1 Archaeology and the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society 1
2 What is Archaeology? Archaeology is the study of the human past using a wide range of scientific methods and techniques Archaeology is not the study of dinosaurs, and it rarely has the glamour of Indiana Jones! 2
3 Archaeology happens in Saskatchewan every day! The provincial Heritage Property Act protects archaeological sites as a non-renewable resource Sites are found by regular people, as well as amateur archaeologists and the professional community (university, government, RSM and consultants) Government regulates developments (oil and gas projects, subdivisions, roads, gravel pits, etc) to ensure archaeological sites are not destroyed 3
4 How Archaeologists Study the Past Surveying Excavation Oral Traditions and Oral History Historical Records Lab Analysis 4
5 What do Archaeologists Find? Sites Artefacts Features Ecofacts Artefacts 5
6 Archaeology in Saskatchewan Divided into: Precontact Period Dates back to at least 11,000 years BP Subdivided into Early, Middle, and Late Precontact Periods Historic Period Begins roughly around the mid 1500s A consistent European presence 6
7 Archaeology in Saskatchewan: Early Precontact Period Dates: range around 12,000 to 7,500 years ago Saskatchewan looked very different. Glaciers are still present but melting. The land is colder so forests are much further south. Animals like mammoths are still alive. Bison are twice as big as they are now Clovis Folsom Agate Basin / Hell Gap Arrowheads are actually spear tips which is why archaeologists use the term projectile point Alberta Scottsbluff Cody Knife 7
8 Archaeology in Saskatchewan: Middle Dates range from 7,500 to 2,000 years ago Precontact Period Glaciers are gone and the landscape is similar to now Believed to be warmer and drier Mummy Cave Oxbow Pelican Lake Shift in hunting strategies McKean / Duncan / Hanna 8
9 Atlatl Hunting Technology Aka a spearthrower 9
10 Archaeology in Saskatchewan: Late Precontact Period Dates range from 2,000 to 300 years ago Shift from dart points to arrowheads Pottery making starts Plains Side-notched / Mortlach pottery Old Women s pottery / Prairie Side-notched 10
