Name(s): Thesis advisor (ths): Conolly, James, Degree committee member (dgc): Haines, Helen, Degree committee member (dgc): Janz, Lisa, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This thesis presents a palaeotopographic reconstruction of the Burleigh Bay region of Stony Lake (Kawartha Lakes Region, Ontario) from 12,600 cal BP to present. The paleotopographic reconstructions are used to model paleoshoreline locations and archaeological site potential for the Late Paleoindian and early Archaic periods. Isostatic rebound following the end of the last glacial period… more

Assessing Molecular and Ecological Differentiation in Wild Carnivores

Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
Name(s): Creator (cre): Johnson, Justin Brian, Thesis advisor (ths): Murray, Dennis L, Thesis advisor (ths): Shafer, Aaron B.A., Degree committee member (dgc): Conolly, James, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Wild populations are notoriously difficult to study due to confounding stochastic variables. This thesis tackles two components of investigating wild populations. The first examines the use of niche modeling to quantify macro-scale predator-prey relationships in canid populations across eastern North America, while the second examines range-wide molecular structure in Canada lynx. The… more

The Development of a Digital Comparative Collection of Chert Types in Ontario and the Evaluation of Change in Accuracy and Confidence of Chert Type Identifications

22370-Thumbnail Image.png
Year: 2019, 2019
Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
Name(s): Creator (cre): Armstrong, Mackenzie, Thesis advisor (ths): Conolly, James, Degree committee member (dgc): Munson, Marit K, Degree committee member (dgc): Dubreuil, Laure, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>The objective of this thesis is to create a foundation for a digital comparative collection of chert types found on archaeological sites in Ontario, both local and non-local varieties, and to evaluate the impact of a digital reference collection on the confidence and accuracy of the user in comparison to hard copy guides or hand samples that are more often traditionally used. Spatial and… more

Lost Landscapes of the Kawarthas: Investigating Inundated Archaeological Sites Using Integrated Methods

22569-Thumbnail Image.png
Year: 2019, 2019
Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection
Name(s): Creator (cre): Obie, Michael Albert, Thesis advisor (ths): Conolly, James, Degree committee member (dgc): Williams, Jocelyn, Degree committee member (dgc): Moore, Jennifer, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>The Kawartha Lakes region of south-central Ontario is dominated by water bodies and rivers, where humans are known to have lived since at least 10,500 years ago, only shortly after the retreat of glaciers from the region. Since this time, water levels within the region have changed dramatically as a result of various geophysical, climatological, and human-induced-phenomenon, leaving… more
