Download or read book Alberta s Lower Athabasca Basin written by Brian M. Ronaghan and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the oil sands region of northeastern Alberta has been the site of unprecedented levels of development. Alberta's Lower Athabasca Basin tells a fascinating story of how a catastrophic ice age flood left behind a unique landscape in the Lower Athabasca Basin, one that made deposits of bitumen available for surface mining. Less well known is the discovery that this flood also produced an environment that supported perhaps the most intensive use of boreal forest resources by prehistoric Native people yet recognized in Canada. Studies undertaken to meet the conservation requirements of the Alberta Historical Resources Act have yielded a rich and varied record of prehistoric habitation and activity in the oil sands area. Evidence from between 9,500 and 5,000 years ago—the result of several major excavations—has confirmed extensive human use of the region’s resources, while important contextual information provided by key geological and palaeoenvironmental studies has deepened our understanding of how the region’s early inhabitants interacted with the landscape. Touching on various elements of this rich environmental and archaeological record, the contributors to this volume use the evidence gained through research and compliance studies to offer new insights into human and natural history. They also examine the challenges of managing this irreplaceable heritage resource in the face of ongoing development. Contributors: Alwynne Beaudoin, Angela Younie, Brian O.K.

Download or read book The Shield Archaic written by James Vallière Wright and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general purpose of this study is to demonstrate the existence & nature of an Archaic tradition called the Shield Archaic, a tradition that occupied one third of Canada for most of its prehistory and was responsible for later, non-Archaic developments. The introduction reviews the Shield Archaic concept as part of archaeological research in the boreal forest of the Canadian Shield. Chapter 2 describes 11 Shield Archaic sites from Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, & the Northwest Territories and the artifacts found and chapter 3 makes comparisons between the Shield Archaic, other sites relating to the Shield Archaic, and three contemporaneous & adjacent assemblages: the Laurentian Archaic to the south-east, the Plains Archaic to the south-west, and the Pre-Dorset to the north. This chapter also discusses the possible origins of the Shield Archaic and its relation to the Palaeo-Indian period. The final chapter re-examines five hypotheses introduced in the study concerning the evolution, history, culture, and relationships of the Shield Archaic.
