This book represents the archeological evidence for the first 5,500 years of prehistory in British Columbia, from about 10,500 to 5,000 years ago. As this period is poorly known, even to specialists, Early Human Occupation in British Columbia is a vital contribution to current knowledge about an enigmatic time in a critically important area of western North America.
This volume describes the activities of the Archaeological Survey of Canada, National Museum of Man, for the years 1980 and 1981. / Un rapport sur les activités du Commission archéologique du Canada, Musée national de l’Homme pendant les années 1980 à 1981.
First Peoples in Canada provides an overview of all the Aboriginal groups in Canada. Incorporating the latest research in anthropology, archaeology, ethnography and history, this new edition describes traditional ways of life, traces cultural changes that resulted from contacts with the Europeans, and examines the controversial issues of land claims and self-government that now affect Aboriginal societies. Most importantly, this generously illustrated edition incorporates a Nativist perspective in the analysis of Aboriginal cultures.

--A fresh new look at adventure, survival and faith-- from a recipient of the Explorers Club Award. Adventure is in his blood. He has the explorer’s curiosity, the will to survive, and the faith to persevere.

Vivid descriptions of strange (to him) cuisine (such as bear meat and miserak) and innovative recipes (lichen shrimp soup) season many stories. Davidâ€...
A summary of Archaeological Survey of Canada activities in 1972.
Contains seven papers dealing with the physical anthropology of earlier Canadian Native populations or with subject materials relevant to the interpretation of their skeletal remains. Included are two site reports on prehistoric burials from British Columbia, a detailed investigation of mandibular torus, a skeletal trait commonly reported in Arctic populations and problems in paleopathology.
The Grant Lake site, located on the Dubawnt River in west-central Keewatin District, consists of a number of horizontally discrete living floors that pertain to the Agate Basin complex of the Palaeo-Indian period. It is proposed that the environment during the occupation between 6000 and 7000 B.C. was similar to present conditions.
This thesis attempts to delineate a cultural-chronological sequence from northwestern Ontario extending from the historic period to approximately 5000 B.C. Four phases representing three cultural traditions are defined.
