Description

Excavations conducted at the Ross site in southeastern Alberta during 1981 yielded considerable quantities of data with scientifically significant results. These investigations were required at this high-value prehistoric stone circle site because it was to be impacted by a proposed housing subdivision in Medicine Hat. Ethos Consultants Ltd. conducted the excavation by focusing on specific objectives developed from a previous assessment program. These investigations yielded evidence of at least three prehistoric occupations, with the principal occupation dated to about 500 AD. The report suggests that the site is one of the most significant stone circle sites yet investigated in Alberta and possibly in all of the Northern Plains.
