Kruger 2 is a basecamp occupied during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition in the Eastern Townships, Southern Quebec. The goal of this project is to quantify the variability observed in bifacial tools and to explain it. Geometrics Morphometrics and traditional attributed-… more Year: 2021, 2021

To do so I examine the statistical shape and phase boundaries of samples of radiocarbon dates associated with the Princess Point, Sandbanks, Glen Meyer, and Pickering archaeological complexes. The radiocarbon dates used for this thesis were collected… more Year: 2021, 2021

Abstract: <p>The tools and techniques used by Ontario's Middle Woodland potters to create designs on vessels have often been assumed in the literature. Pottery typologies currently use these assumptions to classify ceramics found in the archaeological record. Assumed, or suggested, tools and techniques include cord impression, cord-wrapped stick, fabric impression, fabric-wrapped paddle, incised… more Year: 2021, 2021

Previous interpretations of these assemblages' ceramic decorative variability have been based on the assertion that potters from these communities used collar decorative motifs as communicative social… more Year: 2021, 2021

This was never more true than during the Hellenistic (323 – 133 BC) and Roman (133 BC – AD 450) periods in the Mediterranean. This thesis examines the territory of the Roman city of Sagalassos in the region of Pisidia, modern province of Burdur, and determines if olives… more Year: 2021, 2021

Using both typological and attribute based analysis. The results indicate a form of seasonal occupation. The ceramic patterning on… more Year: 2021, 2021

and Late Woodland vessels. The purpose of this study is to determine how a better
understanding of variability in Middle and LateWoodland period pottery can help interpret
fragmentary assemblages and supplement… more
