09-27T17:26:01.340856+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/3248c769-4e97-45ac-a939-d637a3c8371aAn excavation at the White Horse Lake Cairn (EeOo-1), with comparisons to other excavated cairns in southern Alberta2023-11-22T21:33:40.354593+00:00This is an article about pre-contact stone features in Alberta. The results of an archaeological excavation of a stone cairn in southern Alberta are compared to results of other excavations at stone cairns in the province. The results inform expectations and management practices concerning an important historic resource in Alberta.2019-07-24T15:17:29.077428+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/058fa205-8fa6-4669-957a-cf73cddd79b5Advancing archaeology : industry and practice in Alberta, 2019.
