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 Full Text: Community Coalescence and Regional Geospatial Trends of Ceramic Decorative Variation in Late Woodland Northern Iroquoia A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the …

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 Full Text: MORPHOMETRIC AND DECORATIVE VARIABILITY IN COMPLETE AND NEAR-COMPLETE MIDDLE AND LATE WOODLAND VESSELS FROM THE FRONTENAC AXIS A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts …

Abstract: <p>Fatty acid analysis was performed on archaeological bone from various fauna from sites in the Canadian arctic to better understand the preservation of fatty acids and their potential applications to palaeoecological and palaeodietary studies. These data were complemented by analyses of modern bone and soft tissue samples from livestock and harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus). Results… more Full Text: CHEW THE FAT: AN EXAMINATION OF THE PRESERVATION OF FATTY ACIDS IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL BONE A Thesis Submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science …

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 Full Text: Bifacial Stone Tool Variability during the Late Paleoindian Period at Kruger 2 (BiEx-23), Eastern Townships, Québec A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the …
