Description

In October 1975, a human burial was located during construction activities in Elk Point, Alberta. It consisted of the flexed skeleton of a middle-aged male, with a bundle of artifacts in place under his head. Due to exceptionally good preservation, many perishables are present among these artifacts and a number of special analyses thus have been possible. As the result of full osteological, artifactual and contextual analyses the burial is dated to the first decade of the nineteenth century and the individual identified as probably a Cree, probably a medicine man and possibly a member of the Cree mite·wiwin society.
